Chapter 2 part 2 Flashcards
peptide bond
linking 2 amino acids
Organic chem
molecules of life
macromolecules
study of carbon containing substances
primary structure
Sequence of amino acids in a peptide chain
purines
double structure
lipids
- fats, wax, oils
- long term energy
- insulation
- un/saturated fats
- emulsifiers (bile) breaks down fat
disaccharides
sucrose (glucose and fructose)
made of different combos of monosaccharides
dehydration synthesis
pulling off OH and H molecules
removing water to join substances together
Proteins
- main unit of sturcture and function
- amino acids (10 essential, 20 baisc types)
- denaturation (totally change and cant go back)
- enzymes (proteins that carry out reactions)
unsaturated
one or more double covalent bond
enzyme
- activation energy
- indiced fit hypothesis
- active site (where enzyme attaches to molecule)
polysaccharides
storage and short term energy
consists of many monosaccharides bound in long chains
polypeptide
- many linked together
- a chain of covalently bonded amino acids that forms a part of or the entirety of a protein molecule
monosaccharide
glucose, fructose, galactose
isomers of C6H12O6
pyrimadines
single structure
nucleotoid
-basic building blocks of RNA and DNA
