26
saturated fat
single bonds between carbons | animals
27
unsaturated
one or more double carbon bonds | plants
28
kinks make these fats liquid at room temp
unsaturated
29
tight bond makes these fats solid at room temp
saturated

40
tranport
hemoglobin
41
transport carbon dioxide
antibodies
42
regulation
hormones
43
amino group carboxyl group functional group "r"
small organic molecules that are composed of 3 things
44
properties of amino acids determined by the
R group
45
20 amino acids
how many aminos are there
46
Peptide Bond
Covalent Bond that links amino groups of one AA w/ carboxyl group of the next through dehydration synthesis.
47
Protein synthesis
peptide bonds continue to spilit into dipeptire and polypeptide
48
Primary structrue
actual sequence of AA | unique for all proteins
49
structure determines
function
50
secondary
folding that occurs when certain AA are placed next to each other between H bonds
51
tertiary AA
when secondary collapse in on each otehr and create a massive ball folding due to inteactons between R groups
52
Quaternary AA
more than one polypeptide chain
53
If AA structure is off it
sickle blood sells, throws off hemoglobin | does not transport oxy as well
54
Disrupts 3D AA shape Breaks weak bonds Causes pH and temp change
Protein denautration
