Q

polar covalent bonds

A

electrons are not shared equally between neighboring atoms-electrons spend more time orbiting one atom than the other

Q

4 basic types of organic molecules in human body

A

carbohydrates lipids proteins nucleic acids

20
Q

carbohydrates

A

carbon molecules are each bound to a water molecule function as fuel molecules

21
Q

3 types of carbohydrates

A
  1. monosaccharides “sugars” basic carbs 2. disaccharides “sugars” 2 monosaccharides bound together 3. polysaccharides 3 or more monosaccharides linked end to end complex carbs
22
Q

3 types of monosaccharides

A

glucose “blood sugar” fructose “fruit sugar” galactose

23
Q

3 types of disaccharides “sugars”

A
  1. sucrose “cane sugar” glucose molecule linked w/ fructose molecule 2. lactose “milk sugar” glucose molecule linked w/ galactose molecule 3. maltose “malt sugar” 2 glucoses linked together
24
Q

3 types of polysaccharides

A
  1. glycogen “animal starch” fuel molecules found in muscle & liver cells 2. amylose “plant/corn starch” fuel molecules found in plants 3. cellulose “fiber” found in plants-we don’t have enzymes to break it down so it passes right through us
25
lipids function as
fuel molecules hormones structural molecules
26
Na has 11 protons Na+2 has how many electrons Cl has 17 protons Cl-1 has how many electrons
+2 means their are 2 more protons than electrons so there are 9 electrons -1 means their are 1 less protons than electrons so there are 18 protons
27
3 types of lipids
1. triglycerides 2. phospholipids 3. steroids
28
triglycerides function as what kind of molecules and are made of what
function as hydrophobic fuel molecules abundant in fat cells made-up of a glycerol molecule linked to 3 fatty acid molecules
29
phospholipids function as what kind of molecules and are made of what
function as structural molecules-main molecules in cell membranes made-up of a glycerol molecule linked to 2 fatty acids and 1 phosphate molecule active ingredient in soap, detergent and shampoo
30
phospholipids when mixed with water
form microscopic spheres w/ water on inside and outside wall of sphere is made-up of 2 layers of phospholipids inner and outer layer of phospholipid heads dissolve in water both layers of fatty acid tails dissolve in each other
31
2 functions of steroids and their structure
function as structural molecules and hormones have a complex 4 ring structure EX: cholesterol, testosterone, estrogen, cortisol etc.
32
2 types of fatty acids and what they look like
1. saturated fatty acids-straight chain of carbons 2. unsaturated fatty acids-have a kink in the carbon chain (bent molecule)
33
3 types of triglycerides
1. saturated fat 2. unsaturated fat 3. trans fat
34
saturated fat
triglycerides where the glcerol molecule is linked w/ 3 fatty acid molecules are saturated fatty acids typically solid at room temp EX: in meats, butter, lard, shortening
35
unsaturated fat
triglycerides where the glycerol molecule is linked w/ at least 1 unsaturated fatty acid typically liquid at room temp EX: in oils such as olive, peanut, veg, canola
36
trans fat
triglycerides whwre the glycerol molecule is linked w/ abnormal/unnatural fatty acids formed when saturated or unsaturated fats are heated at high temps or they're made as a byproduct when saturated fats are made in a lab
37
7 possible functions of proteins
1. fuel molecules 2. structural molecules 3. hormones 4. channels 5. receptors 6. pumps 7. enzymes
38
enzymes are what
proteins that trigger chemical reactions
39
proteins are made of what and what is their structure
typically huge molecules made-up of long chains of amino acids (20 different kinds in human body) linked end to end w/ a complex 3 dimensional structure twisted and folded onto itself
40
peptides are what
proteins made-up of less than 50 amino acids
41
polypeptides are what
proteins made-up of more than 50 amino acids
42
nucleic acids function as what 2 types of molecules and are made of what
function as fuel molecules and genetic molecules made-up of nucleotides
43
3 common nucleic acids
1. DNA 2. RNA 3. ATP
44
nucleotides are what
building blocks of nucleic acids
45
5 types of nucleotides
A, G, C, T, U
