Terms : Hide Images [1]
| 5635827059 | saturated unsaturated | - maxed out hydrogens on carbon bonds w/ only single bonds - has double or triple bonds in structure | 0 | |
| 5635827966 | Triglyceride | - made from glycerol (OH group) + fatty acid - long term energy molecule |  | 1 |
| 5635829403 | Phospholipids | - phosphate group + fatty acid - hydrophilic on top, hydrophobic on bottom - forms cell membrane | 2 | |
| 5635832040 | Protein 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 bonds | 3 | |
| 5635837977 | Amphipathic | - Charged head = hydrophylic - Noncharged bottom = hydrophobic | 4 | |
| 5635840198 | Polysacchrides | - polymers of sugar - Alpha = apple (bottom) - Beta = balloon (top) | 5 | |
| 5635845390 | Nucleic acids | - sugar + phosphate group + base pair - RNA = uracil - DNA = thymine | 6 | |
| 5635864859 | Cyestine | - type of amino acid that creates disulfide bonds | 7 | |
| 5635864860 | Tertiary | - most stable structure with most covalent bonds | 8 | |
| 5635868110 | How 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 only | 9 | |
| 5635870738 | Ligase | - seals gaps between okasaki fragments | 10 | |
| 5635871265 | Helicase | - unzips the double helix | 11 | |
| 5635871723 | DNA polymerase III | - replicates the leading strand | 12 | |
| 5635872384 | RNA primers | - cannot copy DNA without primers - inserts ribonucleotides that are eventurally p | 13 | |
| 5635873348 | Topiosomerase | - relieves stress of unwinding (cuts one strand) | 14 | |
| 5635875287 | Alaphatic chain Alaphapatic chain | - nonpolar - polar | 15 |
