BioChemistry/Biology "The Study Of Life"

1)Biochemistry 1

100

Essential element in all biomolecules. Can form 4 bonds. 

What is carbon.

200

Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and Nucleic acids

What are Categories of Polymers (biomolecules) in living things

300

organic compound made up of sugar molecules that contain the elements of hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 ratio. 

What are carbohydrates

400

Process by which biomolecules combine, water is produced.

What is dehydration synthesis (or condensation)

500

process by which biomolecules are lysed or broken down. water is a reactant. 

What is hydrolysis

2)Biochemistry 2

100

long chains of simple sugars (monosaccharides) linked together

What is a Polysaccharide

200

Made up of glycerol(3 carbon molecule) and 3 fatty acids(long hydrocarbon chain)

What is a Lipid/triglyceride

300

type of fat - solid at a room temperature. ex. butter; fatty acid chains have single bonds 

What are saturated fats

400

type of lipid with a ring structure ex. cholesterol, testosterone, estrogen

What are steriods

500

monomers of proteins, building blocks of protein, there are 20 different of these

What are amino acids

3)Biochemistry 3

100

chain of amino acids; combines to form ______

What are polypeptides

200

breaking down of proteins due to unfavorable pH, temp, etc. The protein doesn't function properly anymore. 

What is denaturation

300

proteins and nucleic acids have this specific element 

nitrogen

400

this biomolecule contains phosphorous 

What are nucleic acids

500

both DNA and RNA have these three components

What is - sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous base

4)Biochemistry 4

100

this nitrogenous base is not found in DNA

What is uracil

200

this level of protein structure involves the order or sequence of the amino acids. 

what is primary structure of proteins

300

this level of protein structure is determined by the R group interactions. (positive and negative amino acids form ionic bonds; cysteine amino acids form disulfide bridges; etc.)

What is tertiary structure of a protein. 

400

This level of protein structure involves local folding of the amino acid chain into elements such as alpha-helices and beta-sheets, and relies on hydrogen bonding to maintain this structure

What is secondary structure of a protein

500

This level of protein structure arises from interactions between multiple polypeptide units. 

What is quaternary structure of a protein

5)Bonds

100

Type of bond that is responsible for water's unique properties, including cohesion, adhesion, surface tension and high specific heat. 

What is hydrogen bond?

200

Type of covalent bond that is formed when amino acids combine

What is peptide bond

300

Type of bond between H and O within a water molecule. This bond contributes to water's polarity. 

What is polar covalent bond. 

400

This type of bond is formed between charged amino acids and contributes to the tertiary structure of proteins. This is also the type of bond in NaCl.

What is ionic bond.

500

Cysteine amino acids have a sulfhydryl functional group. Two cysteine amino acids will form this strong bond when the sulfhydryl's combine. This bond contributes to the tertiary structure of a protein.

What is disulfide bridge
