3.2 and 3.3 study guide Flashcards
What’s the momomer and polymer of protiens?
Amino acids and polypeptides
What’s the momomer and polymer of Lipids ?
Fatty acids and triglycerides
What do infrastructure protein’s do?
supporting and moving cells
What do Hormones do?
Carry molecular messages through blood
Why and how would the structure and function of a protein change if a hydrophobic amino acid was substituted for a hydrophilic one?
In a protein, the replacement of a hydrophobic amino acid with a hydrophilic one due to a mutation can disrupt the protein’s structure and function. The new amino acid may not form the same interactions as the original, leading to changes in the protein’s shape.
What’s the momomer and polymer of Carbohrydates ?
Monosaccharides and Polysaccarhides
What’s the momomer and polymer of Nucleic Acids?
Nucleotides and Polynucleotides
How are tertiary structures formed by interactions between Cysteine side chains.
through a reaction involving their sulfhydryl groups
What is the functions of Carbohydrates?
To store energy
What is the functions of Lipids?
They have waterproof membranes
