Polar covalent bond

24
Q

This compound usually lack carbon, are structurally simple, an are held together by ionic or covalent bonds

The two compounds are exceptions since they contain carbon: Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Proteins
46
Why are the building blocks of proteins?
Amino acids
47
What does the unit of two or more amino acids produce?
Peptide
48
What is the molecule of two amino acids combined called?
Dipeptide

51
What are the three important properties of an enzyme?
Specificity Efficiency Control
52

Denaturation
53
What are the two kinds of nucleic acids?
``` Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) Ribonucleic acid (RNA) ```
54
This phase is in a series of reactions that do not require Oxygen, Glucose is partially broken down by a series of catabolic reactions into pyruvic acid. Each glucose molecule that is converted into a pyruvic acids molecule yields two molecules of ATP
Anaerobic phase
55
This phase is in the presence of Oxygen, glucose is completely broken down into carbon dioxide an water. These reactions generate heat and 36 or 38 ATP molecules
Aerobic phase
