Organic molecules
The group contains a C=O (carbonyl) and an -OH (hydroxyl).
What is a carboxyl group?
The alkane ending -e is replaced by the ending -al.
What is the name of an aldehyde?
The complementary base to T (Thymine).
What is adenine (A)?

What is the citric acid cycle?
Process in which alcohol transforms into a carboxylic acid.
What is oxidation?
A -CH2CH3 group.
What is an ethyl group?

What is the directionality of DNA?
The amino acid sequence of a polypeptide.
What is a primary structure?
The way of fatty acid degradation in the mitochondria.
What is beta-oxidation?
The process to remove water from alcohol and make a C=C double bond.
What is dehydration?
The alkane ending -e is replaced by -ic acid.
What is carboxylic acid?
The ribose unit in this nucleic acid contains no OH-groups at C2.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
It is either an alpha-helix or a beta-sheet.
What is secondary structure?

What is UTP?
A functional group that contains a C=O and alcohol (O-R).
What is a (carboxyl) ester?
Carbon atom containing both an -OH group and a double bond.
What is an enol?
This nucleobase makes three hydrogen bonds with its complementary base Cytosine (C).
What is Guanine?
The process destroys a protein's secondary structure and makes it unfunctional.
What is denaturation?
A process that converts glucose to lactate and vice versa in two different parts of the body.
