Q

What’s metabolism?

A

Total chemical activity and consists of thousands of individual chemical reactions which are coordinated (if not cell wont have its proper function. The genes provide control and coordination.

Q

What came after prokyarotic cells?

A

Eukaryotic cells, larger prokaryotic cells ate smaller eukaryotic cells and decided to not eat it one day and realised that it much more useful.

A

Hydrophilic

21
Q

Substance who hates water

A

Hydrophobic

22
Q

True or false?
All liquids are denser than their solide form.

23
Q

What influences the behaviour of molecules?

A

Functional groups and isomers of molecules

24
Q

What’s an isomer?

A

Same molecules with different arrangement ( structure format )

25
What’s a monomer?
a molecule that can be bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer.
26
How are polymers created?
When monomers create a covalent bond with each other by means of condensation.
27
What’s a hydrolosis reaction?
When water breaks or unite monomers inside a covalent bond.
28
Properties of the functional group: Hydroxyl (OH)
Polar. Enables linkage with other molecules by dehydration.
29
Properties of the functional group: Carboxyl (-COO-)
Acidic. Important in energy releasing reactions. Gives up -OH.
30
Properties of the functional group: Amino (-NH3+)
Basic: Accepts H+. Enter into dehydration synthesis by giving up H+
31
Properties of the functional group: Phosphate (PO4)
Negatively charged, enters dehydration synthesis by giving up -OH. When bonded with another phosphate releases much more energy
32
Properties of the functional group:( SH) Sulfhydryl
Form a disfulfide bridge, stabilizes protein structure
33
Name the 2 functional groups of the amino acid
Amino group, carboxyl group
34
Name two 3 amino acids
Cysteine has disulfide, glycine has H and proline forms a ring with a modified amino group
35
Name all level of structures and their properties.
1-sequence 2- hydrogen bonds who for a-helix or b-pleated sheet 3- linkage with disulfide bonds, aggregation of hydrophobic side chains ionic bonds hydrogen bonds 4- 3D shape affected by pH, Temperature ,salt, carbon, oxydation
36
What naturises proteins?
Chaperonins
37
Carbohydrates: name its two groups that it’s composed of.
Hydrogen group(-H), hydroxyl group (-OH)
38
Name 4 major categories of carbohydrates
Monosaccharides(monomers,simple sugars) DIsaccharides( two monomers bonded by covalent bond) Oligosaccharides (3-20 monosaccharides) Polysaccharides( thousand of monosaccharides, forming starch or glycogen cellulose)
39
General formula of a carbohydrate monomer
Cn(H20)n (1:2:1) ratio
40
Name 4 monosaccharides monomers
Triose include glyceraldehyde Tetrose include erythose Pentoses include ribose, deoxyribose Hexoses, include structural isomers, glucose, fructose,mannose,galactose
41
Preferred energy of cells?
Glucose (monosaccharide), straight chain or ring(more stable)
42
What type of linkage does monosaccharides bond with?
Glycosidic linkages (one for di and more than 2 for oli)
43
Name polysaccharides and their function
Starch, storage of glucose in plants Glycogen storages of glucose in animals Cellulose : structural components for plants
44
What’s a 5 carbon sugar?
Ribose and deoxyribose made of pentose sugar, phosphate group, nitrogen base
45
What are lipids?
Macromolecule who is insoluble in water, its hydrophobic, doesn’t consist of polymers . Made of fatty acids and glycerol, smaller molecules.
46
Fats and oils
Store energy, tryglycerides composed(three fatty acids and one glycerol molecule) Glycerol 3 carbon molecules with a -OH Group for each Fatty acids are long chais of hydrocarbons with (-COOH) at the end
47
Saturated fatty acids
Single carbon to carbon bond, saturated with hydrogen Rigid straight and solid at room temperature, animal fats are saturated unsaturated have at least one double-bond carbon not all complt satured with H bond Monounsatured one db bond Poly- more than one bd bond plants have unsaturated fatty acids
48
Phospholipids
