Q

steroids

A

manufactured as sterols, signaling molecules, hormones estradiol and testosterone

17
Q

lipids for structure

A

essential to the animal cell membrane, found as cholesterol

18
Q

phospholipids

A

make up the cell membrane, the polar head is hydrophilic, nonpolar tail is hydrophobic, create a phospholipid bilayer (2 layers make one membrane)

19
Q

lipid test

A

brown paper bag and sudan red test

20
Q

monomers of proteins?

A

amino acids - hormone or chemical messengers, can be polar or nonpolar

21
Q

amino acid structure

A

amino group, carboxyl group

22
Q

what links amino acids together?

A

peptide bonds, formed by dehydration synthesis between carbon and nitrogen

23
Q

functions of proteins

A

control the rate of chemical reactions and regulate cell processes, form cellular structures, transport substances in and out of the cell, fight disease

24
primary structure of protein
linked amino acids
25
secondary structure of protein
folding or coiling of the peptide chain
26
tertiary structure of proteins
complete 3 dimensional structure of the protein
27
