Monosaccharide formula correct answer: (CH2O)n (n is 3 or more) Aldotriose correct answer: Also known as glyceraldehyde, simplest aldehyde monosaccharide (n = 3), has L and D isomer (centre carbon is chiral) Ketotriose correct answer: Also known as dihydroxyacetone, simplest ketone monosaccharide (n = 3), non chiral Carbon numbering correct answer: Aldoses always have aldehyde and C1, ketoses have ketone at C2 Sugar naming correct answer: triose, tetrose, pentose, hexose, etc., ...

Midterm Study Guide for Research Methods in Psychology

Classifications of proteins are based on.... correct answer: - position in the cell (membrane/soluble/extracellular) - function (transporter/enzyme/structural/hormone) - other molecules associated w/ it (glycoprotein - sugar, lipoprotein - lipid) A salt bridge is an....bond and is an example of a.....interaction correct answer: ionic, non-covalent Are salt bridges easier to break in biochem? Why? correct answer: - Yes- Interacting w/ surrounding solvent (water) Is an O bonded to a ...

identify all the polar amino acids correct answer: cysteine (cys), asparatate (asp), glutamate (glu), histidine (his) , lysine (lys), asparagine (asn), arginine (arg), serine (ser), threonine (thr), and glutamine (gln) identify all the nonpolar (hydrophobic) amino acids correct answer: alanine (ala), proline (pro), phenylalanine (phe), valine (val), leucine (leu), and isoleucine (ile) identify all of the amphipathic/mixed properties amino acids: correct answer: methionine (met), tyrosin...

functions of the membrane correct answer: -the structure of the membrane is key for its function -act as a barrier regulating import and export of molecules -help with compartmentalization of the cell, creating particular environments for certain processes so multiple specialized processes could occur at once -modulates cell-cell recognition with their glycoproteins and glycolipids located on the outer leaflet facing the cytosol -signaling across the membrane by proteins and lipids p...

van der Waals correct answer: -weakest (short lives) but lots could strengthen the bond -furthest distance -form as a result of hydrophobic interactions -strength depends on the size of the atoms and the distance between them -cannot be closer than the Van der Waals contact distance or else positively charged nuclei will repel each other (energy= 0) Proteins correct answer: main action molecule of the cell (Most chemical processes of the body are carried out by proteins) -classified in...

Functions of biological membranes correct answer: - barrier (import/export) -compartmentalization of essential molecules (incrs. efficiency) - cell signaling-mediated by pr & lipids (receptors) - modulate cell-cell recognition (glycoproteins & glycolipids) What's responsible for membrane formation correct answer: decrease in ionic interactions w/ h2o (HYDROPHOBIC EFFECT) -h20X tails aggregate to hide from h2o (lots of n-c interactions) -polar heads interact w/ h2o Decreases membrane ...

sucrose correct answer: glucose + fructose with a glycosidic bond simple monosaccharide correct answer: formula: (CH2O)n -simplest carbohydrates -have an aldehyde or ketone group sugars with a aldehyde have a prefix aldo- sugars with a ketone group have a prefix keto- -if a ketose, the ketone group is always at carbon 2- this decreases the amount of isomers that could form -made up of chiral carbons- allowing the sugars to form different isomers, leading to structural diversity (aldos...

agarose and agar correct answer: polysaccharides used to run DNA gels and for microbial plates bacterial cell walls correct answer: contain polysaccharides in their peptidoglycan layer lectins correct answer: are proteins that bind to sugars protein glycolsylation correct answer: assists in folding and cellular recognition, e.g. ABO blood groups -ose correct answer: indicates a molecule is some kind of carb blood group antigens correct answer: glycoproteins containing differ...

proteins correct answer: polymers of amino acids linked in a linear chain by peptide/amide bonds (polypeptides) polysaccharides correct answer: polymers of sugars (mono-saccharides) linked in linear and branched chains by glycosidic bonds DNA correct answer: polymers of nucleotides linked in linear chains by phosphodiester bonds protein enzymes correct answer: Linkages (bonds) are formed/broken by _______? sickle cell anemia correct answer: a single amino acid change in hemoglob...
