Molecules Flashcards
W
Monomers
Small molecules, link together to make macromolecules(polymers)
Polymers
a chain on monomers
Dehydration
water removed, created a new bond
Hydrolysis
water is added, bond broken
Carbohydrates
Sugars, main source of energy for organisms made of C H O
Monosaccharides
Monomers that make sugars
disaccharide
Two monomers linked by dehydration
di=2
polysaccharide
Long chain of sugar linked by dehydration
Lipids
Fats used mostly uses for long term energy storage/cushion and insulation/ hydrophobic / made of CHO
Saturated fat
@ll carbons have max # of bonds /straight line / unhealthy
Unsaturated fat
Some carbons have double bonds / bent / healthy
Protiens
Do everything in a cell , what dna codes for, C H O N F S
amino acids
Monomers that make protein
Polypeptide
(Protein)
Peptide bonds
Bonds in proteins that hold amino acids together
Protein shape
Allows protein to do job
Primary structure
Order of amino acids
Secondary structure
Alpha helix or beta sheets
Tertiary structure
Positive fold to negative, hydrophobic to hydrophilic
Quartary structure
Two or more different proteins become one big one
Denaturing
protein unfolds permanently messing up the function
Causes of denaturing
Ph(breaks bonds) heat (messes up speed)
Acids
Less than 7 ph negative parts of protein attracted to h+
Polypeptide
Protien
