2cd Exam Flashcards
Carbon always has how many bonds total
Four
Carbon can receive and donate
Electrons
Alkanes
Completely saturated with hydrogens, single bond
Hydrocarbons
Hydrogen and carbon, saturation of hydrocarbons refers with only single bonds between carbons and are saturated with hydrogen
Alkenes
Have a set of carbons with a double bond and are NOT saturated w carbon
Alkynes
Have at least one set of triple bonds are NOT saturated with carbon
Aromatic rings
Six carbons with alternating double bonds one hydrogen, base ring with hydrogen only called a benzene
Substitutions in places of the hydrogen atoms with…
Hydroxyl groups (OH) constitutes alcohol
Alkanes name methane
Methanol had 1 carbon atom
Alkanes name ethane
Ethanol 2 carbon atoms
Alkanes name propane
Propanol has 3 Carbon atoms
Alkanes name butane
Butane 4 carbon atoms
Isomer
Same molecular formula but different chemical structure: same number of atoms but different arrangement, especially true of organic
Two types of isomers
Structural and stereoisomers
Chiral
4 different groups attached
Single bonds between carbons allow rotation along axis
Trans opposite side
Cis is same side
Animals fats
Cis isomers naturally
Solid at room temp
Unsaturated = cis
Vegetable oils
Some trans form
Liquid room temp
Carbonyl groups in aldehydes and ketones
Are oxygen atoms attached to carbon atoms w a double bond
L isomers of amino acids and D isomers of sugars
Are the only ones animals can utilize and form glucose
Enzymes convert acetaldehyde into
Acetic acid or it’s ionized salt form acetate
Amines
Organic derivatives of ammonia (NH3), substituting one or more hydrogens with an akyl (R) group or an aromatic group
Primary amine
One R group
Secondary amine class
Two r groups
Tertiary amine group
Three r groups
Ammonia mixed with water
Steal hydrogen from water forming an ammonium action and hydroxide anion. Mixed w acid ammonia will Take a hydrogen and form a SALT with acid anion. Ammonia acts like a base
Most important quaternary amine in body
Choline
One of Most important neurotransmitter in body
Acetylcholine
What breaks up Esther bonds
Hydrolysis
Tyr
Tyrosine and it’s neurotransmitter is Epinephrine
Trp
Tryptophan and it’s neurotransmitter is serotonin
His
Histidine and it’s neurotransmitter is histamine
Nearly every carbohydrate
Every carbon has one hydrogen and one hydroxyl on two of the bonds, exception one carbon will
Be part of hydroxyl group
Carbohydrate functions
Source of fuel, synthesis of cellular components, storage, make glycoproteins and nucleus acids
Simple oxidation
Incomplete and inefficient
Biological oxidation.
Complete oxidation and more efficient
Smallest and simplest carbohydrate
Three carbon glyceraldehyde
The second carbon is chiral
Most carbohydrates are at least
5 or more typically 6 carbons long.
Chiral carbon
Second to the last
Monosaccharides
One sugar
D ribose
Pentose
D glucose
Hexose
