Question
Answer
Organic Compound   Contain C, usually H, and has covalent bonds.  
🗑
Carbohydrate   1C:1H2O ("watered carbon") "Chemical Energy"  
🗑
Monomers of carbohydrates   Monosaccharides "simple sugars" have 3-7 Cs, indicated by name. Tri-oses, pent-oses, hex-oses...  
🗑
2 monosaccharides combined by dehydration synthesis   Disaccharides  
🗑
3 examples of disaccharides   Sucrose= glucose + fructose (both hexoses) Lactose= glucose + galactose ("") Maltose= glucose + glucose  
🗑
Polysaccharides   10s to 100s of monosaccharides  
🗑
3 examples of polysaccharides   Cellulose (from plants. can NOT be broken down) Starch (from plants. CAN be broken down) Glycogen (from humans. Stored glucose chains)  
🗑
Lipid   18-25% body mass on lean adults. C, H, O (NOT 1C:1H2O/ NOT 2H:1O). Hydrophobic.  
🗑
3 forms of Fatty Acid Chains/fats or oils, structure, and examples.   1.Saturated (Each C has max H) ("bad fat"- solid at room temp- red meat,dairy).2. Monounsaturated (1 double bond in hydrocarbon chain/1 kink, "good fat"- olive oil, almonds, avos)3. Polyunsaturated (>1 double bond/>1 kink, "best fat"-fish+sunflower oil  
🗑
Turns unsaturated fatty acid into saturated fatty acid.   heat and pressure (does what to fat?)  
🗑
Lipids essential to human life, but not found in body. Give ratio.   Essential fatty acids (Omega 3s-flax seeds, fish oils, walnuts) (Omega 6s- bread, white rice, meat, eggs) Best ratio is 3:1. Cis-fat.  
🗑
Used to make phospholipids and triglycerides. Broken down to make ATP.   Fatty Acids  
🗑
2 structures of unsaturated fatty acids   Cis-fat (Hs on same side of C=C)(Nutritionally benificial) + Heat and Pressure (hydrogenation)= Trans-Fat (Hs on opposite side of C=C)(unhealthy.higher cholesterol)  
🗑
Bad type of cholesterol   LDL low density lipoprotein. Increased with more trans-fats. Transport cholesterol from liver to cells. In excess promotes thickening of artery walls.  
🗑
Good type of cholesterol.   HDL high density lipoprotein. Decreased with trans-fats. Removes excess cholesterol from cells, reducing blood cholesterol levels, and bring to liver for elimination.  
🗑
Phospholipid   2 fatty acid chains (uncharged means hydrophobic) and a phosphate group with N(+ charge means hydrophilic). Found in most cell membranes.  
🗑
Sterol   A hydroxal (alcohol,"-ol", -OH) group attached to the 4 carbon rings. Type of steroid including cholesteral, cortisol, bile salts, estrogen, testosterone, Vitamin D, and  
🗑
Proteins   Large, complex molecules containing C,H,O, and N, and maybe some S. Many roles.  
🗑
Catalyst proteins.   Enzymes  
🗑
% body mass is protein   12-18%  
🗑
Monomer of proteins.   Amino Acids (20 types)  
🗑
Structure of amino acids   An H and 3 groups attached to a central C. 3 groups: amino (base, -NH2) group, acid (carboxyl, -COOH) group, and a side chain.  
🗑
Unique chemical identity of an amino acid.   Side chain. 20 types.  
🗑
Process that breaks down proteins.   Hydrolysis / heat and pressure  
🗑
Term for loss of function and shape   Denaturation  
🗑
Enzyme structure and function   Apoenzyme (protein portion) and Cofactor (non-protein portion, usually a metal). Catalyst.  
🗑
Properties of enzymes   Under a variety of cell controls. Highly efficient (reactions 100mill-100bill x faster). Highly selective (each enzyme binds to specific substrates/reactant molecule).  
🗑
co-enzyme   works with the enzyme/catalyst. Is usually a vitamin.  
🗑
Nucleic acid structure, monomers, and location   Huge organic molecules (chains)containing H,C, O, N, and P, made of repeating nucleotides, found in a cell's nucleus. Hydrogen bonds stabilize the structure.  
🗑
2 Forms of nucleic acids   DNA (double stranded helix containing genetic info/made of genes) RNA (relays instructions from the genes to guide each cell's synthesis of proteins from amino acids, single stranded)  
🗑
Nucleotides of DNA   Adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine  
🗑
Nulceotides of RNA   adenine, uracil, guanine, cytosine  
🗑
Amino acids are held together by what?   Peptide bonds (covalent bonds between c of acid group and N of amino/base group)= proteins  
🗑
Phases of cellular metabolism   Anaerobic (Without oxygen, glucose only partially broken down into Pyruvic Acid and a couple ATP molecules) Aerobic (With oxygen, glucose is completely broken down into CO2 and H20 and the released E makes 36 or 38 ATP molecules)  
🗑
ATP   catabolized (exergonic reaction) to power cellular activities (endergonic reactions)  
🗑
