Reaction that occurs when a molecule is split into two smaller molecules with the addition of water Hydrolysis
88%
A large molecule made from many smaller molecules called monomers Polymer
87%
A small molecule which binds to many other identical molecules to form a polymer Monomer
83%
A group of substances that are soluble in alcohol rather than water. They include triglycerides, phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol Lipids
64%
A weak interaction that can occur wherever molecules contain a slightly negatively charged atom bonded to a slightly positively charged hydrogen atom Hydrogen bond
63%
A group of molecules containing C, H and O Carbohydrates
62%
Molecule consisting of glycerol, two fatty acids and one phosphate group Phospholipid
62%
A bond formed when two amino acids are joined by a condensation reaction Peptide bond
59%
The coiling or folding of an amino acid chain, which arises often as a result of hydrogen bond formation between different parts of the chain. For example, alpha helixes and beta pleated sheet Secondary structure
59%
The overall three-dimensional shape of a protein molecule. Its shape arises due to interactions including hydrogen bonding, disulfide bridges, ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactions Tertiary structure
59%
A bond formed between two monosaccharides by a hydrolysis reaction Glycosidic bond
52%
The sequence of amino acids found in a molecule Primary structure
48%
Monomers of all proteins, and all amino acids have the same basic structure Amino acids
30%
Has molecules of a relatively spherical shape, which are soluble in water, and often have metabolic roles within the organism Globular protein
27%
Has a relatively long, thin structure, is insoluble in water and metabolically inactive, often having a structural role within an organism Fibrous protein
25%
Protein structure where protein consists of more than one polypeptide chain. For example, insulin Quarternary structure
23%
