Cell Function Macromolecules Flashcards
Glycosidic bond
C-O bond that holds together sugar monomers
ester bond
C-O bond performed by lipid to conjoin fatty acid and glycerol
n-glycosidic bond
N-C. The bond between a pentose sugar and base (commonly found in nucleotides)
phosphodiester bonding
O-P. links together nucleotides. Phoophate group of one with sugar hydroxyl group- condensation reaction
peptide bond
N-C, usually found in. amino acids where a peptide is bonded to another through this type of bond
phosopho anahydride bonds
energy carried in three bonded phosophate groups
alpha carbon
hydroxyl group on the bottom
beta carbon
hydroxyl group on the top
Amino Acids contain
Carboxylic group, amino group, a-carbon, r-group
Fatty acids contain
hydrocarbon tails and carboxylic group
nucelotides contain
base, sugar, phosophate group
nucleosides contain
sugar, base
nucleotides
form the sugar phosophate backbone of DNA
lipids are involved in
phospholipid bilayer to which contains polar group, phosphate, and glyceral head, and a fatty acid tail.
fatty acids are unsaturated when
double bonded between carbon
