Water
Water is known as a ________ _________ molecule.
What is polar covalent?
These are the monomers of proteins.
What are amino acids?
These are the monomers of lipids.
What are glycerol and fatty acid?
These are the monomers of carbs.
What are monosachharides?
These are the monomers of nucleic acids.
What are nucleotides?
This happens when a partially positive hydrogen atom in one polar covalent molecule will be attracted to an electronegative atom in another polar covalent molecule
What is hydrogen bonding?
Structure determines ____________.
What is function?
These are lipids with either double bonds or single bonds.
What are unsaturated and saturated fats?
Cellulose and chitin.
What are polysaccharides found in plant cell walls and arthropods?
This is what DNA and RNA stand for.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid?
This is why large bodies of water can stabilize temperatures.
What is a high specific heat?
H2O resists changes in temperature. Heat must be absorbed to break hydrogen bonds, but heat is released when hydrogen bonds form, solarge bodies of water stay cooler in warmer summer temps and warmer on cooler winter temps. This stabilizes the water temp but also the surrounding area climate.
These are the elements involved in protein.
What is C, H, O, N, S
These are the elements that make up lipids.
What are C, H, O
These are the elements that make up carbs.
What are C, H, O
These are the elements that make up nucleic acids.
What are C, H, O, N, P
This is the reason why water/ nutrients are able to move upward against gravity in the roots and stems of plants/ trees?
What is adhesion/ cohesion/ cap action?
This is the general structure of proteins.
What is an amino group, a carboxyl group and a unique R- side chain?
These are a major component of cell membranes. They have two fatty acids attached to a glycerol and a phosphate. Their "tails" are hydrophobic and their "head" is hydrophilic.
What are phospholipids? (or phospholipid bilayer)
An example of a disaccharide.
What is sucrose?
This is the main difference between DNA and RNA.
What is single stranded versus double stranded?
List and briefly describe each of the 7 properties of water.
Adhesion
Cohesion
Cap Action
Temp regulation
Evap cooling
Floating ice
Solvent
These are the 5 major types of proteins.
What are antibodies, enzymes, messengers, structural and storage.
These are lipids with four fused rings such as prednisone and cholesterol and synthetic steroids.
What are steroids?
This is the general structure (including type of bond) of carbs.
What are a carbonyl group and many hydroxyl groups bonded by covalent bonds.
These are the purines and the pyrimidines and what they pair with.
Purines: A and G
Pyrimidines: T and C and U (RNA only)
A pairs with T
G pairs with C
