Chapter 5
The two types of secondary structures in proteins
What is alpha helix and beta pleated sheets?
What is a Purine
The presence of this main organelle is used to determine if a cell is a prokaryote or eukaryote
what is a nucleus?
a molecule that contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions
what is amphipathic?
What is an Unsaturated fatty acid?
The reaction that connects two monomers to form a polymer
what is a dehydration reaction?
A type of defense protein used to fight off infections
Organelle that synthesizes lipids, detoxifies drugs and poisons, and stores calcium ion
what is the smooth ER
A type if steroid that maintains fluidity by preventing tight packing
What is cholesterol?
An organic molecule that is made up with an amino group and carboxyl group
A peptide bond
What is the bond that connects amino acids
The most common monosaccharide
what is glucose?
The process of a cell engulfing of another cell
what is phagocytosis
What is a hydrophobic molecule?
a storage polysaccharide of plants, consists of glucose monomers
What is starch?
A storage polysaccharide in animals, mainly found in liver and muscle cells
What is Glycogen?
what is a nucleoside diphosphate
an organelle that specializes in metabolism using enzymes that removed hydrogen and from hydrogen peroxide
What is a peroxisome?
A type of protein imbedded in the plasma membrane that has non-polar alpha helics that penetrate the hydrophobic core of the membrane
The process that converts unsaturated fats to saturated fats bye adding hydrogen
What is hydrogenation?
A type of storage protein that is found in milk
What is Casein?
The type of bond found in a Nucleic acid sugar phosphate back bone.
What is phosphodiester Bonds
the circular flow of cytoplasm with in plant cells that is driven bye actin-protein interactions
what is cytoplasmic streaming?
A type of protein that in the plasma membrane that is used for cell to cell recognition
What is a glycoprotein?
A structural polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of arthropods
What is Chitin?
