Its the three unique components that make up phospholipids

What are 2 fatty accids, a glycerol molecule, and a phosphate group

100

The name of Nucleic Acid monomers

What are Nucleotides


100

The bonds that from between Amino Acids called

What are Peptide Bonds

100

The names of the monomers and polymers of carbohydrates 

Monosaccharides such as glucose or fructose,

Polysaccharides such as Starch, Glucose and Cellulose


100

What Kind of Isomers are the compounds below:

They are Stereoisomers as they contain the same number and types of atoms but have different bonding relationships. In Stereoisomers the carbon skeleton one of the elements bonds too is different, and it usually identifiable with a single bond.


200

The part of the phospholipid is hydrophilic, and which part of it is hydrophobic

What are the hydrophilic phosphate heads, and the hydrophobic Fatty Acids tail

200

The Three unique components that make up Nucleotides 

What is a phosphate group, a pentose sugar (ribose/ deoxyribose) and a nitrogenous base

200

The monomers of proteins and the 4 components that make them up

Amino acids, which are made up of a center carbon atom, an Amino Group (NH2) on its left, a Carboxyl Group (COOH), A Hydrogen atom below, and a side chain from the top

200

The process of joining monomers together into Polymers called and its products.

What is Condensation or Dehydration Reactions 

It creates a polymer and releases H2O.

200

What are the main difference between the two type of Carbonyl Functional Groups Aldehyde and Ketones when it comes to structural formula.

The difference is that Ketone (CO) has two side chains R while Aldehyde has on of its side chains replaced with a Hydrogen (H) atom.

300

The name of the bonds that attach the hydroxyl groups of Glycerol to the Carboxyl Groups of Fatty Acids.

What are Ester bonds

300

The two categories of Nitrogenous Bases and the bases that make them up

Double ring nitrogenous bases are Purine Bases.

They are made up of Adenine (A) and Guanine (G)

Single ring nitrogenous bases are Pyrimidine Bases.

They are made up of Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T)

Note: In RNA Thymine is replaced by Uracil (U)

300
The 4 different Hierarchies of Protein Strucure

What are primary, secondary, tertiary and Quaternary structures

300

Which of the following process aren't an example of a condensation Reaction:

The formation of ester bonds

The formation of peptide bonds, 

The formation of sucrose from glucose and fructose

The Formation of Glycerol and Fatty acids from Triglycerides

The formation of Glycerol and fatty acids from Triglycerides is an example of Hydrolysis where a polymer (Triglycerides) are broken down into two or more monomers (Glycerol and Fatty Acids)

300
What is the Structural Formula for Carboxyl?

What is its general pH considered?

It is generally acidic and forms peptide bonds

400

The difference that defines whether a Fatty Acid is Unsaturated or Saturated

Fatty acids with only single bonds are Saturated, and those with some double bonds are Unsaturated.

400

If a Strand of DNA has 20% Adenine, how much Guanine does it have?

There has to be an equal amount of Adenine to Thymine, so that uses 40%, leaving 60% for Guanine and Cytosine. Those must also be equal to each other, so There is 30% Guanine in the strand.

The 7 Major Categories of Proteins and their Functions

1. Gene Expression and Regulation Proteins (Self Explanatory)

2. Motor Proteins: Initiate movement like those in our muscles

3. Defense Proteins: Protects from Disease like our immune system.

4. Metabolic Proteins: Increases rate of Chemical reactions.

5. Cell-Signaling Proteins: Enable communication and with cells and their environment.

6. Structural proteins: Supports and Strengthens structures

7. Transport Proteins: Promote movements of solutes throughout membranes.

400

Which of the Following is considered a dimer?

1. Ribose

2. Proteins

3. Lactose

4. Nucleotides

3. Lactose is a disaccharide consisting of the two monosaccharides Glucose and Galactose 

400

What makes up the Primary structure of Proteins

The primary structure of proteins is the linear chain of Amino Acids joined together by covalent Peptide bonds.

500

What is the general structure of Steroids (Lipid)

The 4 carbon bonded rings with Hydroxyl scattered within

500

WARNING DIFFICULT QUESTION 

What Types of Nitrogenous Bases can bond with each other, and what kind of bond do they form?

Adenine bonds with Thymine/Uracil, and Guanine bonds with Cytosine 

Hydrogen Bonds join the bases together, while covalent bonds between the phosphate group of Nucleotides make up a DNA/RNA strand


500

WARNING DIFFICULT QUESTION

The 5 Factors that can effect Protein Structure


Hydrogen Bonds: Essential in determining secondary structures.

Ionic Bonds: Essential for Tertiary and Quaternary structures.

Hydrophobic Effects: Essential for Tertiary and Quaternary structure as amino acids avoid water

Van Der Waals Dispersion: Weak attractions among molecules that can repel for Tertiary and Quaternary.

Disulfide Bridges: Covalent Sulfhydryl bonds that form between amino acids for stability.

WARNING HARD QUESTION

When we chew a piece of bread for a while, (about a min) the flavor will begin to turn sweet, with the information you know about carbohydrates and the enzymes in our saliva, why do you suppose that is?

As we chew and the saliva covers the bread, it begins to break down the polysaccharide called starch in the bread into glucose, a sweet tasting simple sugar. This process is also known as Hydrolysis.
