25
Organic molecule
Carbon (plus hydrogen)
26
Biochemical
Organic molecule in life | Eg. Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic Acids
27
Carbohydrates
Functions: 1) principle source of energy (4kcal/g) 2) structure & energy storage in plants Elements: C, H, O Basic Structure: ring or chain of 5-6C
28
Monosaccharide
Single sugar | Eg. (glucose C6H12O6)
29
Disaccharide
Double sugar | Eg. (Sucrose)
30
Polysaccharide
Chain of 100's sugars | Eg. starch + cellulose (plants), glycogen (animals, esp. Liver)
31
Lipids
Functions: 1) energy storage (9kcal/g) 2) also animal structure (blubber) Elements: C, H, O
32
Triglyceride
Glycerol + 3 fatty acids
33
Fat
Solid, saturated (maximum H's), promotes heart disease
34
Oil
Liquid, unsaturated (missing H's)
35
Others
Phospholipid with phosphate group | Eg. Steroids, waxes
36
Proteins
Functions: 1) energy (4kcal/g) 2) structure esp. Animals (meat) 3) enzymes (speed up + reg. Chem rxs) Elements: C, H, O, N, S
37
Amino acid
``` Central C Hydrogen H Amino group NH2 Carboxyl group COOH R-group (20 diff) ```
38
Polypeptide
Chain of amino acids | Protein 1+ polypeptides
39
Primary structure (I)
Order of amino acids in polypeptide
40
Secondary structure (II)
Coiling or folding of polypeptide
41
Tertiary structure (III)
Folding of coils / folds (fold again)
42
Quaternary structure (IV)
Link to other polypeptides
43
Nucleic acids
Function: genetics, not energy Elements: C, H, O, N, P Structure: chain of 100's nucleotides Eg: DNA, RNA, ATP
44

48
Salt
Neutral molecule release ions
49
Acid
Releases H+, burns
50
Base
Releases OH-, caustic + slimy
51
pH scale
Measure of acidity
52
Acidic pH
6.9 - 1
53
Neutral pH
7
54
Alkaline or Basic pH
7.1 - 14
55
Buffer
Chemical that regulates pH, absorbs excess H+ or OH- Eg: stomach pH2, urine pH 5~7.8, blood pH 7.4
56
Solution
Mixture of different chemicals
57
Solute
A minor component or substance
58
Solvent
Fluid that the solute is dissolved in. Must form bonds with other chemicals
59
Water
``` 71% of the earth surface, 66% humans Solid (ice) is less dense than liquid Absorbs + insulates heat Cohesive + adhesive H2O is a polar molecule, opposite of nonpolar Electrons attracted more to O than to H O side is more negative than H side. ```
60
Adhesive
Force of attraction between different substances Eg: glass & water
61
Cohesive
Force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.
62
Solubility
Ability to dissolve in solvent (water or lipid)
63
Water (soluble) if
Polar = hydrophilic
64
Lipid (soluble) if
Nonpolar =hydrophobic
65
