Bio Flashcards
What is organic molecules and the atoms they contain
An organic molecule are carbon atoms. Covently bonded to other carbon atoms and to other elements such as hydrogen and oxygen
A generalization of amino acids s
The amino group - H_N
H-
THE CARBOXYLIC GROUP- C=O
OH-
RESUDUAL IN THR MIDDLE
Generation of lipids
Glycerol{CH3}-(CH2)n-{C=O}
-OH} Functional group
Describe the different carbohydrates and give examples
Monosaccharide- One simple sugar, EX. Glucose fructose and ribose
Fisaccharide- 2 simple sugars. Ex, Sucrose, matose, and lactose
Pollysaccharides- Three or more simple sugars ex, starch, glycogen, cellulose
Describe the procceof of dehydration synthesis
Two molecules combined by attaching and removing their o h and H to create a water
The Small molecules that make up hyperbohydrates
Simple sugars
The small molecules that make up fat
Daddy acids and glycerol
Small molecules that make up proteins
Amino acids
Difference between fats and oils
Fats are saturated, solid at room temperature, Hard to break, and are found in animals.
Oils are unsaturated fountain plants, Liquid at room temperature. and are easy to break
What does unsaturated and saturated fat mean
saturated facts are single bonded and are hard break
Unsaturated facts are double bonded and easy to break, Which is why they’re seen as more healthy? They are break down sooner and used for energy sooner
Describe the difference between starch glycogen and cilio los
Starch is an energy source for our plants
Glycogen is an energy source for animals
Celeos are the structural walls of plants And cannot be digested
What is the function of proteins and lists some
Proteins are structural components of cells
They make up: Organelles mussels nerves skin etc
Antibodies
Enzymes
Examples of proteins are a keratin, acting and myelin. And hemoglobin
Describe the two different chorestra
LDL (low density, lipoProtein) is bad to have high levels. Your blood will become saturated with chorestral and then dumped into arteries
HDL is considered good cholesterol ( high density, lipoproteins) H d l will pick up cholesterol in the arteries and transport them to the liver for disposal
What are enzymes
Enzymes are a catalyst that will speed up chemical reactions. Speed up the process of bringing two molecules together or breaking them apart
What is active site
The active site is a specialized shape area of the enzyme that fits perfectly with the specific substrate
