QuestionAnswer
To split or break apart; release --lysis
To make something --synthesis
Many monomers hooked together make a Polymer
Means to lose or remove water; to take water away Dehydration
Means water (as in gaining water) hydro--
Building block or single unit of a polymer is a monomer
Hydrolysis is adding water into a molecule
Dehydration is Removing water from a molecule
The joining of two monomers causes a water molecule to be lost. The making of the polymer is called dehydration synthesis
The splitting apart of two organic molecules in a polymer and adding back the water parts to make individual monomers again is called Hydrolysis
The biomolecules that serve as a source of energy for us are commonly known as Carbohydrates
In what organ of your body would the splitting apart (hydrolysis) of these be occurring at a high rate right now? stomach and small organ
How many water molecules are lost when you join 114 amino acids together? 113
During dehydration synthesis if 42 water molecules are made how many monosaccharides were joined together to make the complex carbohydrate? 43
Sucrose, Glucose, and Fructose are examples of sugars. And are also part of what molecule? Carbohydrate
Carbohydrates are also known as monosaccharides. This can also be sugars. Glucose, Galactose, Fructose (OSE)
Lipids are made from fat. Examples of lipids are... Glycerol, fatty acids, and triglycerides (Oil, fat, butter)
Proteins (also known as amino acids) Alanine, cysteine, and amine group
Nucleic acids (Nucleotides) Can have a phosphate group
Define Reactent and Product Changing/gaining/losing molecules to create a new product.
Carbohydrates Monomer Monosacchorites
Carbohydrates Polymer Polysaccharites
Carbohydrates general structure CHO (Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen)
Carbohydrates examples Pasta, bread, rice
Lipids monomer no true monomer
Lipids polymer no true monomer
Lipids general structure CHO (Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen)
Lipids examples fat, oil, butter
Protiens monomer amino acids
Proteins polymer polypeptides
Proteins general structure CHON(S) (Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Sulfar)
Protein examples meat, beans
Nucleic acid monomer nucleotides
Nucleic acid polymer polynucleotides
Nucleic acid general structure CHON(P) (Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus)
Nucleic Acid funtions DNA & RNA, Transport genes
Protein functions Build muscle/strength, muscle tissue, Immune system, Enzymes
Lipids funtions Long term energy, insulation, make up cell membrane
Carbohydrates funtions short term energy, cellulose
Why is water a polar molecule? The oxygen has a negative charge and the hydrgogen have a positive charge
What type of chemical bonds give water its exceptional properties? Hydrogen bonds
What is it called when water molecules stick to another surface, such as xylem? Adhesion
What property of water makes it possible for water striders to skate above water? Cohesion
Cohesion definition the sticking together of particles of the same substance.
Adhesion definition the sticking together of particles of different substances.
What property describes a liquid's ability to resist external force? Surface tension
Why is water resistant to changing temperatures It has a high specific heat
How does water's specific heat affect the environment? It stabilizes temperatures
What do animals and plants rely on to cool them in warm temperatures? Evaporation cooling
The hydrogen and oxygen atoms are held together by _____ bonds hydrogen
The electrons are not shared equally creating a _____ molecule polar
Enzymes are the biological molecule (protiens) that act as catalysts in a living organism
Cataylst are a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction by reducing the amount of activation energy
Subtrates are the piece that connect to an enzyme
4 steps in the process of an enzyme working 1. The enzyme and substrate are in the same area 2. The enzyme grabs onto the substrate with a special area called the active site 3. A process called catalysis happens. Catalysis is when the substrate is changed 4. The enzyme lets go.
What happens when a enzyme and substrate let go of each other? The enzyme returns to normal, ready to do another reaction. The substrate is no longer the same. The substrate is now called the product.
An enzyme will not work if its ________ is changed enviornment
Protiens (including enzymes) will change shape as _____________ is changed temperature
Ph is a measure of how acidic or basic something is. the acidity can affect the enzymes
Inhibitors are molecules that either slow down or stop the activity of an enzyme.
Polar molecules are also hydrophilic
hydrophilic definition likes water
hydrophobic definition doesn't like water
Nonpolar molecules are also hydrophobic
Polar molecules have electrons that are _______ distributed unequally
Nonpolar molecules have electrons that are ________ distributed equally
Negative ions are hydrophilic
Positive ions are hydrophilic
Like disolves like means... nonpolar dissolves nonpolar or polar dissolves polar
Polar substances can interact with ______ and ________ substances positive;negaitve
polar substances CANNOT interact with __________ substances nonpolar
Water cannot mix with ________, but it can interact with___________ and/or hydrophilic/polar substances oil;water
Nonpolar substances can interact with_________ substances nonpolar
Nonpolar substances cannot interact with ________ substances polar
Oil cannot mix with __________, but it can interact with _______ water;oil
A peptide bond is A covalent bond between two amino acids
Levels of protien strutures. Primary, secondary, tertiary, Quaternary
Primary levelss have a peptide bond
Secondary level has Peptide bonds & hydrogen bonds
Tertiary levels have Peptide bonds, hydrogen bonds, R-Group Interactions, and Di sulfide Bridges
Quaternary level has Peptide bonds, hydrogen bonds, R-Group Interactions, and Di sulfide Bridges
