Q

what’s the difference between a solution, solute, and solvent?

A

solution is the mixture of 2 + substances , solvent is the dissolving medium (thing used to dissolve a solution) , and a solute is the dissolved substance (result/product)

A

dehydration synthesis

21
Q

22
Q

what are polysaccharides?

A

complex carbohydrates built from simple carbohydrates and linked through dehydrations synthesis.

23
Q

a storage polysaccharide that consists of glucose molecules in plants

24
Q

a type of animal starch that is highly branched, a glucose-rich polysaccharide stored in the liver and skeletal muscle of animals

25
what does the Benedict's test test for and what color changes occurs?
tests for reducing sugars. The test changes from blue (-) to green, orange, brown (+) after adding heat
26
what does the Lugol's Iodine test test for and what color changed occur?
tests for the presence of starch. the test changed from clear/orange brown (-) to a black (+)
27
this acid and its fat contains the max # of hydrogen ions. it is solid at room temperature; is straight in structure
saturated fatty acids and saturated fats
28
this acid and its fat have 1 or more double bonds between the carbon atoms and is liquid at room temperature; is bent/bending in structure
unsaturated fatty acid and unsaturated fat
29
if an unsaturated faty acid has one double bond, it is known as what?
monosatturatted
30
if an unsaturated fatty acid has more than one double bond present, it is known as what?
polyunsaturated
31
these consist of an alcohol bonded with a long-chain fatty acid. they are solid at room temperature and repel water
waxes
32
What does the Dice Diphenylamine test test for and what color changes occur?
tests to identify DNA presence. it changes from clear (-) to blue (+) ;b the darker the blue = more DNA
33
What does the Sudan III test test for and what color changes occur
tests for presence of lipids. bright orange (+) = lipids presence light orange (+) = less lipids present no orange stain (-) = no lipids presence
34
the building blocks of proteins ; compounds that have an amino group and a carboxyl group, sometimes an R group
amino acids

1.valine 2. phenylalanine 3. alanine 4. proline 5. glycine 6. methionine 7. tryptophan 8. leucine 9. isoleucine
36
give 3 examples of amino acids with polar (hydrophilic) R groups:
1. serine 2. cysteine 3. threonine 4. tyrosine 5. asparagine 6. glutamine
37
give 3 examples of amino acids with ionized R groups:
1. glutamic acid 2. lysine 3. histidine 4. arginine 5. aspartic acid
38
a covalent bond that forms between the amino groups of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another amino acid during dehydration synthesis reaction ; links amino acids
peptide bonds
39
structural unit composed of more than 100 amino acids linked by peptide bonds
polypeptides
40
What does the Biuret test test for and what color changes occur?
tests for the presence of protein. purple = (+) presence of proteins blue = (-) absence of proteins
