What molecule is released when polysaccharides are formed?
Water through dehydration synthesis
The type of catabolic reactions which requires the addition of water?
Hydrolysis
Provide an example of a polysaccharide that acts as a structural support component
Cellulose
This category of fat makes up cell membranes
Phospholipids
Fat molecules are stored in the body here
Adipose tissue
Types of fat include phospholipids, triglycerides, waxes and this
Steroids
Hydrogenation adds hydrogen and turns it into these types of fats which can clog arteries
Trans fats
Contains less than the max amount of hydrogens and kinks in the chain
Unsaturated
Phospholipids are termed this because they have polar heads and non-polar tails
?
This important sterol is converted to bike salts, vitamin D or sex hormones
?
Humans store glucose in these long polysaccharide chains
?
The subunit of proteins
Amino acids
All amino acids have an individual R group and these two functional groups as a terminus at each end
Amino, carboxyl
A condensation reaction between two amino acids creates this type of bond
Covalent peptide bonds
What level of protein structure describes when amino acids form polypeptide chains
Primary
Two distinct shapes arise in the secondary level of protein structure, what are they?
Alpha helix and beta pleated sheet
In the tertiary level of protein structure, these strong bridges from to create a 3D shape
?
The term that describes a change to the proteins 3D shape so that it is not functional
Denaturation
A nucleotide is made up of three key pieces
Phosphate, sugar, nitrogenous base
The four nitrogenous bases that make up our genetic code
Adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine
A pairs with T
G pairs with C
What is this called?
Complementary base pairing, chargaffs rule
RNA has this unique nitrogenous base to replace thymine
Uracil
