Reaction that results in larger biological molecules and the release of water
Condensation reaction
Results in smaller molecules
Hydrolysis reaction
Monosaccharides are typically polar and hydrophilic because of the presence of
Hydroxyl functional group
Forms fungal cell walls ; forms exoskeleton arthropods
Chitin
Starch
Stores energy in plants
Cellulose
Forms plant cell walls
Glycogen
Stores energy in animal muscle and liver cells
Saturated fatty acids are saturated with
Hydrogens
Unsaturated fatty acids
Contain more double bonds than saturated
Phospholipids
Made up of a phosphate group, glycerol, and two fatty acid chains
Nucleotides
Are made of nitrogenous bases, 5-C monosaccharide, and phosphate group
Which functional group in DNA and RNA contribute to their negative charge and name of nucleic ‘acids’?
Phosphate
Single strands of DNA OR RNA is held together by
Phosphodiester bonds between sugars and phosphates
Two strands of DNA are held together in a double helix by
hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases
The primary structure of a protein is maintained by
Covalent bonds
What levels of protein organization is hydrogen bonding involved in?
Secondary,tertiary, and quaternary
The molecular interactions between R groups from different amino acids in tertiary and quaternary structure include
Hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, hydrophobic interactions
Carbohydrates
- consist of a 1:2:1 ratio of C to H to O
- Monomer = monosaccharide
Monosaccharides liked together by covalent glycosidic linkages
