Lipids
This is an example of a substance made of lipids.
What are waxes, fats, and oils?
This is a function of glucose in living things.
What is to provide energy?
This monomer of nucleic acids is made of a base, a sugar, and a phosphate group.
What is a nucleotide?
What type of reaction forms a peptide bond between two amino acids?
What is condensation?
The level of structure forms due to the interactions between R groups.
What is a tertiary structure?
This type of lipid has a long hydrocarbon tail, a carboxyl group head, and no double bonds in the hydrocarbon tail.
What is a saturated fatty acid?
Alpha and beta glucose are examples of these.
What are isomers?
This is the base that is present in RNA but absent in DNA.
What is uracil?
All amino acids have a central carbon that is bonded to hydrogen, and R group, a carboxyl, and this functional group.
What is amine?
The sequence of amino acids in a protein is this level of structure.
What is primary structure?
This type of reaction joins the subunits to make a triglyceride.
What is condensation?
What is glucose?
These two molecules make up the backbone of DNA.
What are deoxyribose sugar and phosphate?
These elements are bonded together in the main polypeptide chain in a peptide bond.
What are carbon and nitrogen?
This level of structure refers to the interactions between separate polypeptide strands to make a larger protein.
What is quaternary structure?
This type of lipid is the main molecule found in the lipid bilayer of cells.
What is a phospholipid?
This polysaccharide has a linear structure without coils and makes up plant cell walls.
What is cellulose?
This monomer of a nucleic acid is made of a base and a sugar.
What is a nucleoside?
These amino acids cannot be made by the body.
What are essential amino acids?
What is a beta-pleated sheet?
These are the subunits of a phospholipid.
What are phosphate, glycerol, and two fatty acids?
This polysaccharide is unbranched but has a coiled structure.
What is amylose?
These two scientists discovered the structure of DNA by making models.
Who are Watson and Crick?
This part of amino acids is the main determinant of how a protein folds into its final structure.
What are R groups?
Hydrogen bonds between the backbones of every fourth amino acid in a polypeptide chain produce this structure.
What is an alpha helix?
