What are 5 molecules of life? |
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, adenosine triphosphate |
|
how many bonds can carbon make? |
4 |
|
when bonded what shape does carbon make? |
tetrahedron |
|
2 reasons why carbon is ideal |
Catenation: can form endless chains and rings and branches - string together as many as you want. Able to make 4 covalent bonds -most # of bonds |
|
what gives carbon the tetrahedron shape? |
4 electrons repelling each other creating 109.5 degree bond angles |
|
organic vs inorganic (& exceptions) |
Organic = large carbon containing Inorganic = w/o carbon (except CO, CO2) |
|
2 types of Hydrocarbons |
Saturated and unsaturated |
|
example of saturated hydrocarbon |
CH4 |
|
example of unsaturated hydrocarbon |
C2H4 |
|
unsaturated or saturated hydrocarbon breaks easier? why? |
unsaturated. double bonds break easier and are easier to digest |
|
anabolic reaction |
simple to complex, building bigger eg: dehydration synthesis |
|
catabolic reaction |
complex to simple, simplifying eg: hydrolysis |
|
Sucrose is made by what process? |
dehydration synthesis glucose+fructose |
|
sucrose is broken down by what process? |
hydrolysis |
|
Three forms of carbohydrates |
Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Polysaccharides |
|
Ratio of chemical equation of carbohydrates |
1,2,1 (1C,2H,1O) eg:C6H12O6 glucose (hexoses) |
|
"ides" |
means sugar unit "Monosaccharide" |
|
"ose" |
means sugar |
|
Monosaccharide |
One sugar unit |
|
4 types of monosaccharides |
Trioses 3 carbon sugar tetroses 4 carbon sugar Hexoses 6 carbon sugar
|
|
Two types of pentoses |
Deoxyribose (less oxygen) Ribose
|
|
3 types of hexoses |
Dextrose/Glucose (blood sugar) Fructose/Levulose (fruit sugar- 50% sweeter than glucose) Galactose (dairy) |
|
Disaccharides |
2 sugar units |
|
How are disaccharides formed |
dehydration synthesis |
|
3 types of Disaccharides |
Sucrose (table sugar) = glucose + fructose Maltose (malt sugar) = glucose + glucose Lactose (milk sugar) = glucose + galactose |
|
How are disaccharides broken apart? |
Hydrolysis |
|
Name the enzymes for sucrose, maltose, and lactose |
sucrase, maltase, lactase |
|
Polysaccharides |
many sugar units - structure or stored formed of energy |
|
6 forms of polysaccharides |
starch - plants glycogen - animals cellulose - plant cell walls (fiber) chitin - fungi cell walls peptidoglycan - bacteria cell walls (murine) dextran - secreted by streptococcus mutans |
|
2 polysaccharides that are stored energy |
starch, glycogen |
|
3 polysaccharides that form structure |
cellulose, chitin, peptidoglycan |
|
sticky gooey polysaccharides secreted by Streptococcus mutans and turns to plaque |
Dextran |
|
candida has a cell wall made of what? |
chitin |
|
E. coli has a cell wall made of? |
peptidoglycan |
|
Giardia has a cell wall made of? |
NO CELL WALL |
|
plants have a cell wall made of? |
cellulose |
|
Lipids
|
are non polar and mostly insoluble in water (polar)
|
|
Simple lipids
|
fats and triglycerides
|
|
triglyceride
|
glycerol + 3 fatty acid
|
|
how many carbons do glycerol have?
|
3
|
|
in dehydration synthesis to form fatty acids who loses an O and who loses an OH |
glycerol loses an O and fatty acid loses an OH |
|
2 types of simple lipids |
saturated and unsaturated |
|
Saturated fat |
no double covalent bonds - max # of single H's - flexible and hard to break (digest) - solid at room temp |
|
Unsaturated fat |
at least 1 double bond - inflexible and easy to break (digest) - liquid at room temp |
|
complex lipids |
make all membranes on the cellular level |
|
Phospholipid |
phosphate head, glycerol, 2 fatty acids |
|
Polar or nonpolar? Hydrophilic or hydrophobic? phosphate head fatty acid tails |
polar, nonpolar hydrophilic, hydrophobic |
|
cell membrane is made of what? |
phospholipid bi layer |
|
diseases that require acid fast staining? why? |
Mycobacterium (TB & Leprosy) due to waxes |
|
Steroids |
4 fused rings (be able to draw) Used to make animal plasma membranes, cholesterol, V-D, sex hormones "rone", might help to treat Mycoplasmas which are wall less. |
