water-"loving"
water-"fearing"
two or more polypeptide chains coming together and bonding with each other
to permanently change the 3 dimensional structure of a protein
the subunit that makes up nucleic acids - 4 types in DNA are A C G T
the smallest unit of matter that cannot normally be broken into smaller particles
the process of breaking down large fat droplets into smaller fat droplets
the loose association of amino acids in a polypeptide chain with each other,
usually through H-bonds. e.g. alpha helix, beta pleated sheet
the linear sequence of amino acids in a protein, which ultimately determines its
shape
the building block of protein -- there are 20 different kinds normally found in
nature
the bond that forms between two amino acids joined by dehydration synthesis
the 3-D shape of a polypeptide chain due to it folding back on itself and forming
bonds.
creating a bond between two atoms by taking OH from one atom and H from the
other
breaking a bond between two atoms by adding OH to one atom and H to the
other
biological catalysts, composed of protein, that speed up chemical reactions
ATP - the molecule that carries energy in the cell
any molecule with the molecular formula Cn(H2O)n
an important component of cell membranes, has a hydrophilic head, hydrophobic
tail
an enzyme that breaks down maltose to two glucose molecules
an atom or molecule that has either lost or gained electrons
a weak bond due to the attraction between partial charges on hydrogen, oxygen,
and nitrogen atoms
a polymer of glucose, used as a structural component of plant cell walls
a polymer of glucose, used as a storage form for glucose in animals
a polymer of glucose, used as a storage form for glucose in plants
a loss of Hydrogen atoms (or electrons)
a lipid that is an important component of cell membranes and from which steroid
hormones are made
a lipid composed of glycerol joined to 3 fatty acids
a large organic molecule formed from a chain or chains of amino acids
a large molecule made by joining together smaller identical (or similar) molecules
a gain of Hydrogen atoms (or electrons)
a fatty acid whose carbons are all joined to the maximum number of hydrogens
a fatty acid that has a "kink" in it due to a double bond between carbon atoms
a disaccharide consisting of two glucose molecules
a class of molecules that includes neutral fats and steroids
a chemical that resists changes in pH
a 6 carbon sugar that forms a 6-membered ring -- used as energy source by cells
three carbon that joins with fatty acids to produce triglycerides
molecules that store genetic information (e.g. DNA and RNA)
