| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| hydrocarbons | non polar and hydrophobic only carbons and hydrogen |
| cis-trans(geometric) | double bond must be between carbon and a chain same moecular formula but different structures and properities |
| Cis-isomers | on the same side like x x c=c h h |
| trans isomers | opposite like h x c=c x h |
| enantomer | mirrior images of eachother |
| Hydroxyl | -OH also HO- Oxygen covelently attached to hydrogen when in a carbon chain is an alochol (polar covelent) |
| Carbonyl | Carbon Double bonded to a Oxygen, Polar name depended on location in the chain if in the middle named Ketone,One end aldeylde |
| Carboxyl | A Carbon Chain that has a Carboxyl group on it an ACID realeses hydrogen in solution to lower Ph. dont get it confused with a carbonyl + a hydroxyl |
| Amino | a Base, opposite of a carboxyl because it acts like a base bc it can take protons away and make it a postive charge |
| Sulfhydryl | somewhat Polar,Attached to carbon group called thiol Simular to hydroxyl, can make hydrogen bonds with water. Disulfide Bridge important with proteins (covelent ) |
| Phosphate | Makes a molecule an anion (-), can transfer energy between org chemicals acts like an acid |
| Mehtyl | a carbon with 3 hydrogens attached NONPOLAR only one usually has to do with gene expression and harmones |
| Carbs | Monosachrides (C6H12O6)(Glucose) Polysaccride(bond-Glysodisic Linkage)(cellulose) Storage -(plants-starch) (Animal -glycogen) Maltose OH OH Sucrose OH H H |
