  • Front
  • Back

It is made up of Phospolipids

Cell membrane

The removal of water links the monomer and turns it into polymers forming new bond

Dehydration

Adding water, breaks longer molecules turning them into shorter molecules forming monomers

Hydrolysis

Basic unit of Carbohydrates

Monosaccharides

Most common monosaccharide

Glucose

Forms by the glycosidic linkage

Disaccharides

3 - 10 monomers chains sometimes sometimes attached to protein forming glycoprotein

Olygosaccharides

Examples of monosaccharides

Ribose, glucose, and fructose

A special monossacharides, sugar present in DNA molecule

Ribose

It is a simple sugar

Monosaccharides and Disaccharides

Provides energy in sprouting seeds; beer brewers also use it to promote fermentation

Disaccharide maltose or maltose

Are long chains of carbohydrates, support cells and organisms (cellulose, chitin); store energy (starch, glycogen)

Polysaccharides

Major component of the tough wall of plant cells

Cellulose

Cellular structure know as

Plastids

It is a monomer of Glucose

Glycogen

It is composed of amyloplast

Starch

The 2nd most common polysaccharides, forms the exoskeleton of anthropods

Chitin

It is important in Immunity. It is also composed of protein and carbohydrate chains that are found in blood.

Glycoproteins

It is the formation of glycogen that can be found in our liver and the muscle cells of animals.

Glycogenesis

Is the process of glycogen breakdown that occurs in the liver and hormones are glycogon and ephinephrine

Glycogenolysis

Is the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate also occurs in the liver and kindney

Gluconeogenesis

Organic Compounds with one property in common, a non-polar

Lipids

Two groups of Lipids

Triglycerides and steriods

More commonly known as fats

Triglycerides

Are another class of lipids. They have a four-ring structure

Steriods

What can be formed when a removal of water occurs?

triacyglycerol

Single bonds connect all the carbon and each carbon has two hydrogens -- Bacon fat and butter are example of this

Saturated Fatty Acid

Has at least one double bond between carbon atoms -- example of this is an Olive oil

Unsaturated Fatty Acid

Are unsaturated fats whose fatty acid tails are straight and not kinked - common in fast foods

Trans Fat

Forms most of the fat in human adults

Adipose Tissue

Formation of lipids, breakdowns of fats

Lipogenesis

Obtains energy from fats

Lipolysis

Converted into fatthy acyl CoA

Fatty Acid oxidation

Is a chain of monomers called amino acids

Protein

Creates identical DNA strands

Replication

Works in Nucleus and ribosomes

Protein synthesis

Converts DNA into messenger RNA

Transcription

Decodes DNA into mRNA into amino acids forming protein essential for the fuctions

Translation

Large proteins are broken into smaller pieces called, happens in small intestine

Proteolysis

Excess ammonia in the body produces urea in the

Urea Cycle

Are produced from the breakdown of Amino Acids

Ammonium ions

Binds to amino acids together forming dipeptide (covalent bond & peptide bond)

Dehydration reaction

Dipeptides and polypeptides break down into individual amino acids

Hydrolysis Reaction

This sequence determines all subsequent structural levels - sequence of a polypeptide chain

Primary Structure

These interactions fold the chain of amino acids into coils, sheets and loops - hydrogen bond

Secondary Structure

The bond between amino acid

Peptide Bond

Break down of amino acid takes place in the ____ and ___ of the ___ and ___

Mitochondria, cytoplasm; Liver, cells

Present in pancreatic Hormone - Primary structure

Insulin

Delivers to the muscle cells -- it is composed of tertiary structure

Myoglobin

Structures result from interactions between multiple polypeptide subunits of the same protein

Quaternary structure

Example that exhibits quaternary structure

Collagen and Hemoglobin

Fibrous protein that has a three-identical helical polypeptide

Collagen

The oxygen binding protein of red blood cells. Is a globular protein that consists of four polypeptide heme

Hemoglobin

It disrupts the hydrogen bond that maintains protein shape

Heat

What are the protein types and functions?

Hormonal Proteins (coordination of organism activities); Structural Protein (support); Transport proteins (transport of substances); Defensive Proteins (protection against disease); Enzymatic Proteins (selective acceleration of chemical reaction); Receptor Proteins (response of the cell to chemical stimuli); Contractile (Movement)

Are proteins that act as a catalyst to speed up chemical reaction

Enzymes

Factors affecting enzyme activity

Concentration, pH and temperature

A digestive enzyme in the human stomach

Pepsin

A digestive enzyme residing in the more alkaline environment

Trypsin

The energy required to change the reactant

Activation Energy

Carry genetic Information - nucleotides

Nucleic Acid

Three parts of nucleotides

Phosphate, Nitrogenous bases, five carbon sugar

Metabolism

Consist of sugar, one or more phosphate groups and one of several nitrogenous base

Nucleotide

Double Helix Structure

DNA

Single-stranded
