high affinity to water
What is Hydrophilic?
Hydrogen and carbon bond makes a...
What is a hydrocarbon?
What are the 4 types of large biological molecules?
carbohydrate, protein, lipids, nucleic acids
What are Macromolecules?
Very large molecules composed of repeated subunits connected w/ covalent bonds
Where did Lee go abroad last semester?
Korea
A substance that can no longer be broken down into another substance w/ chemical reaction
What is Element?
Smallest unit that can be identified as a specific element
What is Atom?
What of the 4 Biomolecules are/is not considered a true polymer? And Why?
Lipids because it does not have one repeated subunits, but two (fatty acids & glycerol)
What are the subatomic particles that determine the element of the atom?
Protron, Neutron, & Electron
What sport does Sang play?
Tennis
Degree in which an atom attracts electrons
What is Electron Affinity?
Ionic, covalent, and hydrogen bond (side question: Which one is weaker)
What are the three types of chemical bonds?
What are the two functions of carbohydrates?
Storage & Structure
What do you call two Monosaccharides that are covalently linked together?
Disaccharide
Who from student staff has been Michel's roommate at St. Olaf?
Sang, Cheng, & Isaiah
When the one atom’s end has a slightly positive charge, and the other a slightly negative at its end
What is Polar covalent bonds?
When a positive and negative ion (charged atom) attract each other due to their opposing sides
What is Ionic Bond?
What are the main six elements that make 98% of living matter?
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphrous, & Sulfar
What is Monosaccharides and how much carbon does it contain?
Monosaccharides:
Single sugar molecule
Contain 3 to 6 carbons
What is Cheng's favorite current Anime?
86
An amphipathic (act as an acid or base) molecule that contains a polar (water-loving) head and nonpolar (water-avoiding) tails?
What are/is Phospholipids?
A molecule that is a combination of a short chain of monosaccharides attached to a long chain of amino acids that folds together in a unique configuration; this unique shape allows for this molecule to sometimes function as a specific key for a specific lock. (I want the scientific name).
What is Proteins (glycoprotein)?
What are the two outcomes when atoms interact?
One: one of the atoms takes and gains enough electrons to fill the outer electron shell
Two: one of the atoms loses electrons till it’s outer shell is broken
Either way, one atom will become stable
What is Hydrolysis reaction?
Disaccharide splitting back to monosaccharides (add water to disaccharide)
How many times did Cindy changed her major?
once
