What is a glycosidic bond
100
a nonpolar molecule found in a biological organism that cannot be dissolved in water
What is a lipid
100
The monomeric unit that proteins and peptides are composed of
What is an amino acid
100
a protein that serves as a catalyst
What is an enzyme
100
The name of the enzyme used to coagulate milk when making cheese
What is rennet (or chymosin)
200
a polysaccharide that humans cannot digest because we lack the enzyme to break the particular glycosidic bond that links together the monosaccharide units
What is cellulose
200
A type of fatty acid that contains only single C-C bonds; butter is an example of one.
What is an saturated fat
200
The number of hydrogen atoms produced (in the form of water) when eight amino acids are linked together with a peptide bond
What is fourteen
200
A molecule that inhibits the action of an enzyme by binding to it covalently in such a way that it can no longer catalyze the reaction on it's substrate, ever
What is an irreversible inhibitor
200
The name of the class of molecule that is added to plastic to increase their flexibility/make them softer (more of this = more flexibility/softer)
What is a plasticizer
300
A monosaccharide that has five carbons in it and an aldehyde as its carbonyl group (name)
What is an aldopentose
300
a micelle type molecule that is used to transport various lipids through the body, which is composed both of amphipathic lipids and proteins
What is a lipoprotein
300
The structural level that is formed via hydrogen bonding between the 'constant' amine and carboxy groups of amino acids
What is secondary structure
300
A molecule that binds to the active site of an enzyme, making it so that the native substrate cannot bind. The molecule can eventually dissociate from the active site.
What is a competitive, reversible inhibitor
300
The name of the molecule that is cleaved off of canola oil when making biodiesel, it contains 3 carbon and 3 OH groups
What is glycerin (or glycerol)
400
The addition of glycans to the outside of proteins that change the structure and function of the protein
What is glycosylation
400
a molecule that contains a steroid base and is used in the cell membrane of animal cells
What is cholesterol
400
The amino acid that has both a phenyl group and an alcohol group in it's R group.
What is tyrosine
400
A metal ion or a non-amino acid based compound that must be present in the structure of a enzyme for the enzyme to function correctly
What is a cofactor
400
The volume of water you need to add to a dilution of BSA in order to make a final volume of 2 mL of the diluted solution with a concentration of 3 microg/mL BSA from an original stock solution that had a concentration of 10 microg/mL BSA
What is 1.4 mL of water
500
A monoclonal antibody drug (biopharmaceutical) that is used to treat breast cancer that requires proper glycosylation in order to be effective
What is Herceptin
500
The theory that cell membranes are not static, but that the lipids they are made of are constantly moving laterally at a quick rate, and occasionally undergoing rotational movement as well, and that the the cell membrane is composed of a collection of lipids and proteins (and sometimes other molecules such as glycans).
What is the fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane
500
The weakest of the attractive forces.
What is dispersion
500
A molecule that covalently bonds to the serine residue of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase
What is sarin
500
A blood type in which the person has the Rhesus protein present on their red blood cells, and has the following glycan sequence on the outside of their red blood cells also: fucose-galactose-N-acetylglucosamine-galactose-N-acetylgalactosamine
What is O+
