Question | Answer |
---|---|
Monosaccharide | Simplest form of carbohydrate, consisting of a single sugar unit building block for more complex carbohydrates |
triose | monosaccharides that contain 3 carbons |
isomer | a molecule that has the same composition as another but different arrangement of atom |
glycosidic bond | a bond between 2 monosaccharides |
hydrolysis reaction | water breaking energy released water is used anabolic (bigger to smaller |
dehydration Reaction | covalent bond between sub units formed by the removal of H and OH from functional groups of adjacent subunits energy is absorbed water realised. |
neutralization reaction | an acid and base react to form salt and water |
Redox reaction | reaction that involve the full or partial loss or gain of electrons LEO the lion goes GER |
polysaccharide | a molecule that contains many monosaccharides |
monomer | a small molecule that can bind chemically to other molecules |
polymer | a large molecule that is formed when monomers link to gather chemically |
cellulose | main component of plant cells its long strait and has very large numbers of poler hydroxyl groups |
starch | storage of energy |
lipids | non-polar macromolecule composed of mostly hydrocarbons |
triglycerides | composed of fatty acids and glycerol |
fatty acids | a long hydrocarbon chain with carboxyl group |
saturated fats | solid at room temp no double bonds found in most animal fat and butter (unhealthy) |
unsaturated fats | liquid at room temp has double bonds found in plants and fish (healthy) |
glycerol | has 3 carbons with hydroxyl groups |
phospholipid | composed of 1 glycerol 2 fatty acids and 1 phosphate group |
steroids | a lipid that is composed of four fused carbon rings |
cholesterol | essential for animal cell membranes and converts a number of compounds including vitamin D |
proteins structural function | bones muscles hair hooves |
proteins functional function | enzymes |
amino acids | the monomer of proteins |
primary structure | a polypeptide |
secondary structure | Beta- pleated sheets(fold) alpha- helix(coils)creating hydrogen bonds |
tertiary structure | side chains interact to fold the polypeptide in a unique way |
denaturation | extreme conditions that cause the bonds to break causing the protein to change its shape and lose function (heat< pH,salt ect) |
enzyme | a biological catalyst usually a protein that speeds up a chemical reaction |
