cis and trans isomers
differ between spatial arrangements due to flexibility of double bonds
hyrdrolysis
splits into two or more smaller molecules ang gains parts of water on broken ends
cause of sickle cell anemia
point mutation of a single nucleotide in the dna sequence of the glob in protein of hemoglobin
backbone of macromolecules of life
carbon atom
diff between compound and molecule
compound 2 elements/molecule 2 atoms
protein made of..
chains of amino acid
molecule of simple sugars
monsaccharide
macromolecule associated with dna and rna
nucleic acids
fatty acids are a component of what macromolecule
lipids
chemical bond stabilizes 3 dimensional shapes of nucleic genes and proteins
hydrogen bond
what type of chem bond stabilizes crystals of table salt
ionic bond
how are ions formed
gain or lose electron
what makes amino acids diff
r group
what is a peptide bond
chemical bond that forms between carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amine group of another amino acid. dehydration and synthesis
primary sequence of protein
peptide bond joins amino acid in a polypeptide
what structure with alpha helix and beta
secondary
what forms the quaternary structure of a protein
interactions between two or more folded polypeptides
why does heating up protein such as enzyme cause it to lose function
loses shape
why cant you reverse cook an egg
denaturing protein is not reversible
components of nucleotides
guanine, thymine, aedine, cytosine (GACT)
where is most dna found in a cell?
nucleus
what is genetics
segments of dna found on a chromosome
why do charged molecules have difficulty crossing a phospol and bilayer
too polar
whats inside a phospholipid bilayer allows proteions to move laterally
phospholipid molecule are not covalent bond to each other
