Properties of Water
100
These three elements are found in carbohydrates.
What are Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen?
100
This is one function of a lipid.
What are cell membrane structure, long term energy storage, signaling molecules, and insulation.
100
The monomers of proteins.
What are amino acids?
100
These are the monomers of nucleic acids.
What are nucleotides?
100
This process allows sweating to cool us down.
What is evaporative cooling?
200
The general term for a sugar containing two monosaccharides.
What is a disaccharide?
200
These are the three classes of lipids.
What are fats, steroid, and phospholipids.
200
An amino acid is composed of these FIVE parts.
What are a central carbon, amino group, carboxyl group, hydrogen, and R group?
200
These three subunits make up a single nucleotide.
What are a pentose sugar, phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base?
200
This property of water allows water bugs to walk on the surface of water.
What is surface tension?
300
Name two polysaccharides.
chitin, cellulose, starch, glycogen
300
This lipid contains three fatty acids and a glycerol.
What is a neutral fat?
300
Amino acids are joined by this bond type.
What is a peptide bond?
300
These two molecules make up the backbone of the nucleic acid.
What are a sugar and a phosphate?
300
Oxygen is high in this, which causes the electrons of the hydrogen atoms to be pulled closer to oxygen, causing a polar covalent bond.
What is electronegativity?
400
What are the carbohydrate containing proteins that are found in the cell membrane and function as ID tags for the cell
glycoproteins
400
This fat type contains no double bonds.
What is a saturated fat?
400
This level of protein structure involves interactions between R groups.
What is tertiary structure?
400
This bond type connects the phosphate of one nucleotide to the sugar of the next in a nucleic acid.
What is a phosphodiester bond?
400
Heat is a measure of this.
What is average kinetic energy?
500
This type of bond links two glucose molecules.
What is a glycosidic linkage?
500
When a fat is formed, the fatty acid tails are connected to the glycerol by this PROCESS, resulting in this BOND TYPE.
What is dehydration synthesis and ester linakge.
500
This level of protein structure involves the arrangement of separate polypeptide subunits into a single protein.
What is quaternary structure?
500
These are the two functions of nucleic acids.
What are information storage and transfer?
500
Name four properties of water.
What are Ice Floats, good Solvent, Heat of Vaporization, Cohesion, adhesion, high specific heat, and Surface Tension?
