This is the covalent bond that holds two monosaccharides together.
What is a glycosidic bond
These are the three functional groups of an amino acid.
What are an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a R chain
These are the three functional groups of an amino acid.
What are a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
The smallest unit of matter that can carry out all the processes of life.
What is a cell
All cell membranes are composed of these in a bi-layer.
What are phospolipids
This carb is also referred to as table sugar
What is sucrose
When we break down proteins into amino acids during digestion, this type of reactions happens.
What is hydrolysis
This is the bond that holds nitrogenous bases together in the DNA double helix.
What is a hydrogen bond
This type of bond is characterized by sharing electrons and being intramolecular.
What is a covalent bond
This is the type of bond found in fats that are liquid at room temperature
What is a double bond
This is the ratio on carbons to hydrogens to oxygens commonly found in carbohydrates
What is (C1H2O1)n
This is the covalent bond that holds multiple amino acids together
What is a peptide bond
This is the covalent bond that holds each nucleotide together in the sugar-phosphate backbone
What is a phosphodiester bond
This is the property of water that allows water to flow through plants against gravity
What is capillary action (caused by cohesion)
This is the type of bond found in a plant fat that has been chemically changed in order to force it to be solid at room temperature
What is a double bond
This is the sugar storage polysaccharide found in animals
What is glycogen
This is the type of R side chain that will fold into the inside of the protein structure

What is quaternary structure
What is the specific name of the Nucleic Acid that reads a codon and adds an amino acid to a polypeptide chain
What is tRNA
This is the type of intramolecular bond where electrons are not shared equally
What is a polar covalent bond
