Q

Dehydration Synthesis

A

Process of building polymers from monomers. Process in which H+ and OH- are removed from two components, creating a Hydrogen bond between the two components. The product is a polymer and water

Q

Hydrolysis

A

inverse of dehydration synthesis, chem reaction that breaks down polymers into monomers. Bonds holding water molecules together are broken down leading to the larger molecules being broken down as well. The H+ returns to the OG monomer, same for the OH-

Q

Primary Structure

A

Amino acid linear polypeptide chain, not 3d

17
Q

Secondary structure

A

Amino acids in primary structure are attracted to each other and fold toward each other

18
Q

Tertiary Structure

A

3D structure of polypeptide once folding is complete including many non covalent ionic and Hydrogen bonds as well as covalent

19
Q

Denaturation

A

in certain conditions proteins break down and become unconnected amino acids, such as in higher Temps or high acidity

20
Q

Reactant

A

Substrate, the parts being altered

21
Q

Reaction arrow/catalyst

A

enzyme

22
Q

Product

A

The result of that dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis

23
Q

Carbohydrates monomer and polymer names

A

Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Polysaccharides

24
Q

Monosaccharide Example (and function of example)

A

Glucose, to store energy in cells

25
Q

Disaccharide example (and function of example)

A

Lactose, made of the monosaccharides galactose and glucose. Disaccharides are used for energy and nutrition, they are broken down into simple sugars

26
Q

Polysaccharides found in plants (functions)

A

Starch, energy storage for plant, and Cellulose, structure of cell walls for plants

27
Q

Polysaccharides found in animals and functions

A

Glycogen, energy storage, and Chitlins, which provide structure

28
Q

How are monosaccharides classified

A

By the number of carbons they contain, glucose is a hexose Sugar because it has 6 carbons

29
Q

The number of carbons should be counted in which order?

A

Clockwise
