Unit 1 Test Flashcards
Biochem
Cohesive bonds
Between same molecules
Adhesive attraction
Between different substances
Hydroxyl Group
OH, Alchols
Carbonyl Group
C double bond O
Carboxyl Group
Acidic, makes up on end of an amino acid. C double bond O and C single bond OH
Amino Group
Acts as a bse, can pick up H+ from surroundings. (N single bond H) ×2
Sulfhydryl Group
Covalent bond, stabilize protein, cause curly hair. -SH
Phosphate Group
Contributes negative charges to molecules
O

O- – P – O-
|
O -
Methyl Group
Added to DNA, affects expression of genes, only non polar functional group
Molecules of Life
Macromolecules
4 major classes of macromolecules
Carbohydrates, Lypids, Nucleic Acids, Proteins
Lipids
Don’t form polymers, hydrophobic, most important of them are fats
Primary Structure
Chain of amino acids, one - by - one - by - one, alpha helix fold
Secondary Structure
Start to fold, beta fold
Tertiary structure
3 dimensional folding
Quaternary structure
several protein chains into a closely packed arrangement

Deoxyribose sugar
DNA
Ribose Sugar
RNA
Self Replicate
DNA
Cannot Self Replicate
RNA
2nd H Base
DNA
2nd OH Base
RNA
Hexagon or pentagon shape
Carbohydrates
Polar Phosphate head with fatty acid tails
Lipids
Central carbon with in amino acids
Proteins
Peptide bond
Proteins
1 phosphate, sugar, nitrogenous base
Nucleic Acids
Change in DNA can cause…
A change in protein folding/improper protein folding
DNA is Anti Parallel, so if one end is OH then the other strand end is…
a phosphate
DNA is Anti Parallel, so if one end is a Phosphate then the other strand end is…
an OH group
Saturated Fats
have the maximum amount of carbon hydrogen bonds
