Carbohydrates
The monomer of carbs.
What are monosaccharides?
The bond that links amino acids.
What are peptide bonds?
The two types of nucleic acids.
What are DNA and RNA?
The fatty acid "tail" is _1_ and the phosphate "head" is _2_(fill in the blanks).
What is 1. hydrophobic and 2. hydrophilic?
Lipids found in the cell membrane.
What are phospholipids?
The major storage form of glucose in animals.
What is glycogen?
The number of amino acids that make up proteins.
What is twenty?
The monomers of nucleic acids.
What are nucleotides?
The two main monomers of lipids.
What are fatty acids and glycerol?
The macromolecule that does not contain polymers.
What are lipids?
The main functions of carbs (at least one).
What is storing sugar for the body, giving energy, and structure?
The type of protein that is like a catalyst, speeding up chemical reactions.
What are enzymes?
The nucleotide structure (100 points per part).
What are the phosphate group, a pentose sugar, and a nitrogenous base?
The main functions of lipids (at least one).
What are storing large amounts of energy, insulation, protecting organs, and structure?
Chains of repeating molecules where the structures are similar, if not identical.
What are polymers?
A major component of plant cell walls.
What is cellulose?
The four levels of proteins structure.
What are the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures?
The charge that the phosphate group has.
What is a negative charge?
The four main polymers of lipids (100 points per polymer).
What are fats, waxes, steroids, and phospholipids?
When a polymer chain breaks due to a water molecule forming.
What is a hydrolysis reaction?
The covalent bond between two monomers by a dehydration reaction.
What is glycosidic linkage?
The functions of proteins (at least three).
What are repair and maintenance, energy, transport/storage, structure, hormones, enzymes, and antibodies?
The covalent bonds that join together adjacent nucleotides.
What are phosphodiester bonds?
The covalent bond formed between glycerol and fatty acid molecules.
What is an ester bond?
Long polymer chains that form from losing a water molecule
What is a condensation reaction or dehydration synthesis?
