Q

Secondary structure

A

when the chain starts to coil or fold
The 2 shapes it can fold into are:
-Aphla Helix(spring)
-beta pleated sheet (folded paper)
-held together by hydrogen bonds

Q

Tertiary Structure

A

when it becomes a 3D shape because the R groups on the amino acids fold and connect together by hydrogen bonds, covalent bonds, and ionic bonds

16
Q

Hydrophillic

A

Polar (made up of lots of Oxygens, Sulfuers, and Nitrogens ) and folds towards the outside of a protein structure

17
Q

Hydrophobic

A

Non-polar (made up of Hydrogen and Carbon) and folds towards the inside of a protein structure

18
Q

what does Saturated fat looks like?

A

Looks like a straight line of a bunch of carbon in the middle that is surrounded by lots of Hydrogen

19
Q

what does unsaturated fat looks like?

A

Looks similar to saturated but at least has one double bond leading to the chain looking slanted at the end
