Bio Unit Assessment

polar

polar

have an even distribution of electrons and mix with water

non-polar

have an uneven distribution of electrons and do not mix

How do nucleic acids help maintain homeostasis?

nucleic acids help make proteins and porteins provide you with energy

primary structure

chain amino acids

secondary structure

twists/bends to sheets/helixes, hydrogen bonds

tertiary structure

coils in on itself, disulfide and covalent bonds

quanternary

multiple amino acids chains*, van der waals forces, not every proein has this

hydrolisis

a reaction when you are adding water to a polymer to make two monomers

dehydration synthesis

taking water out of two monomer to make a polymer
