Hydrolysis and Dehydration
Functional Groups
100

Monosaccharides; "sugar rings"; main fuel molecules for cellular work; also used in other macromolecules

Monomer (Sugars) 

100

starch and glycogen 

Main energy storagers in carbohydrates 

100

Is the polymer lipid hydrophilic or hydrophobic? 

Mostly hydrophobic (non polar) 

100

means break with water (your body needs water in order to break down chemicals); sucrose + water; disaccharide+water 


Hydrolysis 

100

amino groups are found within amino acids, the building blocks of proteins; ----N---H2 

Amino

200

Carboxyl group (-COOH) & hydrocarbon chain; saturated vs unsaturated; Trans-fats 

Monomer (Fatty Acid) 

200

Cellulose and chitin 

Indigestible in carbohydrates 

200

Polypeptides; carry out almost all dynamic functions; includes enzymes, structural proteins and channels 

Polymer Protein 

200

glucose+Fructose; Monosaccharide+Monosaccharide; stabilize with water 

Synthesis

200

groups are found within amino acids; ---C---H3

Methyl 

300

20 amino acids; 9 essential amino acids; polar vs nonpoalr; these are what DNA actually code for 

Monomer (Amino Acids) 

300

Is Carbohydrates hydrophobic or hydrophilic? 

hydrophilic (polar) 

300

What are the structures of the polymer protein? 

primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary 

300

means to break chemical bond/needs water 

Sucrose (synthesis) 

300

phosphate groups are found within phospholipids and nucleotides; ----P---O42- 

phosphate 

400

phosphate group+ five carbon sugar+nitrogenous base 

DNA=A, T, C, G 

RNA= A, U, C, G 

hydrogen bond "zipper" 

ATP (Adenosine Triphospahte) 

Monomer (Nucleotide) 

400

three important polysaccharides are ? 

1. Starches 

2. Glycogen 

3. Fiber 

400

removing water to combine them 

peptide bond 

400

are polar. they are components of all four types of organic compounds discussed in this chapter. They are involved in dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions. contains ---O--H 

Hydroxyl 

400

includes glucose and lactose 

Monomers vs dimers 

500

Polysaccharides; energy storage and structural compounds

Polymer Carbohydrates 

500

long term energy storage and membranes; don't follow the mono poly rules as closely as other macromolecules; Fats and oils 

Polymer Lipid 

500

DNA/RNA; genetic information; Replication, Transcription, & Translation, the "double helix" 

Polymer Nucleic Acid 

500

are found within fatty acids, amino acids, and many other acids. O----C----OH 

Carboxyl 

500

glucose + fructose =

glucose + galactose=

glucose + glucose=

- sucrose, lactose, maltose
