3.3 and 3.2 Flashcards
What is the monomer for Protein?
Amino Acids
What is the monomer for Carbs?
monosaccharides
What is the monomer for Lipids?
Fatty acids
What is the monomer for Nucleic Acids?
Nucleotides
Are carbs a long term or a short term energy source?
Short term
What is the function of proteins?
Help with muscle functions and movement.
What is the function of nucleic acids?
Breaks down polymers into monomers.
What is the smallest level of protein structure?
Primary structure.
Protein structures in order
Primary
secondary
Tertiary
Quaternary
What happens during denaturation?
The protein strands unfold.
What kind of molecule will be folded into the interior of the protein structure?
Hydrophobic
Why and how would the structure and function of a protein change if a hydrophobic amino acid was substituted for a hydrophilic one?
The protein would change by folding in a different way.
If a functional group is negative would it be acidic or basic? Hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Acidic
All molecules with a charge are hydrophilic.
