Q

Try explaining Dehydration Synthesis

A

Notes for it:
-this process forms large molecules from small molecules
-in process, water is produced as a byproduct. It’s also how two amino acids form a dipeptide

16
Q

Explain Primary Structure

how many amino acids can be used

A
  • Order or sequence in which the amino acids are joined in a polypeptide chain
  • 20 different amino acids
17
Q

In secondary structure, what can the primary structure twist into?

What bonds form to make up the backbone(Hint= weak bonds)

A

Helix or bending into a pleated sheet

H and O- hydrogen bonding

18
Q

What does the Tertiary Structure do

A
  • A complex folding of the secondary structure into a 3D/Globular shapes
  • Bonds that form are ionic, covalent, H-bonds, and S-S bonds between cysteines
  • This is the functional shape of the protein(enzymes)
19
Q

Explain what the Quaternary structure is

A
  • Two or more tertiary protein molecules bound together into a globular mass
  • Held together by the same bonds found into the tertiary structured
    e. g) Hemoglobin
20
Q

\_\_\_\_\_\_(e.g: keratin- hair,nails)
\_\_\_\_\_\_(e.g: salivary amylase)
\_\_\_\_\_\_(e.g: insulin)
\_\_\_\_\_\_(e.g: hemoglobin)
\_\_\_\_\_\_(e.g: actin and myosin[muscles])
\_\_\_\_\_\_(e.g: immunity)
A

  2. Enzymes
  3. Hormones
  4. Blood Proteins
  5. Movement
  6. Antibodies
21
Q

What can protein denaturation be caused by -3 WAYS (e.g: milk curdling, egg whites changing colour)

A
  1. Temperature
  2. pH
  3. chemicals like heavy metals
22
Q

What are carbohydrates made up of, as well as the ratio of H-O

A

Made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen

2:1 ratio of H-O

23
Q

What are the three types of carbohydrates

A

Monosaccharides
Disaccharides
Polysaccharides

24
Q

Explain in your words the main difference between mono, di, and polysaccharides

A
  • Monosaccharides are building blocks for large carbohydrates, also are simple sugars
  • Two monosaccharides joined by dehydration synthesis are disaccharides
  • many monosaccharides bonded together(often glucose) make polysaccharides
