Properties of Water
Due to hydrogen bonding, water molecules stick to each other, a phenomenon known by this term.
Cohesion
These simple sugars are the monomers that build complex carbohydrates.
Monosaccharides
This is the monomer for Lipids
What is Fatty Acid
These are the monomers from which proteins are built.
Amino acids
This is the monomer of a nucleic acid
nucleotide
This upward movement of water in plant vessels occurs because water molecules cling to the sides of narrow tubes.
Capillary action
This structural polysaccharide found in plant cell walls provides rigidity and protection.
Cellulose
This type of fat has a double bonded hydrogen molecule
what is Unsaturated Fat
Amino acids in a protein are connected by these types of bonds.
Peptide bonds
_____is a molecule that stores and transmits genetic information.
DNA
This property of water allows it to stabilize temperatures by absorbing large amounts of heat with only small changes in temperature.
High specific heat
What is the chemical equation of glucose
c6 h12 o6
This is the main function of lipids
What is to provide insulation and store energy within the cell
This is the name for amino acids joined together
Polypeptide chains
What are the five nitrogen bases by letter?
cytosine (C), thymine (T), uracil (U), adenine (A), and guanine (G).
This is a type of weak chemical bond that is formed when the slightly positive hydrogen atom of a polar covalent bond in one molecule is attracted to the slightly negative atom of a polar covalent bond in another molecule or in another region of the same molecule
Hydrogen Bond
Disaccharides and polysaccharides are formed through this process
Dehydration synthesis
This is the type of covalent bond that holds Lipids together
what is Ester Linkage
Hydrogen bonding along the protein backbone leads to these two secondary structures.
Alpha-helices and beta-pleated sheets
_____ is only found in RNA, while _______ is only found in DNA.
Uracil
Thymine
The clinging of one substance to another, such as water to plant cell walls
adhesion
Water molecules added to compound to break bonds
Hydrolysis
What is the test performed to see if a substance contains lipids
What is the Paper Bag Test
This level of protein structure refers to the overall three-dimensional shape formed by R-group interactions.
Tertiary structure
Each nucleotide in the sequence is bonded to the next through a ____________
(What Kind of Bond?)
phosphodiester bond
