Q

glycogen

A

stores excess sugar

21
Q

cellose

A

forms tough walls that enclose plant cells

22
Q

lipids

A

diverse compounds grouped together because they mix poorly with water. mainly carbon and hydrogen atoms linked by no polar covalent bonds.
three categories: fats, oils, and waxes

23
Q

fat

A

large lipid made from two kinds of smaller molecules; glycerol and fatty acids. used for energy storage

24
unsaturated
have less than the max number of hydrogens (at least one carbon-carbon double bond)
25
saturated
each carbon atom in a lipids fatty acid chain is joined to another carbon atom by a single bond
26
polyunsaturated
more than one double bond
27
steroids
lipids who's carbon skeleton contains four fused rings
28
protein
a polymer constructed from amino acids monomers, they form structures (like hair and muscles), defend against diseases (antibodies), transport substances to and from cells, and control rate of reactions and regulate cell processes
29
amino acids
amino group and a carboxyl group
30
peptide bond
covalent linkage that joins amino acids together in a dehydration reaction that links the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of the next amino acid as a water molecule is removed
31
polypeptide
chain of amino acids formed by peptide bonds
32
four main categories of macromoleces
proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids
33
the characteristic that all lipids have in common is
none dissolves in water
34
a flowers color is determined by the
genetic instructions in its nucleic acids
35
in some places a protein molecule may twist of gold back on itself. this is called (blank) and the coils or folds are held by (blank)
secondary structure....hydrogen bonds
36
a hydrophobic amino acid r group would be found where in a protein?
on the inside of the folded chain, away from water
37
nucleic acid
hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, & phosphorus transmits and stores genetic info two kinds; DNA and RNA
38
nucleotides
monomers that make up nucleic acids | made up of a 5-carbon sugar, phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base
39
first 8 elements (in order)
hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen
40
helium
He 2 electrons
41
lithium
Li 3 total electrons
42
beryllium
Be 4 total electrons
43
boron
B 5 total electrons
44
Carbon
C 6 total electrons
45
nitrogen
N 7 total electrons
46

O 8 total electrons
47
how many amino acids are there?
20
48
what do nucleic acids and proteins have in common?
they are large polymers
49
how does DNA differ from RNA?
DNA is larger, one of the nitrogenous bases is different, they contain different sugars, and DNS consists of two stranded in a double helix
50
hydrogen
H 1 total electron
