24
enzymes
catalyze chemical reactions so that we can live
25
monomer of protein
amino acids
26
elements of proteins
CHONS
27
amino acids consist of
a hydrogen atom, a carbonxl group, an amino group, and an R group
28
how many amino acids
20 w/ unique r-groups
29
amino acids bonded
peptide bond (covalent)
30
polymer of protein
polypeptide
31
primary protein structure
amino acids bound in string by peptide bonds
32
secondary protein structure
primary folded into either beta-pleated sheet or alpha helix
33
tertiary protein structure
helix/sheet folded in on itself to create 3d structure. ALL proteins minimally have this
34
quaternary protein structure
2 or more tertiary structures bonded together
35
3 main types of nucleic acids
RNA, DNA, ATP
36
monomer of NA
nucleotides
37
chromosomes
linear form of dna
38
gene
area of DNA that encodes a protein
39
central dogma
flow of genetic info from DNA to RNA to polypeptide
40
elements of NAs
CHONP
41
polymer of nucleic acids
nucleic acids are polymers
42
nucleotides are made of
phosphate group, nitrogenous base, and a 5c sugar
43
nitrogenous base DNA
TCAG
44
nitrogenous base RNA
UCAG
45
phosphodiester bonds
join nucleotides, connects p-group to sugar through dehydration synthesis
