Vocabulary Terminology for Chapter 5 in Friendly Biology

        Help!  

Question or Term
Answer or Definition
Like carbohydrates and lipids, proteins consist of what 3 elements   Carbon, Hydrogen, & Oxygen  
🗑
Unlike carbohydrates and lipids, proteins also always contain 1 other element, which is   Nitrogen, (sometimes Sulfur & other elements)  
🗑
Proteins are built from smaller components or substances called   amino acids  
🗑
Like Lipids, proteins consist of 2 main portions called   Common part and the R-group  
🗑
For each amino acid, the common part is always   the same  
🗑
For each amino acid, the R-group portion is   what varies, changes, or is different making it unique  
🗑
The number of amino acids we know about   50  
🗑
The number of amino acids required by humans to live   20  
🗑
Of the amino acids needed for humans to live, how many are unable to be made or created and therefore can only be obtained from our diets   8  
🗑
The amino acids which we can only obtain through our diet or food are   Luecine, Threonine, Valine, Tryptophan, Lysine, Methionine, and Isoleucine --Memory Aid-- LTVTLMI stands for Luckily, The Vital Proteins Must be Ingested.  
🗑
De   to remove  
🗑
Hydrate   water  
🗑
Dehydrate   removal of water  
🗑
Syntheses   to make or produce  
🗑
Dehydration Syntheses   the make through the removal of water  
🗑
Hydro   water  
🗑
Lysis   to cut or take apart  
🗑
Hydrolysis   cutting or taking apart using the addition of water  
🗑
When two amino acids are linked together what is formed is known as   A peptide (Bond is called Peptide Bond)  
🗑
The process of linking amino acids into Peptides is known as   Dehydration Syntheses  
🗑
When multiple amino acids are linking together what is formed is known as   a polypeptide  
🗑
The component that is responsible for dismantling proteins or combining amino acids into proteins is   Enzymes or specifically Proteases, Peptidases  
🗑
The process of breaking down proteins is known as   Hydrolysis  
🗑
The primary role or purpose of proteins in living things is   provide a source of building materials for structure  
🗑
A common protein found in egg whites and our blood, which is responsible for maintaining appropriate amount of water in our bodies is known as   Albumin  
🗑
A protein found in our blood that is responsible for cot formation is known as   Fibrin  
🗑
Very important group of proteins that work to fight off diseases encountered by living things are known as   immunoglobulins (immuno = immune system & globulin = protein)  
🗑
In mammals, the first milk produced by the mother is full of immunoglobulins and is known as   colostrum  
🗑


   

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.
