Term
Definition
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)   A nucleotide that is essential to cellular respiration.  
🗑
Amino Acid   Contains a carbon bond with four functional groups. One example of an amino acid is glycine  
🗑
Carbohydrate   The molecules composed of carbon hydrogen and oxygen.  
🗑
Cellulose   Makes up the cell wall  
🗑
Chitin   A polysaccharide in which glucose subunits bear a nitrogen-containing group  
🗑
Dehydration Synthesis   A chemical reaction when two molecules are joined by a  
🗑
covalent bond and h2o is withdrawn from the end result.    
🗑
Denatured   To disrupt the second protein sequence while not touching anything else.  
🗑
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)   The genetic code found in the nucleus of a cell that  
🗑
tells all the secrets of life for the organism it is for.    
🗑
Disaccharide   When two monosaccharides are linked  
🗑
Disulfide Bridge   The bonds between sulfur and other cysteines.  
🗑
Enzyme   Proteins that guide almost all the chemical reactions inside of the cells  
🗑
Fat   Lipids that are formed by glycerol  
🗑
Fatty Acid   Long chains of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxylic acid group at one end.  
🗑
Functional Group   Groups of atoms that determine the characteristics and chemical reactivity of the molecules.  
🗑
Glucose   Sugar  
🗑
Glycerol   A three carbon molecule that is used to form fats  
🗑
Glycogen   An energy storage molecule that is most often used in animals.  
🗑
Helix   A spiral shape.  
🗑
Hydrolysis   When something is broken apart by water.  
🗑
Inorganic   Something that does not contain carbon. One example of an inorganic compound is water.  
🗑
Lactose   A form of sugar that is often found in milk or dairy products. Contains Glucose and galactose.  
🗑
Lipid   A fat or fatty substance. Some examples of lipids are fats, oils, and waxes.  
🗑
Maltose   glucose plus glucose.  
🗑
Monomer   individual subunits ( Greek: one part)  
🗑
Monosaccharide   carbohydrates that are consist of just one sugar molecule ( Greek for “single sugar”).  
🗑
Nucleic acid   long chains of similar subunit called nucleotides.  
🗑
Nucleotide   a compound consisting of a nucleoside linked to a phosphate group, have three structures  
🗑
Oil   formed by dehydration synthesis from three fatty acid subunits and one molecule of glycerol.  
🗑
Organic   molecules that have a carbon skeleton and contain some hydrogen atoms.  
🗑
Peptide   a compound consisting of two or more amino acids linked in a chain.  
🗑
Peptide bond   a chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, releasing a molecule of water.  
🗑
Phospholipid   similar to oil, except one of the three fatty acids is replaced by a phosphate group with a short, polar functional group attached to the end.  
🗑
Pleated sheet   polypeptide chains that repeatedly fold back upon themselves, with hydrogen bonds holding adjacent segments of the polypeptide together.  
🗑
Polymer   long chains of monomers.  
🗑
Polysaccharide   a polymer of many monosaccharides.  
🗑
Primary structure   sequence of amino acids that make up the protein.  
🗑
Protein   molecules composed of one or more chains of amino acids.  
🗑
Quaternary structure   individual polypeptides that sometimes linked together, forming a fourth level of protein organization.  
🗑
Ribonucleic acid ( RNA)   copied from the DNA in the nucleus of each cell that are formed by chains of ribose nucleotides.  
🗑
Saturated   contained the greatest possible number of hydrogen atoms  
🗑
Secondary structure   interaction of the hydrogen bond donor and acceptor residues of the repeating peptide unit.  
🗑
Starch   a polysaccharide.  
🗑
Steroid   synthesized from cholesterol, that have a similar, nonpolar molecule structure ( compare the carbon rings).  
🗑
Sucrose   glucose plus fructose , used as an energy storage molecule in sugarcane and sugar beets.  
🗑
Sugar   composed of two monosaccharides.  
🗑
Tertiary Structure   three-dimensional structures that determine that final configuration of the polypeptide.  
🗑
Triglyceride   chemical name given to fat and other in the same structure.  
🗑
Unsaturated   double bonds between some carbons and consequently fewer hydrogens, the fatty acids are said to be _______.  
🗑
Wax   chemically similar to fats, but not as a food source.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
