(145 cards)
three chemcical bonds
hydrogen, covalent, and ionic bonds
order of the least strongest to strongest bond
hydrogen, ionic, polar covalent, non-polar covalent
polar cavelnt molecule
water
four types of inorganic compounds
water, acids, bases, salts (ionic-anions and cations in water), do not contain carbon atoms in chain
universal solvent
water because it is abundant, high heat capacity, and a thermoregulator
buffers
acid-balance regulators, able to resis abrupt changes to the pH by binding to H+ when pH drops
organic compounds
carbs (-saccharides), lipids (fats), nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), proteins
disaccharides
sucrose, lacose, maltose (linked by glycosidic bonds)
primary protien structure
linear chain
secondary protein structure
alphs helox or beta pleated sheet
tertiary protein structure
proteins coil to make 3D shape
quaternary protein structure
two or more polypeptide chains held by disulfide bonds
structural proteins
secondary structure, insoluble, mechanical support and are in an strand-like shape
fucntional proteins
soluble, (3/4 structure), ball-like, sensitive to low pH and high temp
fibrous proteins
structural proteins
denaturation
high temp and low pH levels
lipids
neutral fats, phospholpids, steriods, eicosanoids
unsaturated fats
double covalent bonds, liquid and plant based
saturated fats
single covalent bond, solid and animal based
what causes LDL proteins
the excess consumption of saturated fats
good cholesterol
HDLs
bad cholesterol
LDLs, the excess cholesterol increases and the amount of plaque increases causing it to clog the arteries and prevent blood flow
phospholipids
glycerol bakcbone,2 fatty acid chain, and a phosphorous containing group
what receptors fo steriodogenic cells express?
LDL receptors because LDL binds to LDL receptors o the surface of steriodogenic cells and are taken in via receptor-mediated endocytosis
