2 monosaccharides joined together by dehydration reactions. Glycosidic Linkage. Sucrose
Van der Waals
Weak bond, no sharing
Polysaccharides
Hundreds to thousands of monosaccharides. Energy source and storage.
Glycosidic Linkage
When two or more monosaccharides join to make a carbohydrate.
Starch and Glycogen
Energy source and storage. Animal muscle contains glycogen.
Functions of Carbs
Energy, structural support in plants,
Lipids
Meat, cheese, fats, vegetables, oil, nuts
Phospholipid
Part of cell membrane. Ester Linkage, dehydration reaction.
Saturated Fat
All carbons have Hydrogen attached
Unsaturated Fat
Not all C have H attached. Causes bend
Steroids
Cholesterol, hydroxyl/methyl, signaling, communication
Polar Molecules
Unequal sharing, hydrophilic
Non-polar Molecules
Equal sharing, hydrophobic
Salts
Opposite sides of chart, dissociate into water, when dry form crystals
Saturated Fat
All carbons have Hydrogen attached, straight, no double bonds, solid @ room temp
Unsaturated Fat
Not all C have H attached. Cis double bond causes bend. Liquid @ room temp
Water and Heat
Takes a lot of energy to change the temp of water, stores heat, evaporative cooking
Proteins
Meat, eggs, beans, nuts. C, H, O, N, sometimes S
Nucleic Acids
Genetic material. C, h, o, n, p. Phosphate and hydroxyl groups.
Nucleotides
Building blocks of DNA/RNA
Phosphidiester linkage
How nucleotides bond together
Polynucleotide
Nucleic Acid
DNA
2 polynucleotides spiraling in double helix. Genetic material
RNA
Single polypeptide chain.
Why are cells small?
Cell membrane creates internal and external environments. Oxygen, nutrients, waste have to transmit across membrane. The rate at which there transmit is directly proportional to the surface area of cell surface.
Basic features of all cells
Plasma Membrane
Semifluid substance called cytosil
Cytoplasm - space between cell membrane and rest
Chromosomes - carry genes
Ribosomes - protein synthesis
Prokaryotic cells
Bacteria and archaea. No nucleus, older, smaller
Eukaryotic Cells
Protista, fungi, animals, and plants. Nucleus, organelles, younger, larger
Amino Acids
Building blocks of proteins, carboxyl and amino groups, differ in properties due to difference in side chains
Polypeptide
Polymer of amino acids
Peptide Bonds
How amino acids are linked. Dehydration reaction. Strong covalent bond.
Functional groups involved in peptide bond
Carboxyl and Amino
Protein Functions
Repair and maintenance, energy, hormones, enzymes, transportation and storage of molecules, antibodies
Primary Structure of Protein
Sequence of amino acids
Secondary structure of proteins
Pleated sheets, helices
Tertiary structure of proteins
Starts to coil on itself
Quaternary structure of proteins
More than one polypeptide
