Organic Molecules123
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where long-chain fatty acids bond with long-chain alcohols. | Waxes- Come from fruit coatings and bees |
| How do functional groups relate to organic molecules? | They determine polarity and the types of reactions organic molecules will undergo |
| Membrane components of the plasma membrane that have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails | Phospolipids |
| Glucose and Galactose are monomers that make up this | Lactose |
| These molecules contain both carbon and hydrogen. | Organic molecules |
| Precursor of several other steroids such as the sex hormones; essential component of an animal cell's plasma membrane | Cholesterol |
| Lipids that have completely different structures from fats. These have skeletons of four fused carbon rings. | Steroids |
| Building Blocks of Proteins | Amino Acids (20 different ones are present in humans) |
| General long-term energy storage (Components: Glycerol and Fatty acids) | Triglycerides |
| What are the four types of amino acids attached to the alpha carbon? | -NH2 (amino group) -COOH (acidic or carboxyl group) R (remainder of the molecule) -SH (sulfhydryl) |
| This organic molecule supports, transports, defends, and moves. | Proteins (Ex: Enzymes, Hormones) |
| How do functional groups relate to organic molecules? | They determine polarity and the types of reactions organic molecules will undergo. |
| What are the 4 classes of organic molecules? | Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids |
| What is a specific combination of bonded atoms that always reacts in the same way, regardless of the particular carbon skeleto | Functional group |
| What are organic molecules that have identical molecule formulas but a different arrangement of atoms? | Isomers |
| Because of their large size carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids are these. | Macromolecules |
| What is a carbon chain of an organic molecule that helps account for a molecule's shape? | Carbon skeleton |
| Why are organic molecules so dissimilar and complex? | Because carbon is quite small and has FOUR valence electrons. (Is flexible to go one way or the other) |
| These subunits link together forming polymers. | Monomers |
| The largest type of macromolecules. | Polymers |
| Equivalent of a water molecule being removed. | Dehydration reaction |
| In this reaction water is used to break the bond holding subunits together | Hydrolysis reaction |
| Carbohydrates that are polymers of Monosaccharides, serve as storage molecules. | Polysaccharides |
| Molecule that speeds up reactions by bringing reactants together | Enzymes (May participate but is unchanged by it) |
| Carbohydrates that contain two Monosaccharides that have been bonded together. | Enzymes (May participate but is unchanged by it) |
