Q

Number of R Variables

25
Major Component of Biological Membranes
lipids
26
Lipid Examples
- triglycerides - phospholipids - steroids
27
Phospholipid Tail
- contains the fatty acids 1 saturated 1 unsaturated - hydrophobic
28
Functional Groups Role
- likely to be involved in reactions | - gives macromolecules different structures and function
29
Polymer
poly= many | long chain of molecules of similar molecules
30
Triglyceride Structure
- glycerol (backbone) - 3 fatty acids (tails) concentrated source of energy
31
Glycosidic Bond
covalent bond between monosaccharides to form di/polysaccharides
32
Primary Structure
"beads" on a chain
33
Secondary Structure
interaction of hydrogen | bonds form alpha helix and beta pleated sheet
34
Tertiary Structure
interactions between alpha helix and beta pleated sheet
35
Quarternary Structure
2+ polypeptide chains forming a multi-subunit protein
36
Solid at Room Temp
saturated fatty acids
37
Polymers of Amino Acids
polypeptides
38
Carbonyl 2 Types
aldehydes | ketones
39
Saturated vs Unsaturated
``` saturated= with hydrogen, straight unsaturated= missing some H because of double bonds, bent ```
40
Carbon likes ___ bonds
4
41
Liquid at Room Temp
unsaturated fatty acids
42
20 Amino Acids

polymers
44
Most Abundant Lipid
Triglycerides
45
Non-polar
lipids
46
3 Factors to Build Polymers
- dehydration synthesis - water is lost - requires energy
47
Breaking down polymers
- hydrolysis | - water is added
48
Nucleic Acid composed of...`
1. phosphate group 2. 5-carbon sugar 3. nitrogenous group
49
Denaturing Proteins
unraveling proteins to inactive form | *cannot go back to original form
50
5 Nitrogenous Bases
1. adenine (DNA/RNA) 2. guanine (DNA/RNA) 3. cytosine (DNA/RNA) 4. thymine (DNA) 5. uracil (RNA)
