The repeating units of a
polymer that serve as the
individual building blocks.
Monomers
The individual units of a polymer
are connected by this reaction.
Dehydration or
Condensation
Reaction
Polymers are disassembled by
this reaction or the addition of
water.
Hydrolysis
The polymer usually found to
contain the element Nitrogen.
Proteins
During the dehydration
reaction, this is given off.
Water (H2O)
The monomers of
carbohydrates.
monosaccharides
C6H12O6
Glucose
The simplest carbohydrates.
sugars
The type of bond that
forms by dehydration in
carbohydrates.
Glycosidic
linkage
The three storage
polysaccharides.
Starch, Glycogen,
& Cellulose
The central carbon of an
amino acid.
 carbon
The side chain of an amino
acid.
R group
These amino acids contain the
element sulfur.
cysteine &
methionine
Amino acids are joined
together by dehydration
reactions forming this bond.
Peptide bond
Which amino acid lacks an
asymmetric carbon?
glycine
The unique sequence of
amino acids in a protein.
Primary Structure
A slight change in this
structure of a protein can lead
to mutations like sickle-celled
hemoglobin.
Primary structure
 Helix or  pleated sheet
Secondary
structure
Formed when two cysteine
amino acids are brought in
close together by the folding
of a protein.
Disulfide bridge
Clustering of hydrophobic R
groups away from water.
Hydrophobic
interactions and
van der Waals
interactions
The trait that is shared by all
lipids.
They have little or
no affinity for
water.
A long carbon chain with a
carboxyl group at one end.
Fatty acid
A fat is constructed of two
kinds of smaller molecules:
Glycerol and fatty
acids
A fat that has double bonds
along its carbon chains.
unsaturated
The compound that has a
phosphate and two fatty acid
chains attached to the
glycerol molecule.
phospholipid
The process by which DNA
copies itself.
replication
Pyrimidines
Cytosine,
thymine, uracil
purines
Adenine & guanine
In 1951, the structure of DNA
was found to be this.
Double helix
The difference between
deoxyribose and ribose
An oxygen atom
located on
carbon 2 of
deoxyribose.
