Water
Water molecules are _____ molecules, meaning there is a partial negative charge near the oxygen atom and partial positive charges near the hydrogen atoms
Elements found in carbohydrates
C H O
Elements found in lipids
C H O P
Elements found in proteins
C H O N S
Elements in nucleic acids
C H O N P
The polarity of water molecules results in the formation of this type of bond between water molecules, which forms between the negative O on one water and the positive H on another water
What is H bond?
Monomer of a carbohydrate
What is a monosaccharide?
Fatty acid with no double bonds between the carbon atoms
What is a saturated fatty acid?
Monomer of a protein
Amino acid
Ribonucleic acid
The ice insulates the life below the surfacee
Polymer of a carbohydrate. Also called a complex carbohydrate
What is a polysaccharide?
Fatty acid with at least one double bond between carbon atoms
What is an unsaturated fatty acid?
Polymer of a protein
Polypeptide
DNA stands for
Deoxyribonucleic acid
How is water less dense as a solid?
When water is frozen, the molecules stop moving, causing H bonds to stabilize. This creates a less dense area of water molecules than if it was liquid
Through what process would a carbohydrate be broken down?
What is hydrolysis?
T/F: Phospholipids are completely nonpolar
FALSE (must explain why it's false to get the points)
What makes every amino acid different?
The R group
Bases of DNA
A T C G
As water moves from the roots throughout the plant, what is allowing water molecules to pull more water up from below?
What is H bonding? Will also accept cohesion
True or false: carbohydrates can occur as monosaccharides, straight chain polysaccharides, and branched polysaccharide?
True
What is the role of phospholipids?
They form our cell membranes/phospholipid bilayers
What would make an amino acid move to the inside center of a protein?
What makes DNA different from RNA?
The sugar (must state which sugar is found in DNA/RNA to receive the points)
