Question | Answer |
---|---|
what are the functions of carbohydrates? | structure- cellulose energy store- starch energy source- glucose in respiration |
what are simple carbohydrates called? | monosaccarides |
what are the two types of glucose? | alpha and beta the H and OH are swapt around on each molecule. |
describe condensation | It links biological monomers together, in condensation: a water molecule is released and a new covalent bond is formed |
describe hydrolysis | splits larger molecules into their monomers in hydrolysis: a water molecule is used and a covalent bond is broken |
what are the bonds holding the glucose molecules together? | glycosidic bonds |
what are the bonds between the amino acids? | peptide bonds |
describe what a disaccharide is | a dissacharide is formed when two or more monosaccharides join together. |
describe what a polysaccharide is | a polysaccharide is formed when more than 2 monosaccharides join together. |
the sequence of amino acids that forms proteins | primary structure |
describe the secondary structure | the chain of amin acids coils and folds to form an alpha helix or a beta pleated sheet |
the final 3 dimensional shape of a protein is formed when the coils and pleats themselves coil and fold | tertiary structure |
