24
Q

lipids

A

-molecules which are generally isoluble in water and made mostly from carbon, hydrogen, oxygen atoms, phosphourus

25
Q

common types of lipids

A

fats and oils, phospholipids, steroids, waxes

26
Q

fats/oils

A

functions=energy, isulation,protection

27
Q

gycerol

A

-3 carbon chain with OH bonded to each C on fat molecule

28
Q

fatty acid

A

-long carbon chain with a carboxyl group at one end
-carboxyl= c double bond O,OH
-saturated=all single bonds
unsaturated=one or more double bonds

29
Q

phospholipids

A

-one glycerol, two fatty acids, and phosphate group
-functions=make up cell membranes forming a barrier around the cell, semipermeable=strucuture allows for only certain substances to pass through call membranes
-structure= hydrophilic head loves water, hydrophobic tail hates water, phosphilpid bilayer, tails connect

30

-macromolecules containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphoros
-nucleotides are monomers of nucliec acids
function= store and transmit hereditary/genetic info\
-2 types : DNA and RNA
-hydrolysis breaks apart acids

34
Q

nucleotides

A

-monomer of nucleic acids
3 parts

38
Q

structure of amino acids for protein

A

-central carbon, hydrogen, amiNo group, Carboxyl group, ‘R’ group or variable group
-the part of each amino acid that is different is called R group pr variable group
-instructions for arranging amino acids into many different proteins are stored in dna

39
Q

dipeptides

A

-2 amino acids bonded together for protein

40
Q

What type of reaction join amino acids to form a polypeptide?

A
