Ch 3: Water
Compounds that have the same molecular formula but have different structures, resulting in different chemical and molecular properties.
structural isomers
How do you get from a monomer to a polymer?
add water
add carbon
remove water
remove carbon
remove water
a single unit of macromolcules
monomer
What does glucose + glucose give you?
Maltose
Organic molecules made of only carbon and hydrogen:
Carbohydrates
Hydrocarbons
biomolecules
cells
Name three monosaccharides
Glucose
Galactose
Fructose
what are lipids used for?
insulation, long term energy source
Molecules that are mirror images of each other. Usually involve an asymmetric carbon.
enantiomers isomer
What is monomer for Lipids?
The amount of energy needed to raise one (1) gram of water one (1) oC
4.18 Joule or 1 Calorie
A hydrogen atom bonded to an oxygen atom that is very polar, allowing the material to be hydrophillic. They form alcohols. (-OH)
hydroxyl
what are phospholipids made up of?
glycerol, 2 FA, phosphate
A reaction that involves addition of water molecule to break bonds between polymers
hydrolysis
Group with a carbon double bonded to an oxygen and a hydroxyl group. They are acidic and make up Carboxylic Acid. Sometimes written as (-COOH)
carboxyl
What bond holds 2 monosaccharides together?
glycosidic linkage
What is a monoglyceride?
glycerol + 1 FA
What links fatty acids with glycerol?
ester linkage
