Carbohydrate
How are elements in a carbohydrate arranged?
Hexagonal Ring Structure.
Functions in Carbohydrates?
Short-term energy source and storage.
What is proteins monomers?
Amino Acids
What do lipids do?
Gives us energy, makes the membranes inside us.
What are the building blocks of Nucleic Acids?
Nucleotide. sugar, phosphate group, nitrogenous base.
What is the Chemical Formula for glucose?
C6H12O6 Glucose
What is the difference between a Disaccharide and Polysaccharide?
A Disaccharide has 2 monomers, while a Polysaccharide has 3+ monomers.
How do you put Amino Acids together?
Through dehydration synthesis
What are hydrocarbon tails found in?
Cholesterol, fatty acids, phospholipids, etc
Why are Nucleic Acids important?
They carry genetic Material. Pass it from generation to generation.
What are the elements for carbohydrates?
Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O)
What is Monosaccharides?
Simple l-ring sugars, glucose and fructose?
what is the difference between Dehydration Synthesis & Hydrolysis?
Dehydration Synthesis loses water and forms a body, (put together) and Hydrolysis breaks apart, (adds water).
What do Phospholipids make up of?
The Cell Membrane.
What are the two different types of Nucleic Acids?
RNA & DNA
What is the monomer in carbohydrates?
Monosaccharides
What is Disaccharides?
Two Monosaccharides combined, sucrose & lactase.
What makes Amino Acids different?
The R chains/Side chains.
Why is fat non-polar?
It has a huge amount of energy.
What are the three parts of Nucleotides?
Phosphate, Deoxyribose or Ribose Sugar (5 carbon sugar) Base.
What is the polymers in Carbohydrates?
Disaccharides & Polysaccharides
What is Polysaccharides?
Polymers (MANY respecting Units) of Monosaccharides.
What are two examples that protein's form? (2 Structures)
Lactase (enzyme), Hemoglobin(blood), Insulin, Keratin, Myoglobin (muscles)
Why doesn't it mix if you throw fat in water ?
Since they are non-polar they don't like to grab onto water.
What are the letters for RNA & DNA?
RNA- Cytosine, Guanine, Adeline, Uracil.
DNA- Cytosine, Guanine, Adeline, Thymine.
