AP BIO ch 2-5 test

QuestionAnswer
sulfhydryl group, compounds, functions, example functional group- SH compounds: Thiols ex: amino acid cysteine function- strong covalent bonds/cross linking groups called disulfide bridges stabilizes protein structure can help maintain hair structure increased polarity, Greactivity, solubility
Carboxyl group, compounds, functions, example functional group- COOH compounds: carboxylic acids/organic acids ex: citric acid function- increased reactivity, solubility, reactivity acts as an acid/Lowers pH/can donate H+ negative charge found in cells in ionized form
Phosphate group, compounds, functions, example functional group:PO4 (2O-. O. double O) compounds: organic phosphates (ATP) functions- reacts with water which releases energy, contributes neg charge to molecule, inc polarity, reactivity, solubility, transfers energy from 1 molecule to another
Amine group, compounds, functions, example functional group-: NH2, ex: methylamine compounds=amines functions-: acts as base/increases pH, takes in H+ from surrounding solution found in cells in ionized form increased reactivity, polarity, solubility
Carbonyl group, compounds, function, example functional group -H, double bond O (acetone) compounds, ketone/aldehyde, structural isomers, diff properties ald- on end of molecule, ket- mid of molecule both are found in sugars, influence ring structure, increase solubility, reactivity, polarity
Methyl group, compounds, function, example functional group: H3 compounds- methylated compounds (methanol) functions: non polar, effects gene expression, effects shape/function of sex hormones
hydroxyl group, compounds, function, example functional group, OH compounds: alcohols, ex- ethanol functions: increases solubility, reactivity, polarity helps dissolve organic compounds, found in alcohols
solute substance that is dissolved
solvent dissolving agent
receptor proteins allow certain molecules to bind (to signaling molecules) and cause/trigger a reaction in a cell.
RNA makes proteins, is a chain ribose sugars
DNA stores hereditary information for making proteins and RNA double helix/antiparallel 2 identical copies of each deoxyribose
cellulose (type, function) type of polysaccharide- structural support in plants and component of cell wall. We can't break this down, found in fresh fruits/vegetables/whole grains
chitin (type, function) type of polysaccharide -structural support in arthropods and cell wall material in fungi (exoskeletons/crustaceans)
hormonal proteins coordination of an organism's activities insulin regulates blood sugar
lipids (2 basic structural components, bonds, ratio, ex) diverse group of hydrophobic molecules glycerol/fatty acid chains example: fats/oils all non polar/mix poorly with water if at all C:H:O-1:2:very little form ester linkages/bonds
Carbs (ratio, purpose, example) sugars/polymer of sugars fuel/building materials C:H:O 1:2:1 example- starch
nucleotide (3 components, elements) monomer of nucleic acids nitrogen containing base, 5 carbon sugar, one or more phosphate groups elements: CHNOP
glycogen (type, function) type of polysaccharide- energy storage In animals (liver/muscle)
amino acids (elements, function, commonalities) 20 different ones (r groups) usually CHNO all have an NH2 terminus and a COOH terminus end
hormones in cells chemical communication within multicellular organisms (sex hormones)
starch type of polysaccharide- energy storage in plants, enables plants to store surplus glucose
steroids: cholesterol lipid- temp buffer in cell membranes, helps maintain fluidity
transport proteins transports molecules across cell membranes. hemoglobin in RBC that carries O2 or "doorways" through the cell membrane to allow big molecules through.
nucleic acids (elements/ def/ bonds) transmit and help express hereditary info (DNA and RNA) CHNOP form phosphodiester linkages
primary protein structure linear sequence of amino acids determines how protein will fold/ its function peptide bonds
secondary protein structure hydrogen bonds between amino acids form alpha helices and beta sheets
tertiary protein structure folds into a compact globular shape with carbon amino acids away from the water (disulfide, hydrogen, ionic, van Der waals forces).interactions between amino acids
quaternary protein structure interactions between 2 or more polypeptide chains, can come together to form a functional molecule (van Der Waals, hydrogen, ionic, disulfide)
intramolecular vs intermolecular intra in one molecules inter between 2 molecules
isotopes different atomic forms of the same element, differ in neutrons
cohesion when water molecules link together by hydrogen bonds (helps transport water against gravity in plants)
adhesion when water molecules link to cell walls by hydrogen bonds (helps counter the downward pull of gravity)
Staley millers experiment a closed system meant to mimic conditions of the early earth found that organic molecules may have been synthesizes abiotically on the early earth
buffer substance that minimizes changes in pH
structural isomer differ in arrangement of their atoms
geometric isomer differ in spacial arrangement due to inflexibility of double bonds
enantiomer isomeer mirror images of each other
dehydration synthesis the forming of bonds through the release of a water molecule each molecules contributes part of the water molecules
hydrolysis the breaking of bonds through the addition of water
Monosaccharides examples glucose, fructose, galactose
Disaccharides examples sucrose maltose lactose
polysaccharides examples starch, cellulose, glycogen, chitin
chaperonin keep new polypeptides segregated from bad influences in an environment when it holds spontaneously.
ionic bonds electrons are given or taken
what does it mean when water dissociates when a H atom in a hydrogen bond between 2 water molecules shifts from one atom to the other leaving its electron behind.
evaporative cooling liquids, primarily water from sweat or panting, turn into vapor, absorbing heat from the body and lowering its temperature,
van Der Waals forces weak, temporary attractions between molecules, crucial for holding together nonpolar parts of biomolecules (hydrophobic interactions) allowing geckos to climb, weaker than hydrogen bonds or covalent bonds.
non polar vs polar polar- uneven distribution of charge (one molecule is more electronegative) non polar- even distribution of charge
