cellular organization Flashcards
monomer
the building blocks of polymers
4 biomolecules
carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
carbohydrates
carbs are a big source of energy and are made of monosaccharides
lipids
fats made up of glycerol and fatty acids, long term energy
protien
made up of amino acids important for immune system
nucleic acid
made up of nucleotides is in all life
CHO CHO CHON CHONP
carbon hydrogen oxygen nitrogen phosphorus, carbs lipids protiens nucleic acids
miller urey experiment
first attempt at ancient earth simulation urey simulated water cycle to see if biomlicules could form this showed what ancient earth atmosphere was most likely composed of
molecular orginization smallest to largest
cell, compund, molucule, element, atom
covelent bonds
sharing of electrons very strong they are organic
ionic bonds
gaining or losing of elections non organic soluble weak
hydrogen bonds
how poler molucules stick together
organic
has carbon hydrogen bond C-H
carb polymers
monosaccharide, disaccharide, polysaccharide
polysaccharide ex
cellulose and starch
dehydration synthesis
the removal of 1 water everytime you bond two molucules
glycogen
the starch animals store sugar as
cellulose
the starch animals store sugar as
microscope
provides inlarged image
SEM
scans serface of specimen
TEM
transmits electrons through slice of specimen
gene
segment of DNA that stores genetic info
molecular genetics
the study of DNA on a molecular level
genomics
study of genomes
ion
atom that has gained or lost electrons
solvent
something that dissolves
solute
opposite of solvent
lipids
long term energy storage, insoluble,
4 groups of lipids
triglyceride, phospolipidis, steriods, wax
4 groups of lipids
triglyceride, phospolipidis, steriods, wax
ex of lipids
fats, oils, cell membrane makeup, hormones, cholesterol, beeswax
triglyceride molecule
looks like an E made out of three fatty acids and one glycerol
