Bio Macromolecules
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| organic compounds | compounds that contain carbon |
| how many valence electrons does carbon have? | 4 |
| How many strong covalent bonds can carbon make? | 4 |
| true or false: carbon can make single, double and triple bonds | TRUE |
| what forms a macromolecule | taking monomers and putting them together |
| protoplasm | makes up cells, building and breaking life's molecules |
| dehydration synthesis | (condensation reactions) removing H2O to synthesize two molecules together (this is how Macromolecules form) |
| take a minute to look and redraw all of the diagrams found in your notebook | did u do it? :) |
| hydrolysis | removing water to separate molecules |
| carbohydrates | molecules that contain C H and O, easy and cheap energy |
| monosaccharides | simple sugar, ring shaped, C6H12O6 |
| disaccarides | double sugar, C12H22O11 |
| polysaccharides | contains 3 or more monosaccharides |
| isomers | two or more compounds with the same formula but different arrangement of atoms |
| name 4 polysaccharides | starch, glycogen, chitin, cellulose |
| starch | energy storage compound (amalayze in plants, turns into glycogen in animals) |
| glycogen | stored energy in the liver |
| chitin | the exo skeletons of like crabs and stuff, second most abundant organic compound on earth |
| cellulose | most abundant organic compound on earth, part of plant structure |
| glucose+glucose= | maltose |
| glucose+fructose | sucrose |
| lipids | contains C H and O, are the most concentrated energy |
| what are the two building blocks of fats | fatty acids and glycerol |
| carboxyl | the part of the fatty acid that holds hands with glycerol |
| two parts of fatty acid | carboxyl and carbon |
| triglyceride | three fatty acids and glycogen |
| phospholipid | 2 fatty acids+glycerol+one PHOSPHATE |
| proteins | molecules that contain C, H, O and Nitrogen, and they are not a good energy source but are good for growth and repair |
| what are the "monomers" of protein | amino acids |
| amino acids join by joining what two things together? | carboxyl and amine |
| amino acids often end in | ine |
| strucure= | function of protiens |
| dipeptide bond | two proteins joined together |
| primary structure | sequence of amino acids |
| secondary structure | folded (beta pleated sheet) twisted (alpha helix) |
| tertiary structure | folded or twisted ontop of itself |
| quantitiarnary structure | 2 peptides joined together |
| fats do what, and what are their cell membranes called | they store energy, and the membranes are called myelin |
| saturated fat | solid (like butter or lard), straight molecules, stacked tight |
| unsaturated fat | liquid (like oils), DOUBLE BONDS, kinks and don't stack tightly |
