The three elements in carbohydrates.

What are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen?

200

The cell component primarily made of lipids.

What is the membrane?

200
The function of a protein is determined by this.

What is shape?

200

The four nucleotides in DNA.

What are A, T, C, and G?

200

The kind of bond that holds individual water molecules together.

What are covalent bond?

400

The kind of bond that holds carbohydrates together.

What are covalent bonds?

400

The kind of covalent bond that holds together the fatty acid portion of lipids.

What is non-polar?

400

The variable portion of an amino acid.

What is an R-group?

400

The nucleotide present in RNA, but not DNA.

What is Uracil?

400

The kind of bond that holds separate water molecules together, and allows water molecules to bond to other polar molecules.

What are hydrogen bonds?

600

The cellular process in chloroplasts that makes carbohydrates.

What is photosynthesis?

600

This negatively charged polyatomic ion is added to the head of lipids when they form cell membranes.

What is a phosphate?

600

You can identify whether an R-group is polar or not based on the presence of Nitrogen or this electronegative periodic table neighbor.

What is Oxygen?

600

The two five carbon sugars in the middle of nucleic acids.

What are Ribose and Deoxyribose?

600

Due to it's hydrogen bonds water has a high specific heat, which means it takes a lot of energy to change this.

What is its temperature?

800

The source of energy stored in carbohydrates.

What is the sun?

800

Lipids do not make this kind of intermolecular bond with anything (including water).

What is a hydrogen bond?

800

Non-polar R-groups are this, meaning they do not interact well with water.

What is hydrophobic?

800

The kind of bond that holds together two separate strands of DNA.

What is a hydrogen bond?

800
Waters ability to stick to itself, which is what causes surface tension.

What is cohesion?

1000

The kind of reaction where the -H of one monosaccharide and the -OH of another monosaccharide split off to form water, and the two monosaccharides join together to form a disaccharide.

What is dehydration synthesis?

1000

The specific portion of eukaryotic cells which synthesize lipids.

What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

1000

The secondary structure of a protein is typically an alpha-helix or this.

What is a beta-pleated sheet?

1000

The two pyrimidines (one ring bases) in DNA.

What are Cytosine and Thymine?

1000
The combination of adhesion and cohesion are responsible for this phenomenon, which causes water to go from the ground up to the leaves in a tree.

What is capillary action?
