Condensation reaction
Reaction that occurs when two molecules are joined together with the removal of water
1 of 19
Hydrogen bonds
a weak interaction that can occur whenever molecules contain a slightly negatively charged atom bonded to a slightly positively charged hydrogen atom
2 of 19
Hydrolysis reaction
Reaction that occurs when a molecule is split into to smaller mlecules with the addition of water
3 of 19
Monomer
A small molecule which binds to many other identical molecules to form a polymer
4 of 19
Polymer
A large molecule made form many smaller molecules called monomers
5 of 19
Carbohydrates
A group of molecules containg C,H and O
6 of 19
Glycosidic bond
A bond formed between two monosaccharides by a hydrolyisis reaction
7 of 19
Lipids
A group of substances that are soluble in alchole rather than water.
8 of 19
Macromolecule
a very large, organic molecule
9 of 19
Phospholipid
molecule consisting of glycerol, tiow fatty acids and one phosphate group
10 of 19
Amino acids
monomers of all proteins and all amino acids have the somae basic structure
11 of 19
Peptide bond
A bond formed when two amin acids are joined together by a condesation reaction
12 of 19
Primary structer
teh sequence of amino acids found in a molecule
13 of 19
quaternary structure
Protein structer where a protein consists of mpre than one polypeptide chain
14 of 19
Secondary structure
the coiling or folding of an amino acid chain which arise often as a result of hydrogen bond formation between diffrent parts of the chian.
15 of 19
Tertiary structure
the overall three-dimensional shape of a protein molecule.
16 of 19
Fibrous protein
Has a relatively long, thin structure, is insoluble in water and metabolically inactive often having a structural role in an organism
17 of 19
Globular proteins
has molecules of a relatively large spherical shape which are soluble in water and often have metabolic roles within the organism
18 of 19
prosthetic group
a non-protein componet that forms a permant part of a functioning protein molecule
