3.2 and 3.3 study guide Flashcards
(20 cards)
what is the monomer of a protein?
amino acid
what is the monomer of a carbohydrate?
monosaccharide
What is the basic shape of a carbohydrate
ring
what is the monomer of a lipid?
fatty acid
what are two types of lipids
triglyceride and phospholipid (has a phosphate group)
what elements are proteins made out of
H,C,N,O,S
what is the structure of a protein
branched around the central carbon
what is the function of starch/ structure
stores enegy/ hundreds of glucose molecules attached
what is the function of glycogen/ structure
breaks starch to monosaccharides/ thousands of glucose molecules
what is the function of triglycerides
store and provide energy
what is the function of cholesterol
maintains fluiolity of the cell
where does the energy in lipids come from
hydrocarbons
saturated fats
hydrogen around the outside, solid at room temperature
what do hormones do
carry molecular messages through blood
what is the first level of structure for a protein?
the primary structure
how is tertiary structure formed
the chemical what is the function of starch/ structure happen to the primary structure of amino acids
what are the chemical properties of the side chains?
hydrophobic, hydrophilic, acid and base, and cysteine side chains
how could a hydrophilic replacement for a hydrophobic amino acid affect the tertiary structure?
it could cause the bends to be different and affect the other properites that need to be put in place
what happens during protein denaturation?
a protein unfolds due to temperature, pH, or salinity, and it detroys functionality
what two things can cause protein mutation?
denaturation and DNA mutations
