Functional Groups characteristics Flashcards
Hydroxyl found in what?
sugars and alcohols
Carbonyl found in what?
every sugar has one
Carboxylfound in
amino acids, fatty acids, acetic acids, other acids
Amino
amino acids, nucleic acids
sulfhydryl
amino acid- cysteine
phosphate is in what?
phospholipid, backbone, NTP, protein regulation
Carboxyl characteristics
Acts as an acid, can donate H+
-1 charg3
Amino
Can pick up an H+, acts as a base from water, +1 charge
Phosphate characteristics
Negative charge
Potential to react with eater
What functional groups do sugars have?
no carbonyl in ring form, only hydroxyl in ring form; both
hydroxyl and carbonyl in linear form
What functional groups are in alcohol?
hydroxyl (example: glycerol)
What functional groups are in amino acids?
amino and carboxyl
What functional groups are in phospholipids?
phosphate
What functional groups are in sulfhydryl?
Cysteine amino acid residues as part of the “R” group- stabilizes protein structure
What functional groups are in aldehydes?
carbonyl
