| Amino acids have an amino group on one end and a carboxyl group on the other. When joined together, the amino group can bind with ___, forming a dipeptide through dehydration synthesis. | a carboxyl group from another amino acid |
| DNA is ___ stranded, where the sides run in opposite directions. | double |
| In DNA, Adenine-Thymine base pairs denature more easily than Guanine-Cytosine base pairs, since they use ___ hydrogen bonds. | less |
| Predator species are dependent on their prey. If prey populations decrease, the predator populations will ___. | decrease |
