Carbohydrates
a sugar molecule that is a hydroxyl carbonyl group.
What is a carbohydrate?
fatty, oily, or waxy compounds that are insoluble in water.
What is a Lipid?
glycerol and fatty acids.
What are the components of a triglyceride?
a compound that forms proteins, and includes the functional groups carboxyl and amino.
What is an amino acid?
the sequence that the amino acids are bonded by peptide bonds
is a simple carbohydrate. Two examples include simple sugars like glucose and fructose.
What is a monosaccharide?
Carboxylic group (COOH), specically fatty acids.
What is the functional group of organic acids, which make up lipids?
a condensation reaction.
What is the reaction through which a triglyceride is formed?
a long chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.
What is a polypeptide?
when hydrogen bonds are formed between atoms in the polypeptide backbone, forming a folded back and forth shape or an alpha helix
What is the secondary structure.
A carbohydrate made of more than 2 sugar molecules bonded together
What is a polysaccharide?
Monomers join to form polymers through a process called dehydration synthesis, where water molecules are removed to bond the monomers together.
long-term energy storage, provide structure to cell membrane, and transport fat soluble vitamins in the body.
What are the functions of a lipid?
a class of lipid that forms cell membranes and are an essential part of life. They usually have a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails.
What is a phospholipid?
formed by amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.
What is how is a polypeptide formed?
In this stage it folds into a 3-D shape by folding the secondary stage shapes together with a single polypeptide chain.
What is the tertiary structure
Carbohydrates made up of 2 sugar molecules. Two examples are sucrose and maltose
What is a disaccharide?
a lipid that is saturated with hydrogen, with single bonds. It's state is a solid.
What is a saturated fat?
a complex accumulation of amino acids joined by peptide bonds. They have folds and turns.
What is a protein?
where the chains in tertiary structures continue to interact with more than two polypeptide chains.
What is the quaternary stage?
Starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
What are 3 examples of polysaccharides and their functions?
A fat that is not saturated with hydrogen and has a double bonds. It state is a liquid
What is a unsaturated fat?
A polyunsaturated fat also has multiple double bonds.
