Answer 0

Functional groups

Question 1

Carbon containing compounds

Answer 1

Organic compound

Question 2

(OH) helps in linking things together or making polymers

Answer 2

Hydroxyl

Question 3

Has some effect on acids and bases. The pH of a solution. Forming bonds by adding hydrogen makes it basic, removing hydrogen makes it more acidic.

Question 4

Contains nitrogen. The building blocks of protein

Answer 4

Amine

Question 5

Answer 5

Carbonyl

Question 6

Found in systine. These cause things to bend, such as curly hair.

Answer 6

Sulfhydryl

Question 7

Phosphate groups are polar, making it hydrophilic. Phosphate functional groups make the heads of phospholipids hydrophilic, and the tails more hydrophobic.

Answer 7

Phosphate.

Question 8

Can help to break down proteins. When we want to tag something with a protein, we can use it.

Answer 8

Menthyl

Question 9
