Q

CC Functional Groups

A

Hydroxyl (OH)
Carbonyl (C=O)
Carboxylic Acid (COOH)
Amino (NH2)
Sulfhydryl (SH)
Phosphate (H2PO4)
Methyl (CH3)

Hydroxyl -> Phosphate (Polar/Hydrophilic)
Methyl -> Nonpolar/Hydrophobic

Acidic: COOH, SH, H2PO4
Basic: NH2

Q

CC Dehydration Reaction

A

Polymer: Similar monomers linked up together

Dehydration: 2 monomers linked up together = lose water
Hydrolysis: 2 monomers break apart = gain water

Protein
monomer: Amino Acids
Function: IDK
Bonds: Peptide bonds

Nucleic Acid
Monomer: Nucleotides
Function: transmits heredity
Bonds: Phosphodiester bond
Types: DNA/RNA

Lipids
Monomer: Not a polymer

Q

SEQ Levels of Protein Synthesis

A
  1. Primary Structure: a sequence of amino acids joined by peptide bonds to form a polypeptide chain
  2. Secondary Structure: Within a single Polypeptide Chain, hydrogen bonds stick with amino acids together (No R group interaction)
    Causes structural change
    A-helix/B-pleated sheet
  3. Tertiary Structure: Within a single polypeptide chain, the r group interacts
    It folds into a 3d shape
    Protein Functionality
  4. Quaternary Structure: multiple polypeptide chains forms a macromolecule (no more folding)
