Which one of the following is an amino group?
NH2
Which one of the following contains a carboxyl and an amino group?
AMINO ACIDS
DNA differs from RNA because DNA
contains thymine in place of uracil.
Which one of the following statements about the monomers and polymers found in living organisms is FALSE?
During digestion monomers are joined together to make polymers which are then absorbed by the body.
Which of the following statements is/are true about dehydration synthesis?
A)All of the choices are correct.
B) Covalent bonds are formed between the monomers.
C) One monomer loses a hydrogen atom, and the other loses a hydroxyl group.
D) Electrons are shared between atoms of
the joined monomers.
E) H2O is formed as the monomers are joined.
ANSWER = A
The tertiary structure of a polypeptide refers to
the overall three-dimensional structure
The results of dehydration synthesis can be reversed by
hydrolysis
Proteins differ from one another because
the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain differs from protein to protein.
Which list below consists of only polymers?
proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, polysaccharides
Hydrocarbons
contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Which one of the following will not be affected by the denaturation of a protein?
the number of amino acids in the protein
Organic compounds :
always contain carbon.
One way to convert an oil into a substance that is solid at room temperature is to
chemically saturating the oil by adding hydrogens, decreasing the number of double bonds in the molecules.
Genetic information is encoded in the
sequence of nucleotides in DNA.
Carbon is able to form an immense diversity of organic molecules because of carbon's
A) ability to bond together to form extensive, branched, or unbranched "carbon skeletons."
B) capacity to form single and double bonds.
C) ability to bond with up to four other atoms.
D) tendency to form covalent bonds.
E) All of the choices are correct.
You now know that the old cliche "oil and water don't mix" is true. Why?
Water exhibits polarity and oil does not.
Amino acids can be distinguished from one another by
the chemical properties of their R groups.
In salad dressings, oil quickly separates from vinegar because oils are
nonpolar
Which one of the following is not the proper pairing of a polymer and its monomer?
