Front

What is a monomer of a nucleic acid?

Back

A monomer of a nucleic acid consists of a pentose sugar, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group.

Front

Which component is NOT part of a nucleic acid monomer?

Back

Amino acid.

Front

What is hydrolysis?

Back

Hydrolysis is the process of breaking a bond within a polymer using water.

Front

What is dehydration synthesis?

Back

Dehydration synthesis is the process of forming a bond between monomers with the removal of a water molecule.

Front

What is the primary structure of a protein?

Back

The primary structure of a protein is the sequence of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.

Front

What are the four levels of protein structure?

Back

The four levels of protein structure are primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.

Front

What is the pairing and number of bonds in DNA?

Back

A pairs with T (2 hydrogen bonds) and G pairs with C (3 hydrogen bonds).

Front

What is a nitrogenous base?

Back

A nitrogenous base is a component of nucleotides in nucleic acids, which includes adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.

Front

What is a pentose sugar?

Back

A pentose sugar is a five-carbon sugar molecule, such as ribose or deoxyribose, found in nucleotides.

Front

What is the role of phosphate in nucleic acids?

Back

Phosphate groups link nucleotides together to form the backbone of nucleic acid strands.
