Chap 2 Flashcards
Inorganic
this is mostly build from carbon and Hydrogen and nitroge
Organic compounds
are very large and very complex and they have carbon to carbon bonds ,carbon dioxide bond and often they have oxygen.
What is needed for biological function?
Inorganic and Organic compounds-
Triglycerides are?
Lipids (fats) that give your body energy
Triglycerides are made up of a ——— molecule and 3 ——- ——
Glycerol Ave fatty acid
A () is a lipid with a carbohydrate chain attached
Glycolipid
—–are formed from a cholesterol base with various functional group attaced
Steroids
Glycogen is made up of ——– molecules linked together?
Glucose
Proteins are made up of ——– —— linked together
Amino acids
A substance that dissolved in water and releases a hydroxyl ion is called a
Phosphate
How many nucleotide are needed to create the code for an amino acid
5
When two monosaccharides are joined together they form a
Polysaccharide
Water is a universal solute
No
Unsaturated fatty acids do not contain double bonds between car on atoms
False
Proteins are the most abundant organic compounds in the body
True
Hair is composed of structural proteins
True
Cellular respiration
The oxidation of organic material to yield energy,carbon dioxide, and water
Colloid
Emulsion, hetogenous mixtions that contain much larger sized solutions than those found in solutions
Hydrolysis
Breaking down more complex molecules into simpler ones by adding water
A ionic compound composed of positively charged cations anions so that the product is electrically neutral
Salt
Solution
Homogenous mixture of two or some substances
Carbohydrates’s organic compound is
Monosaccharides
Proteins organic compound is?
Amino acids
DNA organic compound is
Deaxyibose suger and nucleotides
Rna organic compound
Ribose sugare and nucleotides
ATP’s organic compounds is
Adenosine and three Phosphate groups
Functional groups
make organic compounds biologically active
Water acts like a base when you put it with acids. So a base in water is going to take a hydrogen from the water and release something call .
hydroxyl
Acids
Acids are hydrogen donors
bases
bases are hydrogen takers.
How many bonds can carbon form ?
4
since carbon could form 4 bonds allows them to line up into these long chains
macro molecules
It takes a lot of energy to form
carbon molecule
carbon molecules could also be used to store what?
nutrients
-OH
Hydroxyl
-C-
||
O
Carboxyl
H
/
-N
\
H
Amino
Phosphate
OH
|
-O-P-OH
||
O
What are sults?
Salts are inorganic compounds that dissocaited in water so we call them electrolytes
What is a ion?
A atom or molecules with a net electrical change ( dots around them like Saturn’s rings)
