FINAL Flashcards
Hydrogen Bond
weak; connecting hydrogen from one water molecule to the oxygen of another
Glycosidic bond
carbohydrates; connects a monosaccharide to another monosaccharide
peptide bond
proteins; connects an amino acid to another amino acid
carboxyl group
lipids; connects the glycerol ‘backbone’ to the fatty acid
Carbohydrate subsections incude….
fiber, sugars, and starch
sugars can be…
monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides
monosaccharides
glucose, galactose, and fructose
disaccharides
sucrose (glucose and fructose) lactose (glucose and galactose) maltose (glucose and glucose)
Amylose
linear structure of starch
Amylopectin
branched structure of starch
pH levels are determined by what
the number of hydroxide and hydronium ions
more hydronium (H3O) ions means the pH is
acidic
more hydroxide (OH) ions means the pH is
basic
pH scale is
0-14
pH of 0-6 means
acidic
