Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so
closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the
joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

organic compounds
4 basic compounds
carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids
properties of carboyhydrates
-composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
-divided into monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides
-water soluble
properties of lipids
-composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
-relatively insoluble in water
properties of proteins
-composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, sometimes sulfur
properties of nucleic acids
-composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus
carbohydrates function
energy source, structure, and bulk for elimination
lipids function
-protection, insulation, physiological regulation, component of cell membranes, and energy storage
protein functions
regulate processes, aid transport, protection, muscle contraction, structure, and energy
nucleic acid function
-building blocks of DNA
protein structure
primary structure
the amino acid sequence
protein structure
secondary structure
results from hydrogen bonding between amino acids
-pleated (folded) sheets
-helices
protein structure
denaturation
change in shape caused by breaking of H-bonds by heat or pH changes
protein structure
tertiary structure
large-scale folding due to interactions within protein and surrounding environment which is generally water
protein structure
quaternary structure
results from the association of two or more proteins (subunits)
chemical level
interaction of atoms
cell level
structural and functional unit of living organisms
tissue level
group of similar cells and the materials surrounding them
organ level
one or more tissues functioning together
