16
Q
  • synthesis reactions A+B –> AB
  • endergoinc reactions -products contain more potential energy than did reactants
17
Q
  • decompostition reaction AB–> A+B
  • exergonic reactions- release energy
A

catabolic reactions

18
Q

_____ are biological catalysts (-ase)

19
Q
  • Small, molecules____
  • Water, _salts_ , and many acids (HCl) and _bases_ (NaOH)
  • Do not contain carbon with some exceptions: CO, _contains carbon but is classified as inorganic
A

inorganic compounds

20
Q
  • _carbs__, lipids, _proteins___ , and nucleic acids
  • Contain _carbon_ , usually large, and are _covalently_ bonded
A

organic compounds

21
Q

properties of water

A
  • high heat capacity
  • high heat of vaporization
  • polar solvent properties
  • reactivity/cushioning
22
Q
  • ionic compounds that dissociate in water, and are electrolytes
  • Contain _cations_ other than H+ and anions other than OH–
23
Q
  • Both are electrolytes
  • _acids_ are proton (hydrogen ion) donors (_acidity_ H+ in solution) HCl  H+ + Cl–
  • _bases_ are proton acceptors (take up H+ from solution)
    NaOH  Na+ + OH–
    OH– accepts an available proton (H+)
    OH– + H+  H2O
A

acids and bases

[bicarbonate and ammonia are important bases in body]

24
Q
  • Acid solutions contain [H+]
    • As [H+] _increases_ , acidity increases
  • Alkaline solutions contain bases (e.g., OH–)
    • As [H+] decreases_ (or as [OH–] increases), alkalinity increases
A

acid base concentration

25
increase [H+], decrease pH Acidic pH: 0–6.99 pH scale is logarithmic: a pH 5 solution has 10 times more H+ than a pH 6 solution
acidic solutions
26
decrease [H+], increase pH Alkaline (basic) pH: 7.01–14
basic solutions
27
an anabolic process by which two molecules are chemically bonded through the use of enzymes and a loss of water. * glucose + glucose + enzyme = maltose + water + enzyme. * The acid group of one amino acid is bonded to the amine group of the next, with loss of a water molecule.
dehydration synthesis
28
* a catabolic process by which the bond between monomers are broken by the enzyme and the addition of water. * Peptide bonds linking amino acids together are broken when water is added to the bond.
hydrolysis
29
* Sugars and starches * Contain C, H, and O [(CH20)n] * Three classes * \_monosaccharides\_\_ * Disaccharides * \_polysaccharides\_
carbohydrates * functions: major source of cellular fuel
30
simple sugars containing 3 to 7 C atoms ex. hexose and pentose sugars
monosaccharides glucose, fructose, galactose, deoxyribose, ribose
31
double sugars, too large to pass trhough cell membranes
disaccharides consists of 2 linked monosaccarides like sucrose, maltose, lactose
32
polymers of simple sugars, like starch& glycogen/not very soluble
polysaccharides long branching polymers of linked monosaccharides like glycogen
33
* Contain C, H, O (less than in \_carbohydrates\_\_), and sometimes P * \_insoluble\_\_ in water Main types: * Neutral fats or \_triglycerides\_ * \_phospholipids\_\_ * Steroids * Eicosanoids
Lipids
34
* neutral fats * composed of 3 fatty acids bonded to a glycerol molecule
triglycerides main functions:energy storage, insulation, protection
35
DNA's 4 bases
* A, G, C, T * double stranged helical molecule in the cell nucleus * provides instructions for protein synthesis * replicated before cell division, ensuring genetic continuity
36
RNA's 4 bases:
A, G, C, U * single stranded molecule mostly active outside nuclus * 3 varieties of rna carry out the dna orders for proteins synthesis * messenger RNA, Transfer RNA, and ribosomal RNA
37
* Phosphorylation: * \_terminal\_ phosphates are enzymatically transferred to and energize other molecules * Such“primed” \_molecules\_ perform cellular\_\_ work (life processes) using the phosphate\_\_ bond energy
function of ATP
