Ch 2 Flashcards
3 basic structures of an atom
electrons, protons, neutrons
electrons
negatively charged part that orbit nucleus
protons
pos charged part in nucleus
neutrons
uncharged part in nucleus
electron orbital configuration
1S2,2S2,2P4
3 types of chem bonds
ionic, covalent, hydrogen
ionic bond
attraction b/t ions of opposite charge, one atom loses e- and another gains e-
covalent bond
2 atoms share 1 or more pairs of atoms
hydrogen bond
form when H is covalently bonded to an O or N atom is attracted to another O or N atom in another molecule
polar
slight charge, polar sub dissociate forming solutes, hydrophillic
non-polar
hydrophobic
pH measures what?
the amt of H+ in a solution, pH=-log(H+)
increase H+ acid, increase OH- base
acid
HCl, substances that dissociate into 1 or more H+
base
NaOH, sub that dissociate into 1 or more OH-, alkaline
organic compounds
always contain carbon and hydrogen
inorganic compds
typically lack carbon
macromolecules
polymers consisting of many sm repeating molecules
build macromolecule
dehydration synthesis
break macromolecules
hydrolysis or condensation
atomic number
number of protons
atomic mass
neutron + protons
functional groups
alcohol added to carbon skeleton
carbohydrates formula
CH2O
monosaccharides
simple sugars w 3-7 carbon atoms
disaccharides
2 monosaccharides joined in dehydration synthesis, can be broken down by hydrolysis
simple lipids
fats or triglycerides, contain glycerol and fatty acids, formed by dehydration synthesis, nonpolar and insoluble
complex lipids
contains C, H, and O +P, N, or S. membranes are made of phospholipids
steroids
4 carbon rings w a -OH group attached to 1 ring, part of membranes
saturated fat
no double bonds, solid at room temp
unsaturated fats
one or more double bonds, liquid at room temp
protein building blocks
essential in cell structure, made up of amino acids and peptide bonds
peptide bonds
formed by dehydration synthesis
primary structure of protein bonds
polypeptide chains of amino acids in order
secondary structure of proteins
folds into alpha helix or beta sheets
tertiary structure of proteins
when the helix folds irregularly forming bonds between the amino acids in the chain
quaternary structure of proteins
consists of 2 or more polypeptides
nucleoside
sugar plus a base, add a phospate group- get nucleotide
triglyceride
alcohol (glycerol) plus fatty acid
purines
adenine and guanine- double ring structure
pyrimidines
thymine, cytosine, and uracil- are single ring structures
DNA
AGCT
RNA
