Front 1

Elements Of Lipids

Back 1

CHO
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen

Front 2

Ratio Of Carbon to Hydrogen

Back 2

Lipids do not have a 1:2 carbon to hydrogen ratio

Front 3

Examples of Lipids

Back 3

fats, oils, and waxes

Front 4

Energy per gram

Back 4

Carbohydrates release 4 calories/1 gram
Lipids release 9 calories/1 gram

Front 5

Functions Of Lipids

Back 5

Stored Energy
Cushion Organs
Provide Insulation
Are a component of the cell membrane
Ear wax traps dirt, microbes, and dust
Plants leaves have a waxy cuticle layer for protection and to prevent water loss
Skin produces oils in the sebaceous layer to prevent from cracking

Front 6

Lipid Structure

Back 6

Contain 1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids

Front 7

Elements of Protein

Back 7

CHON
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen

Front 8

Proteins are macromolecules

Back 8

macromolecules- large molecules made up of chains of smaller molecules

Front 9

Proteins are made of amino acids

Back 9

amino acids- the simplest unit of proteins; there are 20 essential amino acids in living organisms

Front 10

Amino Acids

Back 10

The 20 amino acids are similar in structure except for something called the "R-group". Each structure has a hydrogen group, an amino group, and a carboxyl group that are identical. The "R-group" is different for each of the 20 amino acids.

Front 11

Dehydration Synthesis

Back 11

amino acids are bonded together by peptide bonds to form proteins. when two amino acids combine a water molecule is released.

Front 12

Function of Protein

Back 12

to build muscles
growth and repair
component of cell membrane
used to make enzymes
hormones
antibodies
hemoglobin
neurotransmitters

Front 13

Organization of proteins

Back 13

amino acids (simplest)
dieptide (two amino acids bonded together)
polypeptide (many amino acids bonded together)
protein (many polypeptides bonded together and held together by hydrogen bonds)

Front 14

Elements of Nucleic Acids

Back 14

CHONPS
carbons, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, and sulfur

Front 15

Nucleic Acids

Back 15

DNA- deoxyribonucleic acid
RNA- ribonucleic acid

Front 16

Function of Nucleic Acids

Back 16

to hold and pass on the genetic information of the cell

Front 17

Shape of DNA

Back 17

arranged in the form of a double helix and ultimately make up the chromosome
