Membranes
Found as part of the cellular membrane, these contain both a hydrophobic region and hydrophilic region.
What are phospholipids?
This atom can form 4 covalent bonds with other atoms, so it's got that going for it...which is nice.
What is Carbon
The building blocks of carbohydrates (with an example).
What are monosaccharides? Ex: Glucose, galactose or fructose.
Fats and oils are examples of this type of lipid that is composed of one glycerol and three fatty acids.
What are triglycerides?
Polypeptides are polymers of these.
What are amino acids?
These proteins penetrate the core of the membrane.
What are integral proteins?
(A) Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen are the only elements found in these two molecules of life... (B) Throw in some Nitrogen, Sulfur, and phosphorus and you can make these other two molecules of life...
What are (A) Carbohydrates and Lipids and (B) Proteins and Nucleic acids.
The name of the bond that holds two glucose molecules together to form maltose.
What is 1,4 glycosidic bond. Also accept covalent bond.
A comparison of the energy content per gram of carbohydrates and lipids.
What is lipids contain approximately 2x the energy content per gram?
The part of the amino acid that gives it unique properties
What is the R group?
This is an example of passive transport, allowing a substance to flow from a high concentration to low.
Diffusion (or osmosis)
Alpha and beta glucose are an example of these kinds of molecules where they share a chemical formula, but have different arrangements of atoms.
What are structural isomers.
These bonds distinguish amylopectin from amylose by causing it to be branched.
What are 1,6 glycosidic bonds?
The BMI of someone who is 82 kg and 1.86 m tall.
What is 23.7? They are normal weight.
The complex 3D shape that forms due to interactions between the R groups of the amino acids present.
What is tertiary structure?
What is needed to transport ions against their gradient?
Energy - ATP
A definition of metabolism with a special mention to the little molecules that make it possible.
What is all the reactions that occur in an organism. Catalytic proteins called enzymes make metabolism possible.
The kind of cells starch could be found in.
What are plant cells?
Daily Double!!! The structural difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
What is sat. fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogens/no double bonds between carbons while unsat. fatty acids have at least one double bond between carbons?
Daily Double!!! A summary of what happens when a protein becomes denatured.
What is the protein loses its 3D shape. This results in the loss of function.
Which sort of fatty acid will allow greater fluidity of the cellular membrane during cooler temperatures?
Unsaturated.
Molecules that are not attracted to water, are non-polar and are not soluble in water. With an example!
What are Hydrophobic? Ex: Lipids
Highly branched carbohydrate found in animals.
What is glycogen?
This evidence from the nurse's health study supports the claim that trans fatty acids increase health risks.
What is swapping trans fats with cis-unsaturated fats greatly reduced the risk of CHD?
A reason why all individuals have a unique proteome.
What is proteins are coded by genes and any genetic differences will result in slightly different and thus unique proteins?
