Hydrocarbon

Organic compounds consisting only of carbon and hydrogen. Can exist as unbranched or branched chains or as rings

Isomer

Compounds with same molecular formula but different structures

Structural isomer

Compounds that different in the covalent arrangements of their atom.

Geometric isomer

Compounds that are identical in the arrangements of there covalent bonds but different in the spatial arrangements of atoms or groups of atoms

Enatiomers

Isomers that are mirror images of eachother

Because covalent bonds between hydrogen and carping are nonpolar, hydrocarbons lack distinct charged region

.

Hydrophobic

Hydrocarbon are Insoluble in water and cluster together, because they like to stay away from water

Functional group

Groups of atoms that determine the types of chemical reactions and associations in which the compound participates

Methyl group r---oh

Common nonpolar hydrocarbon group

Carbonyl group r--cho

Consists of a carbon atoms that has a double covalent bond with an oxygen atom

Carboxyl group r--cooh

Non ionized form consits of a carbon atoms joined by a double covalent bond to an oxygen atom

Amino acid group r---nh2

In its non ionized form includes a nitrogen atom covalently bonded to two hydrogen atoms

Phosphate group r---po4h2

Is weakly acidic the attraction of electrons by the oxygen atoms can result in the release of one or two hydrogen ions producing ionized forms with one or two units of negative charge

Sulfhydryl group r--sh

Consisting of an atom of sulfur covalently bonded to a hydrogen atom is found in molecules called thios

Hydroxyl group r--oh

Polar because rod the presence of a strongly electromagnetic oxygen atom

Keytone

Has an internal carbonyl group

Macromolecules

Giant molecules very large consisting of thousands of atoms

Polymers

Produced by linking small organic compounds called monomers

Hydrolysis reaction

Polymers can be degraded to their component monomers. to break with water

Condensation reaction

Monomers become covalently linked because the equivalent of a molecule of water is removed during the reactions that combined monomers

Carbohydrates

Sugars starches and cellulose serve as energy sources for cells. cellulose is the main structural component of the walls that surround plant cells

Monosaccharides

Typically contain from 3 to 7 carbon atoms.. one sugar... a hydroxyl group is bonded to each carbon except one, that carbon is double bonded to an oxygen atom, forming a carbonyl group

Glucose c6h12o6

The most abundant monosaccharide is used as an energy source in most organisms during cellular respiration sells oxidized glucose molecule of converting the stored energy to a form that can be readily used for cell work

Disaccharide

Two sugars. contains two monosaccharide rings joined by a glycosidic linkage,consisting of central oxygen covalently bonded to two carbons when in each ring

Glysodic linkage

Forms between carbin 1 of one molecule and carbon 4 of another

Polysaccharide

Macromolecule consisting of repeating units of simple sugars usually glucose they are the most abundant carbohydrate and includes starches glycogen and cellulose

Starch

Typical form of carbohydrate used for energy storage in plants is a polymer consisting of alpha glucose subunits

Amyloplasts

Plant cells store starch mainly as granules within specialized organelles

. Glycogen

Referred to as animal starch is the form in which glucose subunits are stored as an energy source in animal tissues

Cellulose

Is insoluble polysaccharide composed of many join glucose molecules cannot be digested by humans

Glycoprotein

Compounds present on the outer surface of bal other than bacteria. carbohydrate combined with a protein

Lipid

Are heterogeneous group of compounds that are categorized by the fact that they are soluble in nonpolar solvents such as ether and chloroform and are relatively insoluble in water

Triacyclglycerol

The most abundant lipid in living form these compounds are commonly known as fats and are an economical form of reserve fuel storage because when metabolize they yield more than twice as much energy

Glycerol

Is a three carbon alcohol that contains three hydroxyl groups

Fatty acid

Is a long unbranched hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic group COO H at one end

Ester linkage

Formation of a covalent linkage

Saturated fatty acid

Contains the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms

. Unsaturated fatty acid

Includes one or more adjacent pairs of carbon atoms joined by a double bond therefore they are not fully saturated with hydrogen

Monounsaturated fatty acid

Fatty acids with one double bond. are where those with one or more are polyunsaturated fatty acids

Amphipathic lipids

In which one end of each molecule is hydrophilic and the other end is hydrophobic

Phospholipid

Consist of glycerol molecule attached at one and two fatty acid and at the other end to a phosphate group link to an organic compound

Carotenoids

Classified with the lipids because they are insoluble in water and have an oil consistency these pigments found in the cells of plants play a role in photosynthesis

Isoprene units

Consist of five carbon hydrocarbon monomers

Steroid

Consists of carbon atoms arranged in four attached rings three of the Rings contain six carbon atoms and the fourth contains five

Retinol

Most animals convert cartonoids to vitamin A which can then be converted to a visual pigment

Proteins

Macromolecules composed of amino acids are the most versatile cell components

Enzymes

Molecules that accelerate the thousands of different chemical reactions that take place in an organism's. are protein

Amino acid

The constituents of proteins have amino acid group and carboxyl group bonded to the same asymmetrical carbon atom known as the alpha carbon

Essential amino acids

I know the animals cannot synthesize in amounts sufficient to its need and must obtain from diet

Peptide bond

The covalent carbon to nitrogen bond linking two amino acids

Dipeptide

Two amino acids combine

Polypeptide

Longer chain of amino acids

. Globular protein
