2nd Chapter Test Flashcards
Hydrolysis
Large + h2o –> small + small
2 basic biochemical reactions
Hydrolysis (catabolic) and dehydration (anabolic)
Dehydration
Small + small –> larger + h2o
Carbohydrates
Quick energy source
Monosaccharides
Disaccharides
Polysaccharides
Lipids
Long term energy source
Fats waxes oils steroids
Composed of glycerol + 3 fatty acids –> lipid +h2o
Saturated fats
Single bonds
Soiled at room temperature
Butter lard
Unhealthy
Unsaturated fats
Double bonds Liquid --> vegetable oil Healthier Polyunsaturated which means many double bonds Transfats
Glycogen is stored in the
Liver
Proteins
Has a structural function / metabolic function
20 amino acids

H- H = O
N-C-C
H- R -OH
Amino acid monomers are
Linked together
Amino acid monomers are linked together
- In a dehydration reaction
- Joining carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of the next amino acid, creating a peptide bond
A chain of amino acids are called
Polypeptide
Catalysts
Control reactions
Reduce the activation energy needed to start a reaction
Enzymes are
Specific
Reusable
Can be denatured
Active site (place where the substance attaches)
Primary structure
Straight string of beads
Secondary structure
Beads coiled up
Tertiary structure
Bent slinky
Quaternary structure
More than two teritiary
2 types of Nucleic acids
DNA
RNA
DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid
Deals with genetic makeup
RNA
Ribonucleic acid
Nucleotides
Phosphate
Sugar
Base : Ademine,thymine,guanine, cytosine,uracil
Purines
Double ring
Adenine
