Bond
Bond
This type of bond is formed when one atom gives up an electron and another atom gains an electron, creating oppositely charged ions that are attracted to one another
What is an ionic bond?
These four macromolecules are important to life.
What are carbohydrates (saccharides), lipids (fats), proteins (groups of amino acids known as a polypeptide), and nucleic acids (molecules involved in the passing of traits from one generation to the next)?
The ability of water to defy gravity.
What is capillary action?
Carbohydrates are also known by this/these other name(s).
What is a saccharide? Mono- (glucose/fructose), di- (sucrose), and poly-(starch).
This type of bond holds DNA’s double helix together.
What is a hydrogen bond?
This type of bond is formed when one atom shares electrons with another atom, like in a water molecule.
What is a covalent bond?
The difference between hydrophobic and hydrophilic.
Hydrophobic are substances that tend to repel water while hydrophilic tends to be attracted to water.
This is the thin “skin” on the surface of a group of water molecules.
What is surface tension?
Carbohydrate molecules include carbon and this ratio of hydrogen to oxygen
What is 2:1 (twice as many hydrogen as oxygen)?
The names of the nucleotide base pairs in DNA.
What is Adenine to Thymine (A - T) and Cytosine to Guanine (C - G)?
The weak bonds that involve the interaction of a hydrogen atom in one molecule with an oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine atom in another molecule.
What are hydrogen bonds?
A property in which the molecules of a substance are attracted to other similar substances.
What is adhesive?
The arrangement of molecules, when oxygen atoms have a partial negative charge and hydrogen a partial positive charge, with positive sides interacting with another molecule’s negative side.
What is polarity?
Lipids can be further divided into these categories.
What is saturated fat and unsaturated fat.
If a strand of DNA has the sequence A - G - C - T - A - C - C, the sequence on the strand on the opposite side of the DNA would have this.
What is T - C - G - A - T - G - G?
When two monosaccharides are bonded together, it forms a disaccharide and water, known as this type of reaction.
What is a dehydration reaction?
The difference between replication and transcription.
Replication is the process by which DNA is copied to produce two duplicate double helixes and transcription is the process by which DNA is used to produce mRNA.
The amount of energy required to change a substance’s temperature.
What is heat capacity?
A molecule that has an amino group, an acid group, and a side chain belongs to this group of biological molecules.
What is an amino acid?
The building of mRNA based on the DNA sequence, requiring nucleotide bases in RNA to attach to the bases on DNA, is called this.
What is transcription?
The bond that links two amino acids together
What is a peptide bond?
Explain the relationship of atom to element to molecule to compound.
An atom is the smallest unit of all matter composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. An element is composed of a unique type of atom. A molecule is a group of atoms (can be same or different) that form a unit with specific chemical properties. And a compound is a substance that contains 2+ atoms from different types of elements held together with chemical bonds.
Because water is polar, it does this to other polar substances.
What is dissolve them.
This explains the primary structure of a protein.
What is the order in which its amino acids are linked together.
When the sequence of mRNA is changed into amino acids, at a ribosome, it is called this.
What is translation?
