|
What are the 4 organic macromolecules?
|
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
|
|
|
Examples of types of lipids?
|
phospholipid, (tri)glycerol, steroid
|
|
|
Shape and structure of a carbohydrate?
|
Formula is 1:2:1 and example is C6H12O6 or O4H8O4
|
|
|
Shape and structure of a lipid?
|
Formula is phosphates and long carbon chains with hydrogen attatched.
|
|
|
Shape and structure of a protein?
|
Formula is Amino group plus carboxle group plus R group. (R group is the crazy hairball one)
|
|
|
Shape and structure of Nucleic Acids?
|
Formula is nucleotides. (DNA and RNA and ATP) (Just think of full or broken ladders) (There will be a hangy downy on one side and a hangy uppy on another)
|
|
|
Common names of the carbohydrates:
|
GlucOSE, fructOSE, galactOSE, cellulOSE, starch ("ose" or starch)
Note: 1. Monosaccarides or 2. Disaccharides 2= polysaccharide |
|
|
Common names of lipids:
|
wax, fat, lipid, steroid (various functions)
|
|
|
Saturated
|
thick at room tempurature, and is full of H bonds so its hard to digest
|
|
|
Unsaturated
|
Less H bonds and easier to digest
|
|
|
Common names of Proteins:
|
muslce, meat, enzymes ("ase")
Many amino acids = polypeptide, all amino acids end in "ine" 1 degree- AA + AA + AA 2 degree- fold twist 3 degree - clump 4 degree - add 2 or more clumps |
|
|
Common names of Nucleic Acids:
|
DNA, RNA, ATP
functions in genetic info and energy currency |
|
