Carbohydrates
This is sugar is the monomer of polysaccharides like glycogen, starch, and cellulose.
What is glucose?
This molecule is the "backbone" of triglycerides and phospholipids.
What is glycerol?
This molecule with a signature carboxyl terminal is the monomer of proteins.
What are Amino Acids?
These monomers are made up of 3 parts, a sugar, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate.
What are nucleotides?
What is a Hydrogen Bond?
This polymer makes up the walls of plant cells.
What is cellulose?
This defining property of lipids makes them insoluble in water.
What is non-polar/hydrophobic?
This bond holds two amino acids together in a polypeptide.
What is a peptide bond?
This polymer is double-stranded and stores information.
What is DNA?
This property of water allows for phenomena like skipping rocks, rain drops, and water striders to walk on water.
What is high surface tension?
What is short-term energy?
This lipid functions primarily as hormones in the body.
What are steroids?
The secondary structure of a protein can either be alpha helix or this shape.
This modified nucleotide is contains an adenine base and 3 phosphates.
The bottom of a semi-frozen lake will always be this temperature, where the water is most dense.
Which elements make up Carbohydrates
Carbon
Hydrogen
Oxygen
These fatty acids have no double bonds.
What are saturated fatty acids?
This reaction forms a dipeptide.
What is dehydration synthesis?
This purine has two possible partners, depending on whether it is found in DNA or RNA.
What is adenine?
In water, this substance will dissociate to form hydroxide ions.
What is a base?
This monosaccharide does not follow the empirical formula CH2O
These lipids are found in cell membranes due to their amphipatic nature.
What are phospholipids?
This small protein acts as a hormone to help regulate glucose uptake.
What is insulin?
This type of bond ensures that nitrogenous bases always pair correctly in DNA and make sure the strands are held at a constant distance apart.
What are hydrogen bonds?
This process allows water to move against the pull of gravity, to be absorbed by paper towel, and to spread out on a piece of glass.
What is cohesion?
