Exam 2 final review Flashcards
carbonyl group is at end of the carbon chain
aldose
carbonyl group is at any other position (in a ketone group)
ketose
pentose. component of RNA and comp of DNA
Rna: d - ribose DNA: 2-deoxy-d-ribsoe
2 hexoses are what
d-glucose, d-fructose
chiral center most instant from carbonyl carbon
reference carbon
two sugars that differ only in the configuration around one carbon atom
epimer
epimers of glucose
mannose, galactose
6 membered ring, form when the hydroxyl group at C5 reacts with the aldehyde group at C1
pyranoses
5 membered ring, form when the hydroxyl group at C5 reacts with the keto group at C2
furanoses
function of amylose
energy storage in plants
function of amylopectin
energy storage in plants
glycogen function
energy storage in bacteria and animal cells
cellulose function
structural in plants, gives rigidity and strength to cell walls
chitin function
structural in insects, spiders, gives rigidity and strength to exoskeletons
peptidoglycan function
structural in bacteria, gives rigidity and strength to cell envelope
dominant surface feature of the outer membrane of gram negative bacteria
lipopolysaccharides
serve as main target for our immune system
lipopolysaccharides
3 functions of phosphorylation
traps biomolecule, activates biomolecule, contributes to binding energy
2 phases of glycolysis
prepatory and payoff
relationship between k and delta g is
delta G = -RT ln (k)
when k is less than 1, the reaction…
proceeds in reverse
when k is more than 1, the reaction..
proceeds forward
