Chemistry of Life
This type of bond causes the cohesive property of water.
What is a Hydrogen Bond
This type of fatty acid is solid at room temperature
What is Saturated
What is the basic monomer of carbohydrates that our bodies use most readily
What is Glucose
The 3 major functional groups in an amino acid.
What are the amino group, carboxyl group, and R side chain
This is the name of the overall structure of DNA
What is a Double Helix
The element that makes a compound "organic"
What is Carbon
What is the type of bond that make a fatty acid "Unsaturated"
What is a Double Bond
This is the type of storage polysaccharide found in plants
What is Starch
The name of the bond connecting the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another amino acid
What is a peptide bond
These are the two groups that make up the backbone of all nucleic acids
What are Phosphate groups and sugar
This is produced in a synthesis reaction
(bonus point for what other name synthesis reactions have)
What is water
This is the type of lipid that exists in a "lipid bilayer"
What is a Phospholipid
This is the structural polysaccharide in plants that humans are unable to digest (but cows can!)
What is Cellulose (fiber)
The primary structure of proteins is characterized by the specific order of ________
What is Amino Acids
This is the pentose sugar found in RNA
(bonus point for telling me what the actual difference is between this one and the one for DNA)
What is Ribose
This is how animals obtain the carbon they need for biological macromolecules
What is Eating/Food
What is Hydrophobic/Non-Polar
This the structure of the animal storage polysaccharide Glycogen
What is Branched
The level of protein structure that is characterized by bonds between R side chains
What is Tertiary
This is the type of nitrogenous base that has two connected carbon rings
This is what changes when structure changes
What is FUNCTION
This lipid does not follow the normal pattern of long tails, and instead has carbon rings
What are Steroids/Hormones/Cholesterol
This is the general ratio carbohydrates follow of Carbon to Hydrogen to Oxygen
what is CH2O
This category of R side chain will hide from water
What is hydrophobic
This is the nitrogenous base that pairs with an A, only in RNA
What is U (Uracil)
