What is a fatty acid
long hydrocarbon chain, even number of C, and and COOH at the end
what makes a triglyceride
glycerol and three fatty acids
what makes a phospholipid
polar phosphate head, nonpolar fatty acid tails
what is the structure of a steriod
four fused carbon rings
what is the monomer of a protein
amino acid
whats makes up an amino acid
NCC chain. one side is an amino group, the other side a carboxyl (acid) group, and a central carbon with an R group
what is a side chain
the R group in an amino acid
Primary structure: what kind of bonds, between what, and what it forms
Peptide bonds between amino acids, forms polypeptide
Secondary structure: what kind of bonds, between what, and what it forms
hydrogen bonds between amino acids in the BACKBONE, forms coiled or folded polypeptide
Tertiary structure: what kind of bonds, between what, and what it forms
polarity reactions, covalent, ionic, hydrogen, and disulfide bonds, between SIDE CHAINS that cause balling and twisting to make a PROTEIN (shape determines function)
quaternary structure: what kind of bonds, between what, and what it forms
two or more tertiary polypeptides interacting (hemoglobin)
what three molecules make up a nucleotide
pentose sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogen containing base
complimentary base pair with two H-bonds
A+T
complimentary base pair with three H-bonds
G+C
