carbohydrates do this
provide nutrients to the cells of living things
The formula for carbs
C6nH10n+2O5n+1
Simple sugar that is the basic sub-unit of a carb
monosaccharide (n=1)
sugar formed from two mono's
disaccharide (n=2)
sugar made up of a long chain of simple sugars.
Polysaccharide (n=3)
a type of sugar, poly, that plants use for storing energy
Starch
type of sugar which is an energy storing carb used by animals
glycogen
type of sugar; comes from wood fiber and is the most abundant organic compound on Earth.
Cellulose (paper)
Chemist sugars contain
mono and di's
Cooking sugar contains
one particular di sucrose.
the buildup of di and poly sugars which take part in a reaction called what? This process's by product is what?
condensation, water.
the breakdown of poloy in which they are changed back to sugars by this process.
hydrolysis
proteins are made up of these element.s
N, C, H, O and sometimes others.
Our bodies are made up of mostly these.
Protein.
this is the most abundant protein found in the body. And is found in these places.
collagen, skin/bones.
these are the proteins in hair
keratin
all proteins are made up of...
amino acids
the building blocks of proteins
amino acids
One of 20 organic molecules that contain a carbox and amino group
amino acid
bond that forms between the carbox group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid.
peptide
the resulting biological polymer that forms in peptide is
polypeptide
can form a looped protein or 2 separate polypeptides
disulfide bridge
what four things give amino acids
primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary
primary structure is
amino acid sequence of a polypeptide chain
secondary structure is
coils and folds that are often held in place by hydrogen bonds
called analpha helix with h bonds that form along a single segment
secondary structure
3d shaped of a protein
tertiary
shaped like an accordian with h bonds that form b/w adjacent poly segments
beta pleated sheet
arises when diff. peptide chains have their own 3d structure and come together to form a large protein.
quaternary
class of biol. molecules that do not dissolve in water
lipids
3 major classes of lipids.
fats, oils, waxes
used for energy storage in animals
fat
cell membrane is made up of what
lipids
used for chemical signaling
steroids
general term for fats and oils
triglycerides
whats the difference between fats and oils
fats are from animals, solid at room temp.

Oils, liquid at room temp. and come from plants.
adding h atoms to unsaturated lipid molecule such as margin
hydrogenation
protein that catalyzes (speeds up) a chemical reaction without being permanently changed or destroyed
enzymes
only a small part of an enzymes surface (the active site) makes an
enzymes active
in reactions that use an enzyme the reactant is called the
substrate
to cause a protein to lose its tertiary and quartenary structures
denature
when denature happens,
the polypeptide becomes a random tangle
what causes an enzyme
temp, PH, salinity, etc.
molecules that are essential for maintaining good health
vitamins
vitamins act as sometimes
enzyme helpers
