AP bio macro-molecules quiz

What elements make up a fat/ lipid

carbon, hydrogen, oxygen a long chain of carbons with all single or some double bonds

Difference between saturated and unsaturated fats

Saturated: only single covalent bonds between carbon atoms. At room temp, saturated fat is a solid because molecules are closely packed together.

Unsaturated: has one or more double bonds between carbon atoms. Unsaturated fat molecules are not packed closely together so are not solid at room temp.

what are the Two different functional groups of amino acids

amine (-NH2) and carboxylic acid (-COOH)

Where do you find saturated fats

animals fats; Fatty beef, lamb, pork, poultry with the skin on, beef fat, lard, cream and butter

what are the 3 parts of a neculiotide in RNA

ribose sugar, phosphate, and a base RPB

Describe the secondary structure of protein

Secondary structure results from hydrogen bonding. The hydrogen bond causes the amino acids to form pleated sheets or helices

The purines (adenine and guanine) and describe the structure

The purines (adenine and guanine) have a two-ringed structure consisting of a nine-membered molecule with four nitrogen atoms

what are the monomers of protiens

amino acids

What type of bond holds two DNA strands together

hydrogen bonds
