Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry Flashcards
Whats is organic chemistry and biochemistry?
We are made up of several carbon based compounds . Foundation of organic chemistry because it’s the study of organisms.
Whats do colbant bonds do?
They share electrons. Carbon is based of organic chemistry. These bonds are extremely stable in water. Hydrogen and silicon also form covalent bonds. gen and carbón usually have a bases. No ions charge.
How many atoms do hydrogen electrons share? And oxygen and carbon?
Two hydrogens share two electrons and they form H2. And ox and carbon cO2.
Which element can bond to itself?
Carbon
What is biochemistry ?
It is the study of chemical components of the living systems.
What is biochemistry
Hydrogen and carbon have so many covenant bonds they have their on branch
Organic notion: how do we represent it?
Hydrochain and hydrocarbon ring
Hydrocarbons
Methane - CH4 - one carbon attached to 4 hydrogen - gases form
Ethane - c2h6 -two carbons attached to 6 hydrogens
Propane - c3h8
Butane c4h10
Octane - c8h18
What is one possible alcohol? And carboxylic acid and Amines?
Taking bay hydrocarbon and adding OH. Carbon adding COOH. to any hydrogen backbone. Amines attach to (R) hydrocarbon backbone. Smells bad.
What are the 4 types of biochemicals?
Proteins - made up of amino acids
Carbs made of up monosaccharides
Lipids made of up of fatty acids and their derivatives
Nucleus acids- composed of sugar, phosphate and organic bases.
What is polymerization?
The basic units is monomer Two is dimers Three is trimera 4-15 oligomers More than 15 are polymers
Biochemical polymers
Most complete biochemicals are made up of simple building blocks
Sugars and starches are monosaccharides
Proteins are made of up amino acids
Fats are made up of fatty acids
Nucleus acids are made from pyrimdine and purine bases
Biochemical reactions
Starch molecule is decomposing is catabolism(simple from complex) this is decomposition reactions. Amino acid poly Anabolism (simple to complex) .. surge risk reactions
Polymerization reactions
Dehydration synthesis - remove a hydrogen molecule.
