5472463458	Sulfhydryl		3
5472465740	Phosphate	-PO4	4
5472468118	Carboxyl	Acts as an acid; can donate an H+ -COOH or -COO-	5
5472473630	Hydroxyl	Is polar and has double covalent bonds	6
5472486592	Ionic Bonds	Transfer electrons	7
5472488069	Covalent Bonds	Share electrons	8
5472489784	Hydrogen Bonds	Occur in polar molecules	9
5472494740	Cohesion and Surface tension	"Sticks to itself" due to H bonding	10
5472498590	Adhesion	Water sticks to other substances as long as H bonds are a possibility (plants drinking water)	11
5472502315	Capillary Action	Is a mix between adhesion and cohesion (like when you hold water in a straw)	12
5472510243	High Specific Heat and High Heat of Vaporization	A measure of kinetic energy	13
5472511844	Universal Solvent	Water is "good dissolver" of all things polar	14
5472518099	Polar	Unequal sharing of electrons	15
5472542777	Isomers	A rearrangement oof a molecule's somponents	16
5472549420	Endergonic	Uses energy to complete a reaction	17
5472550780	Exergonic	Gives you a net gain of energy	18
5472557313	Glucose		19
5472559774	Deoxyribose		20
5472561388	Ribose		21
5472564770	Lipids	-Are hydrophobic -Common ex. is triglyceride Cholesterol is this	22
5472574222	Saturated Fat	Easy to pack in to be a solid at room temperature and easier to break down (like butter) (the three flags on one pole)	23
5472581157	Unsaturated Fat	Tends to be a liquid at room temperature (like olive oil)	24
5472593823	Amino Acids	Make up enzymes, "building blocks" for enzymes; stucture determines the enzyme's function; linked through peptide bondsthrough dehydration synthesis	25
5472614212	Hydrophobic/ hydrophilic	Shape protiens based on the R groups involved	26
5472623598	Primary Structure	The order of the amino acids	27
5472627067	Secondary Stucture	The interaction of primary structure with itself forming hydrogen bonds (interaction with immideate group)	28
5472633124	Tertiary Structure	The interaction of the secondary structures with other secondary structures within the same chain of amino acids (interaction with sub group)	29
5472637515	Quaternary Structure	The introduction of additional amino acid chains. (the whole thing)	30
5472648695	Denaturation	When the shape of a protein irreversibly change	31
5472657386	Organic	There's carbon and hydrogen in it	32
5472662064	ATP		33
5472670610	Hemoglobin		34
5472677892	Amino Acid Stucture		35
5472681373	Cholesterol		36
