What is the group called that contains fats, oils, phospholipids, and steroids?
Lipids
-
What is the name of the building blocks of the fat molecule?
Fatty acids
-
This is a organic compound that is a building block for fat molecules.
Glycerol
-
Is one in which ALL the carbon atoms are linked by single carbon-carbon bonds.
Saturated fatty acids
-
Contain at least one double bond between it carbon atoms.
Unsaturated fats
-
Type of organic molecule including complex rings of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Steroids
-
Molecule consisting of two fatty acids and a phosphate group bound to a glycerol molecule.
Phospholipids
-
A type of lipid in which there are 3 fatty acid molecules bound to a glycerol molecule.
Triglyceride
-
Is when the part of the molecule that hates(repels) water.
Hydrophobic
-
Is when the part of the molecule loves( attracts) water.
Hydrophilic
-
Nitrogen- containing organic compound composed of bonded amino acid molecules.
Proteins
-
Protein that catalyzes a specific biochemical reaction.
Enzyme
-
These are building blocks for proteins.
Amino acids
-
Three dimensional structure of a protein determined by its amino acid sequence and attractions and repulsions between amino acids in different parts of the molecule.
Conformation
-
Is the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide chain.
Primary structure
-
When the chain forms a three dimensional shape.
Secondary structure
-
The folding of secondary structure.
Tertiary structure
-
When several polypeptide chains join.
Quaternary structure
-
Heat, radiation, pH changes, certain chemicals, can cause this.
Denaturing
-
This carries the instructions that control a cell’s activities.
