Unit 1
AP Biology Unit 1 Vocabulary-Sedano
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Adhesion | the clinging of one substance to another, such as water to plant cell walls by means if hydrogen bonds |
| Cohesion | the clinging of water molecules via hydrogen bonds(Water connected to Water) |
| Hydrogen Bond | weak bond in which a hydrogen from one water molecule and an oxygen from another bond together |
| Polar | in a molecule each end has different charge like with magnets |
| Surface Tension | strength of the surface of a liquid before it break(Hydrogen bonds give water high surface tension) |
| Atom | what makes chemical elements(basis for everything) |
| Essential Element | Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Sulfur, and phosphorous |
| Macromolecule | carbohydrates, protein, and nucleic acids |
| Cleavege | splitting |
| Dehydration Synthesis | losing a hydrogen when making a polymer bond |
| Hydrolysis | add water to break apart a polypeptide |
| Monomer | the building blocks of polymers |
| Amino Acid | makes up proteins, monomer of polypeptides |
| Amino Terminus | the amino end of a polypetide |
| Carbohydrates | a sugar polymer made up of Monosaccharides monomers |
| Carboxyl Terminus | the carboxyl end of a polypeptide |
| Deoxyribonucleic Acid | double stranded helix with genetic information |
| Deoxyribose | sugar in DNA |
| Hydrophilic | being attracted to water (having affinity for water) |
| Hydrophobic | having little attraction for water (having no affinity for water) |
| Lipid | made up of fatty acids |
| Nitrogenous Base | pyrimidine and purines |
| Nucleic Acid | many nucleotide monomers |
| Nucleotide | monomers that bond to form nucleic acids |
| Phosphate | connector in polnucleotides |
| Phospholipids | make up cell membrane and are made of two fatty acids with glycerol uniting them |
| Polymer | long molecule of many monomers |
| Protein | molecule consisting of polypeptides that fold and coil into a specific 3 dimensional structure(POLYMER) |
| R Group | the center of an amino acid(carbon atom) |
| Ribonucleic Acid | made up of nucleotide monomers, ribose sugar, and nitrogenous bases, protein synthesis, gene regulation, and genome of some viruses |
| Ribose | sugar in RNA |
| Saturated Fat | many hydrogen atoms in structure saturated |
| Unsaturated Fats | less hydrogen atoms thanks to double bonds |
| 3' | carbon sticking out 3 |
| 5' | carbon sticking out 5 |
| Alpha Hex | Part of the DNA helix and holds backbone |
| Anitparallel-In regards to DNA | when 5'carbon and 3'outside carbon run in opposite(Double Helix) |
| Beta-Sheet | a secondary structure of a protein, 2 strands of polypeptide are side by side??????? |
| Covalent Bond | strong chemical bond in which 2 atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons |
| Double Helix | two strands spiraling on an imaginary axis |
| Peptide | Compound containing 2 or more amino acids |
| Polypeptide | polymer of amino acids peptide bonds used over and over |
| Primary Structure | linked series of amino acids with a unique sequence |
| Secondary Structure | repetitive coiling or folding of polypeptide backbone of a protein due to hydrogen bonding |
| Subunit | a single protein molecule |
| Synthesis | creation of something |
| Tertiary Structure | shape of a protein molecule due to reactions of amino acid side chains, including hydrophobic interactions, ionic bonds, and hydrogen bonds |
| Sugar-Phosphate Backbone | connects sugars in DNA and RNA |
