Monomers and Polymers (1) Flashcards
What are monomers?
smaller units that join together to form larger molecules
What are 3 examples of monosaccharides?
glucose, fructose, galactose
What are 2 similarities of glucose, fructose and galactose?
monosaccharides
same chemical formula (C6 H12 O6)
What are polymers?
molecules formed when many monomers join together
What are 3 examples of monomers?
monosaccharides
amino acids
nucleotides
What are 3 examples of polymers?
polysaccharides
proteins
DNA/RNA
What is a null hypothesis?
states there is no significant difference between two variables
What are the 3 types of stat test?
1) chi-squared
2) spearman rank correlation
3) student T test
What is a chi-squared used for?
used to compare obtained frequency over expected frequency to determine whether or not there is a significant difference
What is the Spearman Rank Correlation used for?
used when looking to assess degree of association between different measurements from the same sample
What is the Student T test for?
used when looking at the difference between 2 means of measurement
