LD ORGANIC CHEM CH 4

LD ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - CHAPTER 4

QuestionAnswer
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Study of Carbon Compounds
BIOCHEMISTRY Study of chemistry in living things
ORGANIC "living matter" and containing Carbon and Hydrogen (Hydrocarbons)
INORGANIC Lack Carbon
INORGANIC MOLECULES/COMPOUNDS Water, Salt, Acid and Bases
WATER Universal solvent
SALT Important for proper growth of teeth and bones, regulate nerve responses
ACID Maintain pH balance
BASES Maintain pH balance
ORGANIC MOLECULES/COMPOUNDS Made up of CHON (Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic acids)
CARBOHYDRATES contain (CH2O - 1:2:1)
CARBOHYDRATES Sugars and starches provide energy from food.
MONOSACCHARIDES Simple Sugars (C6H12O6)
GLUCOSE Dextrose is always found in fluid surrounding cells to provide energy
FRUCTOSE Sugar in fruit
GALACTOSE Sugar in milk
DISACCHARIDES 2 simple sugars joined together (C12H22O11)
SUCROSE Glucose + fructose is table sugar
MALTOSE Sugar in corn syrup
LACTOSE Glucose + Galactose in milk
POLYSACCHARIDES Large complex sugars (C6H10O5) Starch in foods such as rice and potatoes
GLYCOGEN Starch stored in animals
CELLULOSE Starch stored in plants
DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS Joining of 2 simple compounds to form more complex compounds by taking out water
DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS Glucose + Glucose --> Disaccharide + H20
HYDROLYSIS Breaking up a more complex compounds by adding water to form 2 smaller molecules
HYDROLYSIS Disaccharide (Sucrose) + H20 --> Glucose + Fructose
LIPIDS Fats, Oils, & Waxes
LIPIDS 3 fatty acids and a glycerol
SATURATED FATS Deposit cholesterol in arteries and cause heart attacks (Milk, Milk products, and fatty meats)
UNSATURATED FATS Reduce the risk of a heart attack (Fish Oils, vegetable oils, margarine)
LIPOPROTEINS Blood proteins with high lipid content
HDL High density lipoproteins
HDL Remove cholesterol from blood and help excrete it from the body.
LDL Low Density Lipoproteins
LDL Deposit cholesterol on linings of the arteries
INORGANIC MOLECULES/COMPOUNDS Water, Salt, Acid, and Bases
ORGANIC MOLECULES/COMPOUNDS Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids
SUGARS AND STARCHES WHAT ARE CARBOHYDRATES MADE UP OF?
MONOSACCHARIDES WHAT ARE THE BASIC UNITS OF CARBOHYDRATES?
DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS When you join 2 smaller molecules together by taking out water?
HYDROLYSIS When you add water to a disaccharide and it breaks into 2 monosaccharides?
STARCH Example of a polysaccharide
CELLULOSE Starch stored in plant cells
GLYCOGEN Starch stored in animal cells
WHAT ARE LIPIDS MADE UP OF? Oils, fats, and waxes
BASIC UNIT OF A LIPID 3 Fatty acids and 1 glycerol
PROTEINS Contain nitrogen and are almost abundant in living things.
CELLULAR PROTEINS Cell membrane, chromosomes and muscle cells
NON-CELLULAR PROTEINS Blood plasma, cartilage, hair and nails
Food RICH IN PROTEINS Meat, Fish, Eggs, Cheese, Beans and Grains
AMINO ACID Basic unit of a protein - 20 different amino acids
STRUCTURE OF AN AMINO ACID Amino group NH2, Carboxyl Group (COOH), and Radical (proteins differ by kind, arrangement, and # of aa)
DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS OF A PROTEIN aa + aa --> dipeptide + H20 aa + aa + aa --> tripeptide + H20 Aa + aa + aa+ aa --> polypeptide + H20
NUCLEIC ACIDS Store heredity info, transmit it to the next generation & direct protein synthesis
NUCLEIC ACIDS COMPOSED OF DNA & RNA
DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid (found in nucleus, chromosomes, in mitochondria & chloroplasts)
RNA Ribonucleic acid (found in nucleus, cytoplasm, & ribosomes)
NUCLEOTIDE Basic unit of a nucleic acid composed of Sugar, Phosphate & Nitrogen Base
TWO TYPES OF NUCLEOTIDES Purines (2 Large rings) & Pyrmidines (1 ring)
PURINES 2 Larger rings - Adenine (A) & Guanine (G)
PYRIMIDINES 1 Ring - Thymine (T - Only in DNA), Cytosine (C) and Uracil (U - Only in RNA)
JAMES WATSON/FRANCIS CRICK Atomic Structure of DNA was founded in 1953
AMINO ACID Basic Unit of a protein
NH2 Represents the amino group in an amino acid
COOH Represents the Carboxyl group in an amino acid
PEPTIDE BOND The CHON bond formed between 2 amino acids that have been joined together to form a di-peptide
DNA & RNA Nucleic Acids are made up of.
NUCLEOTIDE Basic unit of DNA and RNA

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
