100
A highly branched polymer of glucose used for storage of sugar in animals.

100
A lipid not based on fatty acids and the basis of many hormones.

100
A carbon-carbon bond that could have more hydrogens added
What is unsaturated?
200
When two amino acids are joined, the resulting bond is known as this
What is a peptide bond (or "amide")?
200
when two or more polypeptides come together to form a protein.
What is quaternary structure?
200
A polymer of glucose used to provide structure strength in plants.

200
A long chain hydrocarbon with an acid at the end
What is a fatty acid?
200
Fats that are solid at room temperature tend to have these
What are saturated fatty acids? (could accept trans double bonds)
300
A "glycosidic bond" results when two of these are joined.
What are sugars?
300
The sequence of amino acid residues that comprise a polypeptide.

The link between a fatty acid and glycerol
What is an ester? (fatty ester)
400
Sometimes described as "pleated," these are made of strands of polypeptide that link together in parallel or anti-parallel formation by hydrogen bonds
What are beta sheets.
400
Of the two enzymes: alpha glucosidase and beta glucosidase, the one that can digest cellulose (you might be able to figure it out if you think about it).
What is beta glycosidase.
400
The major component of a lipid bilayer
What is a phospholipid?
400
An atom of carbon that has four unique things connected to it, and therefore can exist in two mirror forms
What is a chiral carbon?
500
non-covalent interaction that hold together many structures.
What are hydrogen bonds? (accept hydrophobic interactions or dispersion forces)
500
Mediated by the "R" side chains, it gives a single polypeptide its 3-D fold.

500
The difference in mass between the linear form of glucose and the cyclic form.

500
A form of double bond normally not found in fatty acids in nature

500
a helix with a hydrophobic face and a hydrophilic face
What is an amphipathic helix?
