Protein and N.A.
Questions + Anwsers
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a peptide bond? | A bonds that hold amino acids together |
| What is a protein (Aka a polypeptide)? | A polymer composed of many amino acids |
| What elements make up nucleic acids? | C,H,O,N,P |
| Antibodies protect the body from pathogens. What type of proteins are they considered? | Defense/Protection |
| Each amino acid is different from one to the other due to- | The R-group |
| What elements make up amino acids? | Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Oxygen; also sometimes Sulfur |
| In red blood cells, a protein is called ________ binds to oxygen. | Hemoglobin |
| How many amino acids are there? | 20 |
| What is the function of DNA? | Carries genetic information, and provides the blueprint for making proteins |
| What pentose sugar does DNA use? | Deoxyribose |
| Nucleotides are made up of 3 parts. The 3 parts are called... | A sugar, a phosphate and a nitrogenous base |
| What are the functions of proteins? | Structural support, enzymes, transport of molecules, fighting infections. |
| What is the purpose of enzymes? | Speeding up reactions by lowering the activation energy |
| What do all proteins contain? | Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen (sulfur, Zinc, and magnesium ad well) |
| What is an amino acid? | A monomer |
| What is a protein or a polypeptide? | A polymer |
| What is a peptide? | A chain of amino acids, it is several chains put together |
| What do all amino acids contain? | An amino or a N-group (it contains nitrogen) and they all also contain a carboxyl group also known as a C-group ( it contains carbon) |
| What Identifies it? | The R-group |
| What are amino acids attracted to? | Adjacent amino acids |
| What can proteins function as? | Hormones (proteins hormones tend to difficulty passing the cell membrane) [they have to fit a cellular recepter before they can affect the cell] |
| What are the 4 protein phases? | Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary |
| What is Globular protein structure? | something that look like a sphere |
| What phase are amino acids bonded together in? | Primary |
| What bond is used to hold amino acids together? | A peptide bond |
| What are nucleic acids? | Biomolecules that contain the blueprints for making proteins, they also transmit genetic to the next generation |
| What are Nucleic Acids make up of? | Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen Nitrogen and Phosphorus |
| What are nucleotides? | monomers |
| What are nucleic acids? | Polymers |
| What is the D in DNA stand for? | The 5-carbon sugar deoxyribose, is also used for passing down characteristics to offspring |
| What is the R in RNA stand for? | Ribose |
| What does DNA do? | Remove oxygen for sugar (1 less oxygen than Ribose) can not be passed down to offspring |
| What information does DNA carry down from generation to generation? | Hereditary information |
