Lipids contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions, which lends them to be called this.
What is amphipathic?
200
His experiments discredited the theory of spontaneous generation of microorganisms.
Who is Louis Pasteur?
200
In addition to containing DNA in the nucleoid region, some bacteria also have this.
What is a plasmid?
200
Water molecules are created with these specific types of bonds.
What are polar covalent bonds?
200
The sugar contained in bacterial cell walls.
What is peptidoglycan?
200
This is how fatty acids are connected to glycerol to form triglycerides.
What are ester linkages?
300
Rather than using bovine insulin, diabetics are now administered insulin manufactured using bacteria. In this case, insulin would be considered this.
What is a secondary metabolite?
300
All cells contain these 5 things.
What are cell membrane, cytoplasm, DNA, RNA, and ribosomes.
300
This phenomena occurs when nonpolar substances attempt to avoid polar substances.
What are hydrophobic forces/interactions?
300
This nucleotide pair is stronger (and therefore attributes a higher Tm) than the other because they form three hydrogen bonds with each other.
What is guanine/cytosine?
300
The primary structure of proteins is composed of amino acids held together by these bonds.
What are peptide bonds?
400
The effect that increased wavelength has on the resolving power of a microscope.
What is diminishing the resolution?
400
These organisms are hypothesized to be the first form of life on earth.
What are archaea?
400
Although weak, these intermolecular bonds are crucial to the overall structure of most macromolecules.
What are hydrogen bonds?
400
Alpha 1,4 glycosidic bonds in glucose form these polymers.
What is glycogen or starch (energy storage)?
400
The lowest level of protein structure where a functional protein can exist.
What is tertiary structure?
500
Koch's first postulate suggests that pathogenic microbes exist only in diseased animals and not in healthy animals. This has since been found to not always be true. In these cases, the microbes that can become pathogenic are called this.
What opportunistic pathogens?
500
Whittaker's protista exhibited these characteristics.
What is eukaryotic and unicellular?
500
These interactions behave similarly to hydrogen bonds, although are very temporary and therefore much weaker.
What are Van der Waals forces/interactions?
500
All synthesis of DNA and RNA is performed off of a parent/template DNA strand running in which direction?
What is 3' to 5'?
500
Denaturation of a protein will result in loss of function by reducing it to this.
