Wk 2- Molecules Flashcards
Molecules of life must contain =?
Organic compounds can be ; ? ? ? All containing ?
Carbon Liquid Solids Gases Carbon
Carbon:
Is the chief component of ? structures. It is the atomic skeleton/ foundation of ? compounds. Carbon can bind up to 4 atoms= can create may different compounds.
Organic, organic
Polymerisation:
Monomers (links) = single ?
Polymers (chains)= many ?
Individual / identical monomers join together= straight ? chain
Molecules, molecules , polymer
What are the 4 main compounds?
- C?
- L?
- P?
- N? Acids
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
Nucleic acid
Carbohydrates = CHO
Includes sugars, glycogen, starch and cellulose. Major source of energy in ? production. 3 main groups are; 1. - saccharides (simple) 2. - saccharides (simple) 3. - saccharides (complex)
ATP
Mono
Di
Poly
Monosaccharides: simple sugars
What are the simple sugars in ; Blood ? Fruit ? Milk? DNA? RNA?
Glucose Fructose Galactose Deoxyribose Ribose
Disaccharides = glucose + simple sugars
Glucose + fructose = ? (Table sugar )
Glucose + galactose= ? (Milk)
Glucose + glucose= ? (Malt sugar)
Sucrose
Lactose
Maltose
Polysaccharides= complex carbohydrates
G? = increase storage of CHO in humans S?= fuel source found in plants, increase energy supply in humans C?= plant cell wall not easily digested
Glycogen
Starch
Cellulose
Lipids: CHO
Fats, oils, waxes and sterols
Lipids are a major structural component in cells.
Lipids in? , protect and c? organs.
The main lipid = Tri?
Insulate, cushion
Triglyceride
Triglycerides:
Triglycerides = ? Fatty acids + glycerol Structure is in the form of a ? Saturated fats = ? Unsaturated fats = ? Mono unsaturated fats = ? Double bond ? poly unsaturated fats= ? Double bond ? ^ bonds= ^ bends in the ?
3 Chain Solid Liquid 1, chain 2, chain Chain
Proteins: CHON
The most important and abundant component in the human body.
Protein monomers = ? Acids
? Acids + covalent bonds= p? Bond
Amino acids
Amino, peptide
Protein structure: CHON What are the 5 Amino acid components? 1. Central ? Atom 2. H? Atom 3. A? group 4. Carboxylic ? Group 5. Variable group (?) Peptide chains form from d? s? (Hy?)
Carbon Hydrogen Amino group Acid R Dehydration synthesis, hydrolysis
Protein structural levels:
(Alphabet) P? = ? Acid
(Word) S? = ? Acid + h? Bonds
(Sentence) Tertiary= interactions of R group shape protein into a 3D form
(Paragraph) Q?= 2/more peptide chains into functional p?
Primary , amino
Secondary , amino , hydrogen
Quaternary , proteins
Nucleic acids:
DNA = ?
Genetic material in double strands
RNA= ?
Copies DNA protein synthesis
Polypeptide chains create new single strand
Deoxyribonucleic acid
Ribonucleic acid
Nucleic acid structure: nucleotide monomers
What are the 3 components of DNA? 1. Sugar (?/?) 2. Phosphate 3. N? Base = A? T? G? C? U?= RNA
Deoxyribose / ribose
Nitrogenous base - adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine
Uracil
