Chapter 2 part B

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Inorganic Compounds   No carbon. Water, Salts and many acids and bases  
🗑
Organic Compunds   Contain Carbon, Carbs, Fats, Proteins and Nucleic Acids  
🗑
Water   Accounts for 60%-80% of the volume of living cells.  
🗑
High Heat Capacity   Lot of energy to change to gas. Prevents sudden changes in temp.  
🗑
High heat of Vaporization   evaporation requires large amounts of heat. Useful cooling mechanism.  
🗑
Polar Solvent Properties   dissolves and dissociates iconic substances. More reactive in solutions.  
🗑
Reactivity   Necessary part of hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis reactions.  
🗑
Salts   are iconic compounds that dissociate into separate ions in water.  
🗑
Electrolytes   All ions are this because they can conduct electrical currents in solution.  
🗑
Acids   Are proton donors: they release hydrogen ion.  
🗑
Bases   Are proton acceptors: they pick up Hydrogen ions in solution.  
🗑
pH: Acid-base Concentration   pH scale is measurement of concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution.  
🗑
Acidic   Solutions have high hydrogen but low pH.  
🗑
Alkakine   solutions have low hydrogen but high pH  
🗑
Netralization   acids and bases are mixed together  
🗑
Buffers   resist abrupt and large swings in pH.  
🗑
Carbohydrates   include sugars and starches. Contain C,H and O  
🗑
Monosaccharides   Simple sugars containing 3-7 carbon atoms.  
🗑
Pentose Sugars   Ribose and Deoxribose  
🗑
Hexose Sugars   Glucose (blood Sugar)  
🗑
Disaccharides   Double Sugars, to large to pass through cell membrane, Sucrose , Maltose and Lactose.  
🗑
Polysaccharides   Polymers to Monosaccharides, Starch and Glycogen. Not very soluble.  
🗑
Lipids   Triglycerides or neutral fats, Phospholipids, Steroids, Eicosanoids.  
🗑
Triglycerides   called fats when solid and oils when liquid. Energy function, Insulation and Protection.  
🗑
Saturated fatty acids   All carbons are linked via single covalent bonds. Solid at room temp. Animal fats and butter  
🗑
Unsaturated fatty acids   Liquid at room temp. One or more carbons are linked via double bonds. Trans fats ans Omega-3 fatty acids  
🗑
Phospholipids   Modified Triglycerides. Head is polar attracted to water and tails are non-polar are repelled by water. Make up cell membrane.  
🗑
Steroids   Most important one is Cholesterol. Vitamin D and hormones and bile salts. Consist of 4 interlocking ring structures.  
🗑
Proteins   Comprise 20-30% of cell mass. Structural and chemical enzymes. Polymers of amino acids monomers held together by peptide bonds. Held together by 20 types of amino acids  
🗑
Protein Strucutre   Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Quaternary.  
🗑
Primary   Linear sequence of amino acids  
🗑
Secondary   how primary amino acids interact with each other.  
🗑
Alpha   Helix coils resemble a spring  
🗑
Beta   pleated sheets resemble accordion ribbons  
🗑
Tertiary   How secondary structures interact  
🗑
Quaternary   How 2 or more different polypeptides interact with each other  
🗑
Fibrous (structural) Proteins   Strand like water insoluble and stable. Provide mechanical support ans tensile strength. EX: Keratin, Elastin and Collagen.  
🗑
Globular (functional) Proteins   Compact, spherical, water soluble and sensitive to environment changes. EX: Antibodies, Hormones and Enzymes.  
🗑
Denaturation   Globular proteins unfold and lose theie functional 3-D shape. Can be caused by decreased pH or increased temp. Irreversible.  
🗑
Enzymes   Globular proteins that act as biological catalysts. Lower the activation energy for chemical reaction.  
🗑
Characteristics of Enzymes   Most functional enzymes, referred ti as Holoenzymes, consist of 2 parts. Act on a very specific substrate. Names usually end in ASE.  
🗑
Nucleic acids   Composed of C,H,O,N and P. Are the largest molecules in the body.  
🗑
Nucleic acid polymers   are made up of monomers called Nucleotide  
🗑
DNA   Genetic blue print for the synthesis of all proteins. Double stranded Helical Molecule located in cell nucleus.  
🗑
Purines   A adeine, G guanine  
🗑
Pyrimidines   C cytosine, T thymine  
🗑
Base paring rules   A-T and C-G  
🗑
RNA   Single stranded linear molecule s active mostly outside nucleus. Contains ribose sugar. Thymine is replace with Uracil.  
🗑
ATP   Chemical energy released when released when glucose is broken down is captured in ATP.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
