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)
