Wickity What?
List and describe the 3 structures of proteins
Primary (linerar),
Secondary (twisted ladder),
Teritiary (coils and pleats)
what is the different meanings of the word organic
organic in a scientific terms means, made with CARBON. Ecological terms organic means NOT made with insecticides, pesticides, antibiotics, fed natural food
What is glycerol used for in the body?
Glycerol is a three-carbon substance that forms the backbone of fatty acids in fats.
Monomers are amino acids, what is the polymer?
proteins
what are Amino acids are held together by ?
Peptide bonds
Where does phosphodiester linkage occur?
the phosphodiester bond is the linkage between the 3' carbon atom of one sugar molecule and the 5' carbon atom of another, deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA.
Phospholipid is made up of?
Phosphate head that is polar or hydrophilic Fatty acid tails which are non-polar or hydrophobic
What is an example of a condensation reaction?
An example is the Dieckmann condensation, in which the two ester groups of a single diester molecule react with each other to lose a small alcohol molecule and form a β-ketoester product.
what does ATP stand for?
adenosine triphosphate
what is dehydration synthesis
Dehydration synthesis refers to the formation of larger molecules from smaller reactants, accompanied by the loss of a water molecule.
Name 3 polysaccarides
Cellulose, Glycogen, Starch
What are H bonds?
A hydrogen bond is a partial intermolecular bonding interaction between a lone pair on an electron rich donor atom, particularly the second-row elements nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine, and the antibonding molecular orbital of a bond between hydrogen and a more electronegative atom or group.
saturated fats?
Saturated fat is a type of dietary fat. It is one of the unhealthy fats, along with trans fat.
What are the monomers of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids
monosaccarides, amino acids, fatty acids, and nucleotides
What is the function of DNA and RNA
DNA holds our genetic material and RNA helps to make/synthesize proteins
What is glycosidic linkage
Glycosidic bonds are covalent bonds formed between a sugar molecule, or carbohydrate and -OR group
List 2 polysaccarides found in plants
starch and cellulose
Function of this macromolecule is to provide the framework or scaffolding of the cell
proteins
Unsaturated fats?
An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is one or more double bond in the fatty acid chain.
Is Ms. Parker a good teacher?
Yes
Monomer of nucleic acids are?
Nucleotides
What are ester linkages
In an ester molecule, the bond connecting the atom doubly bonded to oxygen and the oxygen atom bearing the alkyl or aryl group is called the ester bond or, in biochemistry, ester linkage
What does RNA stand for
Ribonucleic acid
An attribute of all proteins, is denaturation, explain this process
when proteins or enzymes are exposed to high temperature or extreme chemicals these extreme situations permanently change the proteins function, it no longer works properly
List the 4 macromolecules and list their function in the body
Carbs-energy, support, cell to cell recognition Proteins: structure of cells Lipids: extra energy resource, water control Nucleic Acids: Holds genetic information and assists with the production of proteins
