Carbohydrates
Compounds are made of these materials
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen (CHO)
Proteins are made of these things
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen CHON
What is a chemical reaction
a process that changes one set of chemicals into another
What is a lipid made of
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen CHO
Nucleic acids are made up of what
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus CHONP
The main source for the body to gain short term energy
The function of protein
They are the major structural molecules in living things for growth and repair
What is metabolism
A sum of all of the body's chemical reactions
The function of a lipid
source of stored energy that can be used in the future, insulate the body to maintain normal temp and cushion internal organs for protection. Make up cell membrane of all cells
What is their function
What is the building block of all your genes. Make up all the genetic structure that transmits hereditary info
This is the definition of Monomer
Monosaccharides-simple sugar molecules such as glucose, fructose and galactose
Protein is made of what?
Muscles, ligaments, tendons, bones, hair, skin and nails
the amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction
Activation energy
A fatty acid - long chains of hydrocarbons are called
Monomer
n/a
Definition of polymer
Chains of monosccharides, more complext sugars
Protein makes up 3 things
antibodies in the immune system, enzymes for helping chemical reactions, non steroid hormones
What are enzymes and how do they do they do?
Speed up chemical reactions in the cell, lower the temp needed for the reaction to occur, act as a catalyst
Types of polymers
triglycerides, phospholipids, and waxes. Chains of fatty acids and more complex fats
Types of nucleic acids are
Examples and their definitions of polymers are
Glycogen- stores in muscles and liver of animals
Starch-Stored in plants, energy storage
Cellulose found in the stalks of plants, provides strength and rigidity
Difference between monomer and polymer
M - 20 amino acids
P- polypeptides (proteins) chains of amino acids. The order of these determine shape and function of the protein
Factors that affect enzyme action
Temperature, Surface area, ph
What are the types of lipids
Saturated fats
Unsaturated fats
Difference between DNA and RNA
double helix, double stranded genetic code of organisms
single helix, single stranded genetic code of organisms
