Chem 210 Module 1 Exam Questions (56 Terms) With Verified Definitions Updated 2024

bulk elements {Ans: carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and hydrogen}supramolecular complexes {Ans: Complexes of two or more macromolecules routinely interact to function in the cell. Combinations of proteins, as in response to insulin, join together as a supramolecular complex to perform a task. Alternatively, a protein and section of DNA can unite in a supramolecular complex so that the protein can repair the DNA}acetic acid {Ans: Acid found in vinegar}Luciferin {Ans: light-emitting chemical compound, when acted upon by a protein, glows in the night as these bugs move}Carbohydrate monomer {Ans: sugar molecule}ribosomes {Ans: protein-RNA complexes that manufacture proteins for the cell}genome {Ans: complete set of genes for the organism}lysosome {Ans: promote degradation of macromolecules-protein, lipid, carbohydrate, nucleic acids-into smaller piece in animal cells}Titin {Ans: one of the largest proteins, has a molecular weight of 3,900,000 g/mol}glucose {Ans: the most common sugar on Earth, contains several alcohol groups per molecule}water bond angle {Ans: 104.5}trigonal pyramidal angle {Ans: 107.5}DNA or RNA monomer {Ans: nucleotide}rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER) {Ans: function of which is to synthesize and process proteins. The 'rough' portions come from the knobby-looking ribosomes that stick out
