What is the monomer for a protein and what bond do they make between the monomers?
Amino Acids
peptide
200
What makes water polar?
electrons are not evenly shared
200
What element is the building block for carbs, proteins, lipids and N.A? It is in all cells
why?
Carbon
can form 4 bonds, very strong
200
What is hydrolysis?
A chemical reaction in which water is used to break down a compound; this is achieved by breaking a covalent bond in the compound by inserting a water molecule across the bond.
200
Structure of Lipids
Glyceral Head / Fatty acid chains
200

Amino group
R group
Carboxyl group
300
Why is water the universal solvent?
Can seperate many molecules due to its poles like salt, sugar, etc.
300

In a dehydration reaction, _____ are linked together to form _____.
monomers, polymers
300
Difference between Saturated vs unsaturated lipids, examples of each
Oil - un
butter - sat.
All bonds are filled with H on the fatty acid chains
300
What part of the monomer can have properties that are hydrophobic, hydrophilis or ionic?
R group
400
What causes water's surface to have tension?
The bonds between the molecules are strong
covalent, don't want to breaktakes a lot of heat or movement to break seal
400
What is the monomer of a complex carbohydrate?
sugar, glucose
400
Cohesion vs. adhesion
Cohesion: Water is attracted to water, and Adhesion: Water is attracted to other substances.
400
Describe how lipids help the cell
Phosolipid bilayer - nonpolar molecules
hydrophobic tails that are nonpolar and hydrophilic heads that interact with water because they are polar
400
Describe the different structures of proteins
1. primary - single strand A.A. peptide bonds
2. secondary - sheets or helix
3. 3D structure - R groups interacting - S bonds, hydrophobic rings
4. multiple strands put together
