3
The repeating units of a polymer that serve as
the individual building blocks.
4
Monomers
5
The individual units of a polymer are connected
by this reaction.
6
Dehydration or Condensation Reaction
7
Polymers are disassembled by this reaction or the
addition of water.
8
Hydrolysis
9
The polymer usually found to contain the element
Nitrogen.
10
Proteins
11
During the dehydration reaction, this is given
off.
12
Water (H2O)
13
The monomers of carbohydrates.
14
monosaccharides
15
C6H12O6
16
Glucose
17
The simplest carbohydrates.
18
sugars
19
The type of bond that forms by dehydration in
carbohydrates.
20
Glycosidic linkage
21
The three storage polysaccharides.
22
Starch, Glycogen, Cellulose
23
The central carbon of an amino acid.
24

? carbon
25
The side chain of an amino acid.
26
R group
27
These amino acids contain the element sulfur.
28
cysteine methionine
29
Amino acids are joined together by dehydration
reactions forming this bond.
30
Peptide bond
31
Which amino acid lacks an asymmetric carbon?
32
glycine
33
The unique sequence of amino acids in a protein.
34
Primary Structure
35
A slight change in this structure of a protein
can lead to mutations like sickle-celled
hemoglobin.
36
Primary structure
37
? Helix or ? pleated sheet
38
Secondary structure
39
Formed when two cysteine amino acids are brought
in close together by the folding of a protein.
40
Disulfide bridge
41
Clustering of hydrophobic R groups away from
water.
42
Hydrophobic interactions and van der Waals
interactions
43
The trait that is shared by all lipids.
44
They have little or no affinity for water.
45
A long carbon chain with a carboxyl group at one
end.
46
Fatty acid
47
A fat is constructed of two kinds of smaller
molecules
48
Glycerol and fatty acids
49
A fat that has double bonds along its carbon
chains.
50
unsaturated
51
The compound that has a phosphate and two fatty
acid chains attached to the glycerol molecule.
52
phospholipid
53
The process by which DNA copies itself.
54
replication
55
Pyrimidines
56
Cytosine, thymine, uracil
57
purines
58
Adenine guanine
59
In 1951, the structure of DNA was found to be
this.
60
Double helix
61
The difference between deoxyribose and ribose
62
An oxygen atom located on carbon 2 of deoxyribose.
