Test 3 Flashcards
Carboxyl
c bonded to O, double bonded to OH
Hydroxyl
C bonded to OH
Phosphate Group
C bonded to PO4
Carbonyl
C bonded to H and double bonded to O
Hydro Carbon
Just hydrogen and carbon bonded to each other
Amino Group
C bonded to NH2
Tetra valence
Carbon has 4 available bonds/ valence electrons think HONK 1234
Organic
A molecule that has carbon
Organic Compounds
Carbon bonded to other elements
Isomars
Same molecular formula, different shapes: different chemical properties and functions
Antiomar
The mirror images (isomars)
Functional Groups
Substitute other elements for hydrogen onto a carbon skeleton
Carbohydrates
Formed from small sugars
Monosaccharides
Simple sugars, monomers for carbs
Disacharides
Cells from two monosaccharide monomers by a dehydration reaction
Polysaccharides
Thousands of monosaccharides linked together by dehydration reactions
Starch
Function: Storage polysaccharides
-Stores gloucose for plants to withdraw energy/building materials
Glycogen
Function: Storage
-Stores starch for animals
Chitin
Function: Structure
-For insects and fungi
Cellulose
Function: structure
-for plant cell walls
Polymers
joins monomers together by taking H20 out, a complete sugar chain
Monomers
The building blocks of polymers, a single sugar
Diamer
2 Monomers
triamer
3 monomers
To make polymers: (3 words)
dehydration, synthesis, condensation
To break polymers: (4 words)
hydration, hydrolisis, decomposition, digestion
Lipids
hyrdophobic, don’t mix well with water
Three types of lipids:
steroids, phospholipids, fats
Fat Consists of
Made up of glycerol and fatty acids
Glycerol consists of
3 carbons becoming a hydroxyl group(OH)
Fatty acid consists of
a carboxyl group (COOH) and a hydrocarbon chain
Glycosidic linkage
Dehydration synthesis occurs between 2 glucose ad form a polysaccharide bond
the 2 functions of glycosidic linkage
- Structural
- Storage
Alpha glycocidic linkage
digestable, the bonds are triangles pointing down
Beta glycocidic linkages
indigestable, bonds switch off from up pointing triangles to downward facing triangles
Carbohydrates
carbon, oxygen, hyrdrogen,
made up of small sugars, all end in “ose”
