Compound

two or more elements joined by chemical bond

Base

Hydroxide

Acid

hydrogen

buffer

prevents ph from changing dramatically

dissolving

Solute: being dissolved


Solvent: does dissolving


Solution: Solute + Solvent

Hydroxyl group (FG)

oxygen and hydrogen, makes things more basic

Carbonal group (FG)

aldehydes: oxygen at END


Ketones: oxygen in MIDDLE




(Benedict's reagent)

Carboxyl (FG)

combination of hydroxyl, and carbonyl.


Found in amino acids

Amino group (FG)

nitrogen, 2 hydrogen attached

Sulfurhydryl (FG)

sulfur attached to hydrogen

Phosphate group (FG)

appears in plasma membrane

Methyl (FG)

carbon, 3 hydrogen

Carbohydrates

Energy and structure


(starch tested for by IKI)

Lipids

hydrophobic, 7 types

Fats (lipid)

fatty acid tail on glycerol. If single bonded to glycerol, it is saturated fat. if double bonded, it is unsaturated fat

Phospholipids (lipid)

Has variable group, in plasma membranes, hydrophilic head, hydrophobic tail

Steroids (lipids)

4 fused rings, makes up human hormones

Waxes (lipids)

firm, repel water, fatty acids in large chain

Proteins

enzymes, structure, storage (amino acids), transport,receptors, contractile, defensive

Peptide bond

One amino acid to another

BACKBONE OF AMIINO ACID

AMIINO GROUP


CARBON


CARBOXYL GROUP


(also hydrogen and R group)

Backbone of nucleic acids

Phosphate sugar

Side chain of nucleic acids

Bases

Organization of proteins

1)Primary: order of amino acids


2)Secondary: hydrogen bonds between backbones of polypeptide bonds


3)Tertiary: Bonds between side chains


4)Quaternary: Bonds between polypeptide chain

Monomer of Nucleic acid

nucleotide

Functions of DNA

Inheritance,


Determine what proteins are built

Messenger RNA

makes proteins

Ribosomal RNA

makes up ribosome

Transfer RNA

brings amino acids to the ribosome

How many Amino acids make up protein?

20

Gene Expression

1) RNA Synthesis (transcription)


2) RNA EDITING


3) Protein synthesis (translation)

RNA Synthesis

Initiation: promoter adds on, proteins add on,


Elongation: Rna builds


Termination: Rna polymerase stop building at sequence TTATTT

Rna editing

occurs in nucleus, extra nucleotides at end.

Splicing

Introns are cut out, exons remain. get spliced in splicosome

Nucleotides are the monomers of nucleic acid

Made of:


Phosphate


Pentose sugar


Nitrogen containing base
