Biology Ch. 3 Vocab
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is an organic molecule that contains one Carbon bonded to a carboxyl group molecule, a hydrogen, an amino acid group molecule, and a radical group, and serves as the monomer for protein? | Amino Acids |
| What is a synthetic version of the male hormone testosterone that mimics some of its effects? | Anabolic Steroids |
| What is lipid containing deposits (plaque) build up within the walls of blood vessels, reducing blood flow and increasing risk of heart attack and stroke? | Atherosclerosis |
| What is a large polysaccharide composed of many glucose monomers linked into cable like fibrils that provide support in plant cell walls and is the indigestable dietary fiber? | Cellulose |
| What is a chemical reaction that removes a water molecule and bonds the molecules and monomers | Dehydration Synthesis |
| What is it called when a protein unravels and loses its shape because of a change in temperature, pH, or other enviromental factor? | Denaturation |
| What are double sugars(two monosaccharides joined by dehydration synthesis)? | Disaccharides |
| What are lipids made of triglycerides, most function as energy/storage molecules? | Fats |
| What are the atoms that form the chemically reactive part of an organic molecule and gives it its properties? | Functional Groups |
| What is a complex, extensively branched plysaccharide made up of many glucose monomers, serves as energy/storage molecules on the liver and muscle cells? | Glycogen |
| What are organic molecules that contain only Hydrogen and Carbon? | Hydrocarbons |
| What is the process of converting unsaturated fats to saturated fats by adding hydrogen? | Hydrogenation |
| What is to break apart with water, the opposite of a dehydration synthesis? | Hydrolysis |
| What is "water loving" and mixes with water? | Hydrophilic |
| What are molecules called that do not mix or dissolve in water | Hydrophobic |
| What are molecules that have the same molecular formula but different structures? | Isomers |
| What are organic compounds that consist mainly of Carbon and Hydrogen atoms linked by nonpolar, covalent bonds? | Lipids |
| What is a giant molecule in a living organism? | Macromolecule |
| What are chemical subunits that serve as a building block of polymers? | Monomers |
| What are simple sugars? | Monosaccharides |
| What is the study of organic compounds? | Organic Chemistry |
| What are compounds that contain carbon? | Organic Compounds |
| What is the covalent bond between two amino acid units in a polypeptide, formed by dehydration synthesis? | Peptide Bond |
| What are large molecules made by stringing together many smaller molecules, called monomers? | Polymers |
| What is a chain of amino acids formed by peptide bonds? | Polypeptide |
| What are complex carbohydrates? | Polysaccharides |
| What is proteins' unique amino acid sequence called? | Primary Structure |
