QuestionAnswer
____ are compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures and properties isomers
_______ have different covalent arrangements of their atoms structural isomers
______ have the same covalent bonds but differ in spatial arrangements cis-trans isomers
______are isomers that are mirror images of each other enantiomers
_________ are important in the pharmaceutical industry enantiomers
Two - of a drug may have different effects enantiomers
Usually only one ____ is biologically active isomers
Functional groups: Specific combination of bonded atoms Attached as a group to other molecules
Functional groups that are most important in the chemistry of life: Hydroxyl group Carbonyl group Carboxyl group Amino group Sulfhydryl group Phosphate group Methyl group
molecules with the same chemical formula are know as: isomers structural isomers stereoisomers
_____ molecules are mirror-images of each other. chiral
____is a very large molecule commonly created by polymerization of smaller subunits Macromolecule
Macromolecules: Resulting molecule is a polymer (many parts) Repeating units are called monomers
Lipid is ___ fat glycerol and fatty acids
carbohydrates has ___ polysaccharide monosaccharide
Protein has ____ amino acid polypeptide
nucleic acids has ___ DNA RNA nucleotide
Dehydration is: removal of water molecule used to connect monomers together to make polymers polymerization of glucose monomers to make starch
Hydrolysis is: addition of water molecule used to disassemble polymers into monomer parts digestion of starch into glucose monomers
Carbonhydrates range from small sugars to large polysaccharides, which are ___ marcomolecules
Molecules with a 1:2:1 ratio of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen. Examples are: sugars starch glucose
C – H ____ hold much energy covalent bonds
____ are good energy storage molecules carbonhydrates
Glucose + Glucose= maltose
Glucose + Glactose= lactose
Glucose + Fructose= sucrose
Contain two ______ joined during dehydration reaction monosaccharides
monosaccharides: single sugar molecule glucose ribose deoxyribose
Lipids and two main groups are: group of molecules that are insoluble in water phospholipids triglycerides
composed of 1 glycerol + 3 fatty acids triglycerides fats
Fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains which may be: saturated unsaturated polyunsaturated
unsaturated fats: plant oils contain double bonds prevented from solidifying at room temperature
saturated fats: maximum number of hydrogen atoms a single bonding between all carbons solid at room temperature
Triglycerides: an excellent molecule for energy storage store twice as much energy as carbohydrates animal fats are usually saturated fats and are solid at room temperature plant fats (oils) are usually unsaturated and are liquid at room temperature
Phospholipids -composed of: glycerol two fatty acids phosphate group
_____ contain polar “heads” and nonpolar “tails”. phospholipids
Phospholipids spontaneously form: micelles lipid bilayers
the basis of biological membranes: lipid bilayers
Such as cholesterols and the sex hormones are lipids with no fatty acids known as: sterols
They are long-chain fatty acids linked to long-chain alcohols, they repel water: waxes
Protein functions include enzyme catalysts defense transport support motion regulation storage
Proteins are polymers of ____ amino acids
amino acids: 20 different amino acids joined by dehydration synthesis
______ form between adjacent amino acids peptide bonds
Amino acid structure -central carbon atom surrounded by: amino group carboxyl group single hydrogen variable R group
Amino acids can be classified as: nonpolar polar charged aromatic special function
The shape of a _____ determines its function protein
Protein structure, primary structure= sequence of amino acids
Protein structure, secondary structure= interaction of groups in the peptide backbone
Protein structure, tertiary structure= folded shape of the polypeptide chain
What does inorganic molecules have and organic does not? Usually with + & - ions Usually ionic bonding Always with few atoms Often associated with nonliving matter
What does organic molecules have and inorganic does not? Always contain carbon and hydrogen Always covalent bonding Often quite large, with many atoms Usually associated living systems
What is true about Carbon Atoms? Contain a total of 6 electrons Only four electrons in the outer shell Very diverse as one atom can bond with up to four other atoms
Biological molecules consist primarily of: carbon bonded to carbon carbon bonded to other molecules
Carbon can form up to 4 ____ convalent bond
Carbon may be bonded to _______ with specific properties. functional groups
