Q

glycogen

A

used to store carbs in animals
made of alpha glucose
similar structure to amlypectin
-branched
less dense and more soluble than starch so broken down quicker
-higher metabolic rate in animals

sequence of amino acids in a polypetite chain
can fold up to form different structures through different types of bonding

Q

cellulose

A

made of beta glucose
each monomer is inverted
forms chains which run parallel with hydrogen bonds between the chains to form microfibrils
microfibrils are strong
polar nature allows water to diffuse through
bonded together by hydrogen bonds
used in plant cell walls

Q

structure of polysaccharides

A

storage molecules
can form very compact molecules so large numbers can be stored
glycosidic bonds are easily broken allowing rapid release of monosaccharide units for cellular respiration
not very soluble in water - little effect on water potential within a cell

Q

fibrious proteins

A

forms long chains or fibres
fibrous nature means they are insoluble
useful for structure and support
collogen
- found in skin, teeth, bones, tendons, blood, vessel walls
fibres form a triple-helix of polypeptite chains
held together by hydrogen bonds
many tropocollagen joined together

Q

quaternary structure

A

some proteins consist of more than one polypeptite chain held together in a precise 3D structre
2 main types
-globular
-fibrous
can involve the addition of a non amino acid dirvied groups known as prosteitc groups

Q

polysaccharides examples

A

starch
cellulose
glycogen

17
Q

lipids

A

made of hydrocarbons
have covalent and ester bonds
e.g
triglycerides
phospholipids

18
Q

structure of ribose

19
Q

phospholipids

A

make up plaza membranes
contain a phosphate group
two fatty acids bonded to a glycerol
phosphate head is hydrophillic
tails are hydrophobic
form in a circle

20
Q

amino acid structure

A

H
NH3 -C- COOH
R
they make proteins

21
Q

amalyose

A

long
unbranched
helical
has 1,4 glycosidic bonds
-makes it compact, so good for storage

22
Q

uses of lipids

A

waterproofing organisms
-waterproofing the fur and feathers of mamals (oil)
waxes for plants and insects
good insulators
because they are hydrophobic

23
Q

haemaglobin

A

globular protein
quaternary structure
4 polypeptite chains
-2 α subunits
-2 β subunits
-4 haem prostetic groups (iron)

24
Q

globular protein

A

form a spherical mass
fold up so that the hydrophillic groups are on the outside and hydrophobic on the inside

25
ionic bonds
between opositly charged particles broken by changing ph
26
triglyceride
made up of fats and oils hydrophobic acid tails carboxylic acid 3 fatty acids bonded to a glycerol by an ester bond bonds in a condensation reaction same basic structure (RCOOH)
27
secondary structure
folding of the primary structure of polypeptite chains into α-helixes and β pleated sheets hydrogen bonding between amino acids in the chain h bonds form between CO- carboxl group and NH- amine group
28
starch
made of alpha glucose helical structure of starch makes it good for storage in plants insoluble made of two types of polysaccharides: -amylose -amylopectin
29
bonds between monosaccharides
glycosydic bonds
30
tertiary structure
secondary fold up to form a very precise 3D structure bonds involved -hydrogen -disulphate -ionic -van der waal between R groups
31
general formula for monosaccharides
(CH2O)n triose-n=3 pentose-n=5
32
amylopectin
long branched branches allow enzymes to break it down easily so glucose can be released for respiration
33
amino acid bonding
condensation reaction peptite bond forms dipeptite or polypeptite folds or coils or associates with other polypeptie chain to form a protein
34
hydrogen bond
forms between dipoles breaks by high temps and change in ph
35
monosacharides bonding reaction
condensation reaction water is given off
36
globular protein solubility
polar hydrophillic head on outside non polar hydrophobic tail on inside head forms hydrogen bonds with water because water is a polar solvent
