1
Q
Carbohydrates (Polysaccharides) Subgroups
A
- Starch
- Glucose (A and B)
- Cellulose
- Chitin
2
Q
Lipids Subgroups
A
- Fats
- Phospholipids
- Steroids (cholesterol)
3
Q
4 Levels of Protein Structure
A
- Primary- Unique sequence of amino acids
- Secondary- Coils + folds in polypeptide chain
- Tertiary- Determined by interactions among various side chains (R Groups)
- Quarternary- Protein consists of multiple polypeptide chains
4
Q
Nucleic Acids Subgroup
A
- DNA
- RNA
5
Q
Components of Nucleotides
A
- Phosphate
- Nitrogenous base
- Pentose sugar
6
Q
Monosaccharides are classified as:
A
- Location of carbonyl group (Aldoses or Ketoses)
- Number of carbon in carbon skeleton
7
Q
Primary Structure
A
- Sequence of amino acids linked together in polypeptide chain
- Determines shape of protein
8
Q
Secondary Structure
A
- Pattern of folding between polypeptide chain (a helix/ B pleated sheet)
- Sequence of aminos linked together by hydrogen bonds
9
Q
Tertiary
A
- 3D folding of protein/ how it folds across itself
- Van Der Waals/ionic bonds, nonpolar side of chain stick together
10
Q
Quarternary
A
- Arrangement of multiple polypeptide chains within a protein
11
Q
mRNA
A
- Messenger RNA
- Starts at nucleus moves to ribosome
- Func: Makes copy of DNA + delivers code to ribosome
12
Q
tRNA
A
- Transfer RNA
- Stored in cytoplasm
- Func: Transfer amino acids from cytoplasm to ribosome
13
Q
rRNA
A
- Ribosomal RNA
- Func: Linking amino acids together
- Forms ribosome
14
Q
Ribosome Function
A
Link amino acids together due to codons to form polypeptide chains.
15
Q
Codons
A
- Sequence of 3 nucleotides
- Found in mRNA
