Chapter One

3. disproved spontaneous generation and developed vaccines and pasteurization
4. composed of at least 20 amino acids
6. a non-living, self replicating protein that has no DNA
9. provides the information for the order and type of amino acids in a protein
10. polymers composed of a minimum of 50 amino acid monomers
11. delivers the correct amino acids for protein assembly; almost like an enzyme in terms of function
12. cannot reproduce on its own. Must hijack a living host to survive
13. stucture of proteins with a linear sequence of amino acids joined by peptide bonds
16. devised a series of logical steps that establish whether or not an organism is pathogenic and which disease it caused
17. Carbohydrate polymers that store energy
18. polymers composed of glycerol and fatty acids
20. scientist credited with studying living cells (animacules)
21. single celled organisms with no nucleus
23. can be single celled or multicellular, with nucleus
25. living, single-celled prokaryotes
27. patterns that repeat when R groups interact. An Alpha and Beta helix begin at this level

1. scientist credited with studying dead cells (cork)
2. two or more polypeptide chains. Not found in all proteins.
5. 3-d shape of polypeptide chains;disulfide bonds and ionic bonds
7. single glycerol "backbone" with 3 fatty acids
8. immune system proteins
9. very large polymers composed of smaller units called monomers
14. single glycerol "backbone" with 2 fatty acids and a phosphate group (cell membrane)
15. can only be measured through biochemical activity and through a microscope
19. the three classifications of life from which all emerge; bacteria, archaea, eukarya
21. eukaryotic organism that isn't an animal, plant or fungus
22. 3.8 billion years ago when the first microbe appeared in the form of bacteria
24. microbes that cause disease
26. major structural component of ribosomes
