Q

Properties of Trans acids?

A

Don’t have a kink
Can be created through processing
Food with trans fats increase cholesterol

20
Q

What are Essential Fatty Acids AND EXAMPLES?

A

Fats required by the body but are not synthesized by it (part of a diet)

Omega 3 (in salmon, trout and tuna)
Omega 6

21
Q

What is a type of Omega 3 acid?

A

Alpha linoleic acid

22
Q

True or False: Essential fatty acids are unhealthy because they are fats.

A

False. They are healthy fats and actually reduce the risk of heart attacks and lower blood pressure

23
Q

What are the properties of Waxes and where found?

A

Long fatty acids chains: Esterified to long chain alcohols
Hydrophobic: Prevent water from sticking to the surface

Found on the feathers of some aquatic birds and leaves on certain plants

24
Q

Describe Phospholipids?

A

Two hydrocarbon chains and a phosphate group attached to a glycerol.
2 fatty acid chains are hydrophobic and the phosphate and glycerol are hydrophilic which makes a phospholipid an amphiphilic.

25
Q

What is the role of Phospholipids?

A

Their primary role is to form cell membranes
They contribute to the dynamic nature of plasma membranes

26
Q

What are Steroids?

A

Carbon skeleton consisting of 4 fused rings

27
Q

What differs Steroids from one another?

A

The functional groups attached to carbon rings they possess.

Cholesterol is the most common steroid

28
Q

What are the properties of Steroids?

A

Are hydrophobic
Insoluble to water

29
Q

What are Proteins?

A

The most abundant and versatile macromolecule in life
Composed of 20 amino acids with unique side chains (R groups)

30
Q

What is the Structure of Amino Acids

A

Composed of a central carbon atom bonded to:
H - Hydrogen atoms
NH2 - Amino functional group
COOH - Carboxyl functional group
R group - Variable side chain

31
Q

How to determine a NON-IONIZED form of amino acid?

A

No charges and is a normal amino acid structure.

32
Q

How to determine an IONIZED form of amino acid?

A

The amino group gains a hydrogen making a positive charge and the carboxyl group looses the H and becomes negatively charged

33
Q

True or false: The R groups are all functional groups?

A

False. They have functional groups that can participate in chemical reactions and they have non-functional groups consisting of carbon and hydrogen atoms

34
Q

What 3 types of R groups are there?

A

Charged (acidic or basic), Uncharged polar and Uncharged non-polar

35
Q

How do you determine a charged amino acid?

A

An acidic charge - has a negative side chain (group opposite the hydrogen of central carbon)

A basic charge - has a positive side chain (group opposite the hydrogen of central carbon)

36
Q

How do you determine an uncharged amino acid?

A

Polar - has an oxygen atom on side chain (group opposite the hydrogen of central carbon)

Non-polar - doesn’t have any positive charges, negative charges, or oxygen groups on side chain (group opposite the hydrogen of central carbon)

37
Q

Which ionized amino acids can form ionic bonds and interact with water?

A

Charged - Yes
Uncharged Polar - Yes
Uncharged Non-Polar - No

38
Q

What is a peptide bond and what are the types of peptide bonds?

A

They are bonds formed between 2 amino acid’s amino group and carboxyl group

Oligopeptide - Chain of less than 50 amino acids
Polypeptide - Chain of more than 50 amino acids

39
Q

What are the stages of protein structure?

A

Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
Quartenary

40
Q

What are the properties of the PRIMARY stage?

A

It is a unique sequence of amino acids
It is fundamental to all other stages
Amino acid R groups affects polypeptide’s properties

41
Q

What are the properties of the SECONDARY stage?

A

The folding of the amino acids to either alpha helix or beta pleated sheets
Result from hydrogen bonding between repeating constituents of polypeptide backbone

42
Q

What are the properties of the TERTIARY stage?

A

Creates a 3D form of the polypeptide
Results of from interactions between R groups

43
Q

What are the bonds made by R groups in order of strength?

A
  1. Ionic bonds
  2. Sulfur bonds
  3. Hydrogen bonds
  4. Hydrophobic interactions
  5. Van der Waals
44
Q

What are the properties of the QUATERNARY stage?

A

Results from 2 or more polypeptides interacting to form a functional structure
Could be dimers being proteins with 2 subunits

45
Q

What are the 2 types of dimers?

A

Homodimers - structure consists of 2 identical subunits
Heterodimers - structure consists of 2 different subunits
