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
pentoses 5 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.
