Chap 1 -2 Study guide Flashcards
Building blocks of carbs
Monosaccharides
Building blocks of lipds
Fatty acids and glycerol
Building blocks of proteins
Aminoacids
Building blocks of nucleic acids
Nucleotides
What is a nucleotide
Sugar (deoxyribose or ribose)
Phosphate
Nitrogen containing base
Function of carbs
Store energy
Make ATP
Break down lipids
Function of lipids
-store energy
-make hormones
-dissolve vitamins
-cell membranes
Function of proteins
-enzymes
-make cells and tissues
-transport proteins
-antibodies
Nucleic acids function
Information
DNA
RNA
Structure of carbs
C H O
Linked sugars
Structure of lipids
CHO with more CH
Phospholipids
Glycerol
2fatty acids
Phosphate
Proteins structure (what are aminoacids made of?)
Amine (NH2)
Acid (COOH)
R group (-R)
Nucleic acids structure
CHON +P
(Sugar, phosphate group, nitrogen base)
Explain ATP production
- Glycolysis (anaerobic, cytosol)
Breaks sugar into pyruvate and 2 ATP and 2NADH - TCA cycle(aerobic, mitochondrial matrix)
Makes energy from pyruvate - Oxidative (inner mitochondrial membrane) phosphorylation through electron transport chain
Uses energy from previous to move e- across mitochondrial membrane and attach P to ADP making ATP
RNA vs DNA
RNA
One strand
Code for proteins
Has Uracil instead of thymine
AU CG
Sugar is ribose
DNA
2 strands in double helix
Code for entire human
Sugar is deoxyribose
AT CG
tRNA
Grabs appropriate aminoacids
mRNA
Takes message
rRNA
Main part of a ribosome
Bonds with special proteins to make a ribosome
Metabolism
All chemical reactions
Anabolism
Making complex molecules (uses energy)
Dehydration synthesis
Making molecule and removing water
Hydrolysis
Split up using water
Catabolism
Break down releases energy
Synthesis
2 simple reactants make one complicated molecule
Decomposition
Complicated molecule breaks down
Exchange
Synthesis and decomposition happen simultaneously bonds broken and made
Atomic weight vs atomic mass
Atomic weight
Weight of most abundant isotope
Atomic mass protons + neutrons
Weight of e
1/2000 amu
