Biological Molecules

?
reaction that occurs when two molecules are joined together with the removal of water
condensation reaction
1 of 24
a weak interaction that can occur wherever molecules contain a slightly negatively charged atom bonded to a slightly positively charged hydrogen atom
hydrogen bond
2 of 24
reaction that occurs when a molecule is split into two smaller molecules with the addition of water
hydrolysis reaction
3 of 24
a small molecule which binds to many other identical molecule to form a polymer
monomer
4 of 24
a large molecule made from many smaller molecules called monomers
polymer
5 of 24
a group of molecules containing C,H and O
carbohydrates

cellobiose
11 of 24
found in plants and forms the cell wall

12 of 24
a group of substances that are soluble in alcohol rather than water. they include triglycerides, phospholipids , glycolipids and cholesterol
lipids
13 of 24
very large organic molecule
macromolecule
14 of 24
a molecule consisting of glycerol two fatty acids and one phosphate groups
phispholipid
15 of 24
a monomer of all proteins ,and all have the same basic structure
amino acids
16 of 24
a bond formed when two amino acids are joined by a condensation reaction
peptide bond
17 of 24
the sequence of amino acids found in a molecule
primary structure
18 of 24
protein structure where protein consist of more than one polypeptide chain
Quaternary structure
19 of 24
the coiling or folding of an amino acid chain. which rises often as a result of hydrogen bond formation between different parts of the chain main forms are helix and the pleated sheet
secondary structure
20 of 24
the overall three dimensional shape of a protein molecule, its shape arises due to interactions including hydrogen bonds, disulfide bridges, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions
tertiary structure
21 of 24
has long ,thin stucture is insoluable in water and metabolically in active, often having a structural role within an organism
fibrous protein
22 of 24
has molecules of a relatively spherical shape which are soluble in water and often have metabolic roles within the organism
globular protein
23 of 24
a non protein component that forms a permanent part of a functioning protein molecule.
prosthetic group
