Terms : Hide Images
5635827059saturated unsaturated- maxed out hydrogens on carbon bonds w/ only single bonds - has double or triple bonds in structure0
5635827966Triglyceride- made from glycerol (OH group) + fatty acid - long term energy molecule1
5635829403Phospholipids- phosphate group + fatty acid - hydrophilic on top, hydrophobic on bottom - forms cell membrane2
5635832040Protein structures- 1 - ribosomes condense amino acids to make sequence of DNA - 2 - alpha helix and beta sheets formed by hydrogen bonds and R group interactions - 3 - sulfide bonds3
5635837977Amphipathic- Charged head = hydrophylic - Noncharged bottom = hydrophobic4
5635840198Polysacchrides- polymers of sugar - Alpha = apple (bottom) - Beta = balloon (top)5
5635845390Nucleic acids- sugar + phosphate group + base pair - RNA = uracil - DNA = thymine6
5635864859Cyestine- type of amino acid that creates disulfide bonds7
5635864860Tertiary- most stable structure with most covalent bonds8
5635868110How to tell polarity- 5' ends/starts with phosphate group and carbon backbone - 3' ends with no carbon attached - new shit will add to 3' end only9
5635870738Ligase- seals gaps between okasaki fragments10
5635871265Helicase- unzips the double helix11
5635871723DNA polymerase III- replicates the leading strand12
5635872384RNA primers- cannot copy DNA without primers - inserts ribonucleotides that are eventurally p13
5635873348Topiosomerase- relieves stress of unwinding (cuts one strand)14
5635875287Alaphatic chain Alaphapatic chain- nonpolar - polar15
