Review of biochem terms
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| molecules that contain both carbon and hydrogen | organic compound |
| molecules that do not contain both carbon and hydrogen | inorganic compound |
| ion in solution | electrolyte |
| substance that is a proton donor, has a pH of <7 | acid |
| substance that is a proton acceptor, has a pH of >7 | base |
| 0-14 range that is based on the amount of hydrogen ion present | pH scale |
| chemical that resists changes in pH | buffer |
| macromolecule made of C, H, and O, made of subunits are called monosaccharides and is used for quick energy by the body | carbohydrate |
| single sugar | monosaccharide |
| 2 monosaccharides attached together | dissacharide |
| long chains of monosaccharides | polysaccharide |
| macromolecule used for long term energy storage, made of C, H, and O. all are hydrophobic | lipid |
| subunit of triglyceride, long chains of carbon that can be saturated or unsaturated | fatty acid |
| three carbon alcohol that has three spots for fatty acids to bond to make a triglyceride | glycerol |
| weird hybrid lipid molecule that has a phosphate group instead of one fatty acid, makes up plasma membranes of a cell | phospholipid |
| group of lipids that all have cholesterol as a base on which hormones are build | steroid |
| macromolecule that is made of C, H, O, N, and S and is used as structural materials as well as enzymes and some hormones. Its subunits are amino acids | Protein |
| class of protein that makes up hair, skin, nails, and connective tissue | structural |
| class of protein that works as enzymes and hormones | functional |
| location on an enzyme where the substrates bond | active site |
| subunit of proteins | amino acids |
| group of protein molecules that catalyze reactions in the body, allowing them to take place at body temp. by lowering activation energy | enzyme |
| macromolecule that is made up of C, H, N, O, and P, it store cellular information and nucleotides are its subunits | nucleic acid |
| subunit of nucleic acid | nucleotide |
| nitrogen base in DNA and RNA that always binds to thymine | adenine |
| nitrogen base in DNA and RNA that always binds to cytosine | guanine |
| nitrogen base in DNA and RNA that always binds to guanine | cytosine |
| nitrogen base in DNA that always binds to adenine | thymine |
| nitrogen base in RNA that always binds to adenine | uracil |
| common energy currency for the cell | ATP |
