what are the 4 types of macromolecules?

most of these end with -ose and are soluble
carbohydrates
what are the 3 classes of carbohydrates?
monosaccharides
disaccharides
polysaccharides
name 3 monosaccharides
glucose
fructose
galactose
simple sugar
monosaccharides
2 glucose bonded to another monosaccharide
disaccharides
name 3 disaccharides
maltose
sucrose
lactose
glucose+glucose
maltose
glucose+fructose
sucrose
glucose+galactose
lactose
100s or 1000s of glucose chains; not soluble
polysaccharides
what are the functions of carbohydrates? 2
energy storage, structure
has lots of carbon and hydrogen bonds, but few oxygen bonds; no polymers or monomers
lipids
are lipids soluble or insoluble?
insoluble
what are the 3 classes of lipids?
fats
phospholipids
steroids
has double the amount of energy(ATP) than polysaccharides
fats
what is the formula for fats?
CH2
what is the structure of fats?
glycerol(alcohol) and 3 fatty acid tails
what are the 2 types of fats?
saturated fat
unsaturated fat
fat that is filled with hydrogens so all carbons must have single bonds
saturated fat
why is saturated fat unhealthy?
the single bonds all lay straight across and stack, making the fat very dense with no air, so water is unable to break this down and it sits in the body; this can cause heart attacks or strokes; it is solid at room temperature
3 fatty acid tails and at least 1 has a double bond, therefore is not completely filled with hydrogens
unsaturated fat
why is unsaturated fat healthier than saturated fat?
the double bonds cause the fatty acid tails to not stack and leave air in the fat, causing it to be less dense; water can break this down and it is liquid at room temperature
glycerol+2 fatty acid tails+phosphate; makes up the cell membrane, is permeable or semipermeable on allowing materials to go back and forth
phospholipids
4 fused rings; ex. cholesterol, testosterone, and estrogen; cholesterol is used as a membrane buffer
steroids
a polymer(made up of monomers); polymer=peptide and monomer=amino acid
protein
protein makes up ___% of the weight of the cell
20
what are the functions of protein? (7)
-support
-movement
-transport
-buffer
-metabolic regulation
-defense
-recognition/communication
examples of proteins???
enzymes
active sites
substrates
speed up reactions
enzymes
where substrates fit to make an enzyme work properly
active sites
proteins that fit inside active sites
substrates
2 types: DNA and RNA; polymer(made up of monomers), monomer=nucleotides and polymer=_______________; have the info to make all proteins
nucleic acids
what are the 3 types of RNA?
tRNA
mRNA
rRNA
carry amino acids to ribosomes
tRNA
is the ribosome
rRNA
carries info from DNA(makes copies)
mRNA
what are the 3 parts of a nucleotide?
phosphate group
5-carbon sugar

thymine, cytosine, and uracil/urasine
what is the monomer of nucleic acids?
nucleotides
what are the 2 functions of DNA?
-is the recipe for putting proteins together
-carries genetic info for the cell and does not leave the nucleus
where is DNA and RNA located?
everywhere throughout the cell
what are the 2 functions of RNA?
-copy of the original recipe
-carries genetic info that leaves the nucleus
what are the 4 types of tissue?

what are the 4 functions of epithelial tissue?
-physical protection
-controls permeability
-provides sensation

what are the 2 types of glands in epithelial tissue?
exocrine and endocrine
move a secretion to the free surface side of epithelial; exocytosis
exocrine
