lab 4 Flashcards
molecules that contain two or more carbon atoms bonded together
organic molecules
atoms share a pair of electrons and can be classified as either polar or non polar
covalent
pair of electrons NOT shared equally
polar
pair of electrons shared equally
non polar
dische diphenylamine
reagent that tests specifically for the presence of deoxyribose sugar found in DNA
has three different parts: a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base
nucleotide
can be used to test for the presence of peptide bonds found in proteins
biuret reagent
when a proteins structure is destroyed
denatured
amino acids held together by covalent bonds
peptide bonds
building blocks or monomers that make up all proteins
amino acids
gain of electron
reduction
loss of electron
oxidation
monosaccarides or disaccharides that contain a free aldehyde or ketone group
reducing sugars
used to test for reducing sugars
Benedict’s reagent
formed when 3 or more monosaccharides are covalently bonded together
polysaccharide
2 monosaccharides bonded together using dehydration synthesis
disaccharides
monomers that make up carbohydrates “simple sugars”
monosaccharides
organic molecules that are important for energy storage and structural support
carbohydrates
data that deals with numbers and is generated by taking measurements
quantitative
data generated by observing and describing the results and does not generate numeric values
qualitative
does NOT contain molecule you are testing for and does NOT react with the reagent
negative control
contains the organic molecule you are testing for
positive control
verify that the reaction is working and provide comparisons for what positive and negative results will look like
controls
what is being tested
unknown solution
when polymers are broken down into individual monomers… requires the addition of a hydrogen atom and a hydroxyl group from water and release energy when they occur
hydrolysis
occurs when a hydrogen atom and a hydroxl group are removed, forming water and two monomers that are bonded together through covalent bonds
dehydration synthesis
