Midterm Review Flashcards
Difference Between Archae and bacteria
archaea are knows as extremophile, and are larger then bacteria. They also don’t have glycogen in their cell walls.
Hydroloysis vs Condensation Rections
Hydrolysis is the breaking of polymer chains by adding a water. Condensation reactions are formation of polymer chains by removing water
Function of Carbohydrates
Energy storage, cell structure, and cell-cell regonition
Monomers of carbohydrates
monosaccharides
Bond type on Carbohydrates
glycosidic bonds
classification of fats
3 Fatty acid chain, with glycerol backbone
- all hydrophobic
difference between saturated vs unsaturated fat
saturated = solid at room temp, no carbon to carbon double bond
Phospholipids characterstics
function in cell membrane 2 hc chains attached to hydrophilic phosphate head
Properties of Steroids
- Lipids characterized by a cholesterol backbone
- backbone of hormones
Backbone of proteins
amino acids
4 Categories of Proteins and their R groups
Non - polar - R group hydrogen or carbon
Polar Uncharged R groups with OH or SH Group
Polar charged acidic (-) R groups with coo-
Polar charged basic R group with nh3+
Protein bond type
peptide bonds covalently linked
Primary protein structure
dictates folding
Secondary structure
forms alpha helix and beta pleated sheet
Tertiary structure
folding
Cholesterols function at temperatures
high it holds them together, low it keeps them seperated
Function of Nucleus
Store DNA, site of transcription
Function of Nucleoulis
Ribosoaml RNA transcription
function of Nuclear envelope
Keep nucleoplasm away from cytoplasm
What is a nucleosome
Histone octomer
What is a solenoid
When nucleosomes stack, requiring histone H1
1st Order of dna packaging
Dna wraps around histones
