centrosomes and lysosomes
what organelles are unique to plant cells?
chloroplast, cell wall, vacoule
why do functional groups affect the properties of macromolecules?
Functional groups affect the bonds that hold a macromolecule together and determines the shapes of the macromolecules
what level of organization is this?
tertiary protein structure- when the certain attractions are present between alpha helices and pleated sheets
what level of organization is this?
quaternary protein structure- a protein consisting of more than 1 animo acid chain
what level of organization is this?
secondary protein structure- when the sequence of amino acids are linked by hydrogen bonds
what level of organization is this?
primary protein structure- a sequence of chained amino acids
what is the organization of biology?
atom ➡ molecule ➡ organelle ➡ cell ➡ tissue ➡ organ ➡ organ system ➡ organism ➡ population ➡ community ➡ ecosystem ➡ biosphere
