Biochem

QuestionAnswer
organic compound has carbon and hydrogen in it
inorganic compound doesn't have carbon and hydrogen
organic molecules carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids
inorganic molecules acids,bases,water and salt
carbohydrates simple sugars and starches (made of CHO)
Carbohydrates basic unit monosaccharides or simple sugars
monosaccharides glucose, frusctose, galactose all have the same chemical formula C6H12O6 but atoms are arranged differently
Diasaccharides lactose, maltose, and surcose
Polysaccharides (starches) cellulose and glycogen
starches in plants cellulose
starches in animals glycogen
lipids fats, oils and waxes (made up of CHO), cushion body, insulates
Lipids basic unit 3 fatty acids, and 1 glycerol
2 types of fats unsaturated and saturated
saturated fats usually come from animals, solid at room temp, increase cholesterol
unsaturated fats usually come from plants liquid at room temp, tend to decrease bad cholesterol.
protiens build and repair damaged cells (made of CHON) and some have S & P
Protiens have nitrogen
protiens basic unit amino acid
peptide bond CHON bond, joins to amino acids together by taking out water
Dehydration synthesis putting together by taking out water
Hydrolysis breaking apart by adding
Polypeptide a protien; many amino acids joined together
Nucleic acids DNA and RNA
Nucleic acid basic unit nucleotide (contains a phosphate group, sugar, and nitrogenous base)
Nitrogenous bases Adenine and Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine.
Polymer Large molecules consisting of chains of repeating unit (polysaccharides and polypeptides)
Enzymes (catalyst) always made from protiens, speed up reactions and lower activation energy for a reaction.
Coenzymes vitamins, a
3 factors that affects enzymes temp, pH, and amount of concentration.
Denature due to increased temperature the enzyme breaks down and changes its shape so that it doesn't fit the substrate.
