Biology II H Unit 3 Flashcards
Contain carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded to other atoms
Organic Molecules, Biomolecules, Macromolecules
4 types of organic molecules
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids
Contain a total of 6 electrons, only 4 electrons in the outer shell, very divers as one atom can bond with up to y other atoms.
Carbon atoms
Carbon atoms bond with other carbon atoms.
hydrocarbons
Are clusters of specific atoms bonded to the carbon skeleton with characteristic structure and function. (determin polarity)
Functional Groups
organic molecules that have identical molecular formulas, but differing internal arrangements of atoms.
Isomers
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids
Macromolecules
Monomers make up….
polymers
Removal of water molecules (connect monomers together to make polymers)
Dehydration
Addition of water molecule (disassemble polymers into monomer parts)
Hydrolysis
Speed up biological processes
Enzymes
monosaccarides
charbohydrates
Amino acids
protein
glycerol and fatty acids
lipids
nucleic acids
nucleotide
Carbohydrates
C,H,O 1:2:1
Lipids
C,H,O
Proteins
C,H,O,N
Nucleic Acid
C,H,O,N,P
are single sugar molecules such as glucose, ribose (rna), deoxyribose(dna).
Monosaccharides
contain two monosaccharides joined by dehydration reaction.
Disaccharides
are polymers of monosaccharides
Polysaccharides
Starch
plants
Glycogen
animals
Cellulose
found in the plant cell walls (fiber)
Chitin
Provide structure
Lipids are…
insoluble in water
Lipids provide…
insulation ans energy storage in animals
Long-term energy storage (fats and oils), consists of a backbone of one glycerol molecule (a water-soluble compound) with three hydroxyl (-OH) groups.
Triglycerides
glycerol backbone and 2 fatty acids attached instead of three. Fatty acids are nonpolar and hydrophobic, the phosphate group is polar and hydrophilic. when touched by water they form like the cell wall.
Phospholipids
Cholestoral, testosterone, and estrogen
steroids
long chain fatty acid bonded to a long chain alcohol. Waterproof and resistant to degradation
waxes
makes up hair and nails
keratin
support many body structures
collagen
20 differnt amino acids make up…
proteins
Protein bonds are…
peptide bonds
the sequance of amino acids (straight line, 20 amino acids)
primary
The way the amino acid chain coils and folds
Secondary
Overall three-dimensional shape of a polypeptide. string tie together.
Tertiary
Consists of more than one polypeptide (several noted chains together)
Quaternary
Nucleotide structure
Phosphate group, Pentose sugar, Nitrogenous base
Double stranded helical spiral, genetic info, found in chromosomes.
DNA
Single stranded, assembly of proteins, found in nucleus and cytoplasm of call.
RNA
Is composed of adenine, ribose, and three phosphates
ATP
