Chemical structure and function
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Nonpolar bonds | electrons are shared equally between two atoms |
| polar covalent bonds | one atom has greater electronegativity than the other (unequal) |
| ionic bonds | more electronegative atom steals electron away from less electronegative. |
| Functional groups | attach to carbon : -OH, -COOH, <CO, -NH2, -PO3, -SH |
| saturated fatty acids | have no double bonds between carbon, are solid at room temp. |
| Secondary Structure of protein | refers to shape that results from hydrogen bonding. Can be alpha helix or beta pleated sheet. |
| Nucleotides | have a nitrogenous base, pentose and phosphate group |
