28
Q

What is the function of glycerides?

A

Long term energy storage and insulation

29
Q

What are glycerides?

A

Have fatty acids attached to a molecule called glycerol

30
Q

What are the types of glycerides?

A

Triglycerides, Diglycerides, Monoglycerides

31
Q

What is a triglyceride?

A

3 fatty acids attached to glycerol

32

Triglycerides frozen at room temp are?

33
Q

Triglycerides liquid at room temp are?

34
Q

A

2 fatty acids attached to glycerol

35
Q

what is a monoglyceride?

A

1 fatty acid attached to glycerol

36
Q

what are phospholipids?

A

Type of molecule that forms the plasma membrane and membranous cell structure

37
Q

What are the components of a phospholipid?

A

Diglyceride and phosphate group

38
Q

What are the regions of phospholipid?

A

Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic

39
Q

Hydrophilic?

A

Polar “head”, gets along with water

40
Q

Hydrophobic?

A

Nonpolar “tails”, does not get along with water

41
Q

How to define steroid?

A

Have a backbone that consists of four carbon rings with functional groups attached

42
Q

What are the levels of Protein structure?

A

Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary

43
Q

What is the primary level of protein structure?

A

Sequence of amino acids

44
Q

What is the secondary level of protein structure?

A

H-bonding between amino acids, two types

45
Q

What are the two types of secondary level of protein structure?

A

Alpha helix, beta pleated sheet

46
Q

What is the tertiary level of protein structure?

A

H-bonding and covalent bonding between amino acids produces a 3D arrangement of the secondary structures

47
Q

What is the quaternary level of protein structure?

A

Two or more polypeptides connect, shapes

48
Q

What are the shapes of the quaternary level of protein structure?

A

Fibrous (long, thread-like), Globular (rounded/oval)

49
Q

What do enzymes do as far as activation energy for chemical reactions?

A

Enzymes DECREASE activation energy requirements for chemical reactions

50
Q

How do enzymes decrease activation requirements?

A

-Catabolic reactions (stressing chemical bonds so they break)
-Anabolic reactions (position substrates so that chemical bonds are likely to form)

51
Q

What are the characteristics of an enzyme?

A

Names typically end in -ase
Each can catalyze only one type of reaction
Are reusable
Each has optimal temp and pH

52
Q

What are Nucleic Acids?

A

Acidic molecules most abundant in cell nucleus

53
Q

What are the two types of nucleic acids?

A

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)

54
Q

What is Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)?

A

Hereditary material that stores instructions for the production of protein and RNA molecules that are responsible for our inherited traits

55
Q

What is Ribonucleic Acid?

A

Molecules that change genetic instructions into physical characteristics (gene expression)

56
Q

What are nucleic acids formed from?

A

Smaller subunits called nucleotides

57
Q

What are the characteristics of RNA and DNA?

A

RNA is a single chain of nucleotides, DNA has two nucleotide chains that are twisted to form a double helix

58
Q

Nucleotide Components?

A

Phosphate group, Sugar, nitrogenous base
