study of structure
What is anatomy?
atoms in a molecule transfer or share e- in their outermost shell
What is a chemical bond?
A+B=AB
What is a synthesis reaction?
simple sugars, building blocks of complex carbs, C3-C7
What are monosaccharides?
made up of amino acids
maintenance of a relatively constant or stable environment within the body
What is homeostasis?
opposite-charged ions are attracted to one another and exchange electrons
What is an ionic bond?
What is anabolic?
the ratio at which all carbohydrates occur
What is Cn H2n On?
linear amino acid sequence
What is the primary structure?
a small structure contained within a cell that performs one or more specific functions
What is an organelle?
unequal sharing, molecule has + and - regions
What is polar covalent?
water is a product
What is a dehydration reaction?
two simple sugars joined by glycosidic bond
What is a disaccharide?
3D conformation/shape, fibrous (ropelike) vs. globular (spherical)
What is the tertiary structure?
reversing a change to keep a variable within a normal range
What is negative feedback?
weak attraction between H and an element on another molecule or within the same molecule
What is Hydrogen Bond?
substance that increases the rate at which reaction proceeds without being permanently change or depleated
What is a catalyst?
glucose + glucose
What is maltose?
subunit association, interaction between polypeptide chains
What is the quaternary structure?
the inner wall of the serous membrane that touches the organ
What is visceral layer?
atoms with the same #p and e but different #n
What are isotopes?
amount of energy required to start a reaction
What is activation energy?
plant structural CHO (in CW), non-digestible by humans, aka fiber which irritates the intestines to help digestion
What is cellulose?
altering a protein shape, loss of 2° and 3° due to temperature or pH changes, cause loss of function
What is denaturing?
