Chemical Compunds Flashcards
Inorganic molecules
Micromolecules
Organic molecules
Macromolecules
Organic compounds
Large complex molecules that contain carbon-carbon covelant bonds
Inorganic compunds
Water, salts, acuds and bases
What is the % of water in animal
70% of the body is water
Acids
They give up hydrogen
What is the ph of the animal
7.4 ph
Range of normal of 7.35-7.45
Buffers
Weak acids or bases stabilize the solutions
Organic molecules
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Protiens
Nucleic acids
The building blocks molecules are like legos
How many sites do carbon have
They have 4 sites
Carbohydrates
From simple sugars
Use for energy
Lipids
Are from fatty acids
Store in the animals body for long term energy
Protiens
From animo acids
Carbob hydrogen and oxygen
Nucleic acid
From nuecleotides
Carbon hydrogen, oxygen ,nitrogen ,
Sugars
Building blocks molecules for carbohydrates and hydrogen
Monosaccharides
Means one -sugar
Contains 3-7 carbon atoms in a chain or ring
Pentose
Disaccharides
2sugars
Two monosaccharides join together
Polysaccharides
Many sugars
Lipids
Nuetral fatd
Phospholipids
Steroids
Eucossnoids
Nutral fats
Triglycerides- made up of 3 fatty acids
Steroids
Building block is cholesterol
Protiens
Only 20 amino acids to make protiens
Peptide
2 or more amino acids
Secondary structure
Bending of the protien
Quantenary structure
Two ir more protien fhains join to form a macromolecule
What are dna molecules?
Dna molecules are chromosomes
What is a gene
Blueprint of one protien
Nucleotides
Dna has 4 nucleotides
Thymine
And Rna has uracil
Dna
Is a double helix
Rna
Single strand
