Unit Two Flashcards
Hydrolysis
a water molecule is consumed to break covalent bonds
pyruvate
found in both plant and animal cells
Ribose
five carbon sugar
alpha d glucose
six carbon sugar, carbon 1 has a downward facing carboxyl group
beta d glucose
six carbon sugar, carbon 1 has an upward carboxyl
enzyme
Protein, catalyzes a reaction without being used up in the reaction (interacts not reacts)
catalyst
something that speeds up a reaction, wont cause a reaction that wouldn’t naturally occur without said catalyst
phospholipid
- has a phosphate group, 2 fatty acid chains and a glycerol backbone.
- made up of C O H and P
- its ‘head’ is a hydrophobic & non polar phosphate group
triglyceride
- fats and oils
- C O and H
- hydrophobic & non-polar
-glycerol, hydroxyl group and three fatty acid chains
Anabolism
- constructive metabolism
- synthesis of complex molecules
Lactose
- found in animal milk
- disaccharide
- glucose + galactose
Monosaccharide
- building blocks of carbohydrates
- 3, 5 and 6 carbon sugars
- ex: glucose
Unsaturated Fatty Acid
a fatty acid chain with at least one double bond between carbons
BMI Equation
Weight (KG) / Height^2 (M)
glycogen
- found in animal livers
- alpha d glucose with 1,4 & 1,6 linkages
- BRANCHED
cellulose
- structural, found in plants
- made up of beta d glucoses
- only 1,4 linkages
- unbranched
Starch
has two forms, amylose and amylopectin
Amylose
- made up of alpha glucose
- 1,4 linkages only (unbranched)
Amylopectin
- alpha glucose
- 1,4 and 1,6 linkages (Branched)
Amino Acid
Nitrogen surrounded with an R group, a carboxyl and an amine group
