A

storage for glucose
found in plants - chloroplasts
some branching

34
Q

glycogen (function, location, branching)

branch location

A

38
Q

Four major parts of amino acid

A

amino group
carboxyl group
hydrogn

39
Q

What does amphiprotic mean

A

has both acidic and basic parts in it
ex amino acid

40
Q

how do side chains affect polarity/acidity of amino acid

A

Polar - R group has OH, dbl bonded O, SH at end
Non polar - has just CH, ring, covered S
Acidic - carboxylic acid. neg charge
Basic - amino group, pos charge

41
Q

What is the primary structure of protein (ex of importance)

A

unique sequence of Amino acids
sequence determined by dna
determines function
ex sickle cell anemia

42
Q

what is the secondary structure of protein

A

Alpha helix
beta pleated sheet
not found in all proteins

Q

alpha helix va beta pleated sheet

A

Alpha - helix, coiled shape ex keretin
Beta pleated sheet - 2 or more polypeptide chains are parallel ex spider silk

44
Q

what is tertiary structure of protein

A

where it takes on 3d shape

where function is first seen

45
Q

What are the bonds formed in tertiary structure

A

46
Q

what is quaternary structure of protein

A

not all proteins have it
involves 2 or more polypeptides (subunits )
function is evident
ex fibrous and globular shape

also serves as antioxident

59
Q

what is common to all lipids

A

they are all non polar,
not water soluble to some degree

60
Q

How do saturation and length affect fluidity of lilpid

A

if unsaturated - more fluid due to kinks, harder to form solid structure
shorter - more fluid, have less surface area, harder to solidify

61
Q

3 parts that make up nucleotide

A

phosphate group
base
sugar (Ribose, deoxyribose)

62
