  • Protein levels of structure
    Primary structure is a polypeptide sequence of amino acids
    Secondary structure is polypeptide chains: Alpha helix and the beta pleaded sheet
    Tertiary structure is a polypeptide coiled up folded on its self
    Quaternary structure is when two or more polypeptides chains join together
  • Denaturation is and caused by
    The unfolding of a protein
    High heat, Extreme pH and solvents
  • Building blocks of carbohydrates
    Monosaccharides
    Disaccharides
    Polysaccharides
  • Different types of Lipids
    Neutral fats
    Triglycerides
    Saturated (single double bond)
    Unsaturated (two double bonds)
    Phospholipids
  • Monomer vs. Polymer
    Monosaccharide -> Carbohydrate
    Glycerol, fatty acids, steroids -> Fats (Lipids)
    Amino acids -> Proteins
    Nucleotides -> Nucleic acid
  • Composition of cell membrane
    Glycerophospholipid, phosphate group and two fatty acid chains
  • Function of protein
    Structural support, biochemical catalyst, fundamental to structure and function of living things
  • Purines vs Pyrimidines
    Purines are two ringed: A and G
    Pyrimidines are one ringed: T, C and U
