Q

Break down molecules; a reaction that is essentially the reverse of the dehydration reaction

A

Hydrolysis (breaking with water)

30
Q

How carbs are broken down:

A

Starch (body breaks this down into)—> monosaccharides (too much food= too much monosaccharides so body needs to store and build up —> Glycogen (breaks it down) body needs it again then —>monosaccharides

31
Q

The Synthesis and Breakdown of Polymers:

A

1.) Dehydration reaction: 2 or more monomers bond, water is lost
2.) Polymers are disassembled to monomers by hydrolysis—> a reaction that is essentially the reverse of the dehydration reaction

1.) Dehydration reaction —> synthesis a polymer
2.) Polymers: breaking down a polymer

40
Q

What atoms are involved in each of the Major Biomolecules? (CHONP)

A

Carbs–> CHO
Lipids–> CHO
Proteins–> CHON
Nucleic Acids–> CHONP

41
Q

What is used in cellular respiration to make ATP, an energy currency and makes carbs a fast energy source of energy for cells.

During cellular respiration, energy releases from glucose, and that energy makes adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
–> Plants synthesize glucose using carbon dioxide and water, and glucose in turn provides energy requirements for the plant.
–> Humans and other animals that feed on plants often obtain glucose form catabolized (cell breakdown of larger molecules) starch.

A

Glucose

42
Q

How are carbs important o an organism and the structure and function of its cells?
- Plants have cell walls of carbs, specifically a large one called what?
- Fungi have cell walls of carbs, known as what? (also makes exoskeleton of insects)

A

1.) cellulose
2.) chitin

43
Q

Let certain substances pass through

A

protein channels

44
Q

can build up or break down substances in metabolic processes.

A

enzymes

45
Q

Monomers release water as byproducts. Means “to put together while losing water.”
Hydrogen of one monomer combines with the hydroxyl group of another monomer, releasing a water molecule. At the same time, the monomers share electrons and form covalent bonds. As additional monomers join, this chain of repeating monomers forms a polymer.
Example–> 2 glucose molecules link to form the disaccharide maltose, In the process, it forms a water molecule.

Involve formation of new bonds, requiring energy

A

Dehydration reaction or dehydration synthesis

46
Q

Polymers break down into monomers. A chemical reaction occurs when inserting a water molecule across the bond. Breaking a covalent bond with this water molecule in the compound achieves this. During these reactions, the polymer breaks down into 2 components: 1.) one part gains a hydrogen atom (H+)
and the other 2.) Gains a hydroxyl molecule (OH-) from a spit water molecule

Break bonds and release energy.
Break down big things into small things.

A

Hydrolysis

47
Q

What is this an example of: C6H12O6

A

Glucose C6–> has a carb
H12O6–> has a hydrate = carbohydrate

48
Q

Nucleotides (monomer) –> Nucleic Acids (polymer)

A

Dehydration reaction
