19
Q

4 basic types of organic molecules in human body

A

carbohydrates lipids proteins nucleic acids

20
Q

carbohydrates

A

carbon molecules are each bound to a water molecule function as fuel molecules

21
Q

3 types of carbohydrates

A
  1. monosaccharides “sugars” basic carbs 2. disaccharides “sugars” 2 monosaccharides bound together 3. polysaccharides 3 or more monosaccharides linked end to end complex carbs
22
Q

3 types of monosaccharides

A

glucose “blood sugar” fructose “fruit sugar” galactose

23
Q

3 types of disaccharides “sugars”

A
  1. sucrose “cane sugar” glucose molecule linked w/ fructose molecule 2. lactose “milk sugar” glucose molecule linked w/ galactose molecule 3. maltose “malt sugar” 2 glucoses linked together
24
Q

3 types of polysaccharides

A
  1. glycogen “animal starch” fuel molecules found in muscle & liver cells 2. amylose “plant/corn starch” fuel molecules found in plants 3. cellulose “fiber” found in plants-we don’t have enzymes to break it down so it passes right through us
25
Q

lipids function as

A

fuel molecules hormones structural molecules

26
Q

Na has 11 protons Na+2 has how many electrons Cl has 17 protons Cl-1 has how many electrons

A

+2 means their are 2 more protons than electrons so there are 9 electrons -1 means their are 1 less protons than electrons so there are 18 protons

27
Q

3 types of lipids

A
  1. triglycerides 2. phospholipids 3. steroids
28
Q

triglycerides function as what kind of molecules and are made of what

A

function as hydrophobic fuel molecules abundant in fat cells made-up of a glycerol molecule linked to 3 fatty acid molecules

29
Q

phospholipids function as what kind of molecules and are made of what

A

function as structural molecules-main molecules in cell membranes made-up of a glycerol molecule linked to 2 fatty acids and 1 phosphate molecule active ingredient in soap, detergent and shampoo

30
Q

phospholipids when mixed with water

A

form microscopic spheres w/ water on inside and outside wall of sphere is made-up of 2 layers of phospholipids inner and outer layer of phospholipid heads dissolve in water both layers of fatty acid tails dissolve in each other

31
Q

2 functions of steroids and their structure

A

function as structural molecules and hormones have a complex 4 ring structure EX: cholesterol, testosterone, estrogen, cortisol etc.

32
Q

2 types of fatty acids and what they look like

A
  1. saturated fatty acids-straight chain of carbons 2. unsaturated fatty acids-have a kink in the carbon chain (bent molecule)
33
Q

3 types of triglycerides

A
  1. saturated fat 2. unsaturated fat 3. trans fat
34
Q

saturated fat

A

triglycerides where the glcerol molecule is linked w/ 3 fatty acid molecules are saturated fatty acids typically solid at room temp EX: in meats, butter, lard, shortening

35
Q

unsaturated fat

A

triglycerides where the glycerol molecule is linked w/ at least 1 unsaturated fatty acid typically liquid at room temp EX: in oils such as olive, peanut, veg, canola

36
Q

trans fat

A

triglycerides whwre the glycerol molecule is linked w/ abnormal/unnatural fatty acids formed when saturated or unsaturated fats are heated at high temps or they’re made as a byproduct when saturated fats are made in a lab

37
Q

7 possible functions of proteins

A
  1. fuel molecules 2. structural molecules 3. hormones 4. channels 5. receptors 6. pumps 7. enzymes
38
Q

enzymes are what

A

proteins that trigger chemical reactions

39
Q

proteins are made of what and what is their structure

A

typically huge molecules made-up of long chains of amino acids (20 different kinds in human body) linked end to end w/ a complex 3 dimensional structure twisted and folded onto itself

40
Q

peptides are what

A

proteins made-up of less than 50 amino acids

41
Q

polypeptides are what

A

proteins made-up of more than 50 amino acids

42
Q

nucleic acids function as what 2 types of molecules and are made of what

A

function as fuel molecules and genetic molecules made-up of nucleotides

43
Q

3 common nucleic acids

A
  1. DNA 2. RNA 3. ATP
44
Q

nucleotides are what

A

building blocks of nucleic acids

45
Q

5 types of nucleotides

A

A, G, C, T, U
