Q

Saturated Fatty Acids

A

Saturated with hydrogen.

  • Hard for chemical reactions to happen
  • Hard to break down
17
Q

Unsaturated Fatty Acids

A

Creates double carbon bonds

-not filled with hydrogen so it can be bonded with and broken down more easily.

18
Q

Triglycerides

A

3 fatty acids that are attached to a glycerol backbone

-Storage form of fatty acids

19
Q

Phospholipids

A

2 Fatty Acid tails attached to a phosphate head.

  • Fatty Acid tail is nonpolar and hydrophobic
  • Phosphate head id polar and hydrophobic
  • Bases for cell membranes
20
Q

Proteins

A

Most complex-most functions

  • Functions: structure, enzymes, hormones, transport
  • Make up all the structures of any living things body
21
Q

Amino Acids

A

Building Blocks of proteins

-all structures are made of the same 20 amino acids just put together differently

22
Q

R-group

A

is the functional group on an Amino Acid.

-this is what is differs between Amino Acids.

23
Q

Peptide Bond

A

The covalent bond holding Amino Acids together.

24
Q

Peptide/Polypeptide

A

Smallest strings of Amino Acids

-Not big enough to structure into proteins yet.

25
Q

What makes Proteins different?

A
  • What Amino Acid it has
  • How it is put together
  • The structure
26
Q

How many levels of structure/organization does protein have?

A
  1. Primary Structure
  2. Secondary Structure
  3. Tertiary Structure
  4. Quarternary Structure
27
Q

Primary Structure of Protiens

A

Peptide bond formation

  • Condensation
  • A sequence of Amino Acids
28
Q

Secondary Structure of Proteins

A

Hydrogen bonds form on the Amino Acid chains

-Coiling Helix or Sheet like pattern emerges through bonding

29
Q

Tertiary Structure of Proteins

A

Interactions between R-groups

-Additional folding of secondary structure

30
Q

Quarternary Structure of Proteins

A

Putting multiple polypeptides together to form the protein.

-usually covalent bonding, but also hydrogen bonding occuring

31
Q

RNA-Ribonucleic Acid

A

The code for proteins

-tell what amino acids should go together to make you who you are

32
Q

Nucleotiedes

A

Monomers
4 of them: Guamine, Cytosine, Thymine, Adenine, and Urucil- is for RNA
-everything is based off them and how they are put together.

33
Q

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

A

Energy Currency

-every cell is designed to use this as energy

34
Q

Glycoproteins

A

Combination of protein and carbohydrate

35
Q

Glycosominoglycans

A

Bigger combo. of proteins and carbohydrates

36
Q

Proteoglycans

A

Even bigger combo. of proteins and carbohydrates

37
Q

Lipoproteins

A

Combo of lipid and protein

-proteins carry lipids around in the blood because they are hydrophobic
