| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| hydrocarbon structural forms | 1. chains (linear / branching) 2. rings |
| saturated hydrocarbon | h&c atoms bonded only with single bonds |
| unsaturated hydrocarbon | double/triple bonds between c atoms |
| hydrocarbon backbones create | lipids |
| hydrocarbon chem props | nonpolar / hydrophobic; held together exclusively by van der waals; require stabilization in aq enviro of cell |
| hydroxyl groups | form alcohols. polar. found in carbs, proteins, nucleic acids. |
| carbonyl groups | form ketones and aldehydes. polar. found in carbs. |
| carboxyl groups | form carboxylic acids (h+ attached) and carboxylates (- charged).. polar. found in proteins. |
| amino groups | form amines. polar. found in proteins and nucleic acids. proton acceptor - makes group basic & + charged. strong ionic interactions w carboxyl (-). |
| sulfhydryl groups | form thiols. slightly polar. found in proteins (cysteine). 2 covalently bond in oxidation rxn to form disulfide bridge in tertiary structure of proteins |
| phosphate groups | form phosphates. very polar & - charged. found in nucleic acids & phospholipids |
| methyl group | nonpolar :) |
