Q

The molecular interactions between R groups from different amino acids in tertiary and quaternary structure include

A

Hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, hydrophobic interactions

24
Q

Carbohydrates

A
  • consist of a 1:2:1 ratio of C to H to O
  • Monomer = monosaccharide
    Monosaccharides liked together by covalent glycosidic linkages
25
Lipids
- do not interact with or dissolve well in water -non polar - contain primarily C and H
26
Nucleic acids
- contain C,H,O,N, AND P - monomer = nucleotides - nucleotides liked together by covalent phosphodiester bonds
27
Proteins
- contain C,H,O,N and usually S - monomer = amino acids - amino acids liked together by peptide bonds
28
Carbohydrate functions
Storing energy for an organism (starch, glycogen, triacylglycerols) and forming cell walls ( cellulose and chitin)
29
Lipid functions
Forming cell membranes (phospholipids) Acting as hormones(steroids) Storing energy for and organism (starch, glycogen, triacylglycerols)
30
Nucleic acids function
- containing the genetic information to code for proteins (DNA & RNA) - serving as biological catalyst (RNA) - making up the genetic material of an organism (DNA)
31
All organic molecules have a ‘backbone’ of
Carbon atoms held together by covalent bonds
32
Hydrocarbons
- comprised of carbon and hydrogen atoms - nonpolar -hydrophobic -insoluble
33
Polymers are built by
Condensation reactions
34
Polymers see degraded into monomers by
Hydrolysis reactions
35
Most polysaccharides are made from the monomer
Glucose
36
Triacylglycerols are formed from
Glycerol and 3 fatty acid chains covalent;y bonded together
37
Amphipathic
One end of the molecule is hydrophilic and the other is hydrophobic ; phospholipids
38
Steroid consists of carbon atoms arranged in
4 attached rings
39
DNA contains
- purines, guanine, and adenine - pry,idijes cytosine and thymine
40
RNA contains
- purines adenine and guanine -primidines cytosine and uracil
41
Deoxyribose
5 carbon monosaccharides
42
Ribose
Five carbon monosaccharides
43
Polypeptide
Chain of amino acids bonded together
44
R groups that a polar, basic, or acidic result in
Amino acids that are hydrophilic
45
R groups that are non polar result in
hydrophobic amino acids
46
Basic amino acids
Have an r group with a(n) amino group
47
Acidic amino acids have a group with a(n)
carboxyl group
48
Primary structure
First level of organization of polypeptide; results in a sequence of its amino acids
49
Secondary structure of polypeptide
- hydrogen bonding - alpha helix structure and beta pleated sheet
50
Tertiary structure
Generates the overall shape of a single polypeptide
51
Quaternary structure
Results from interactions among multiple polypeptides to generate functional protein
52
Why are hydrocarbons (methyl) insoluble in water?
Their bonds are nonpolar covalent carbon- to- hydrogen linkages
53
Phospholipids and triacylglycerols must interact with one another by
Van der Waals interactions
54
Amino group with one or more carbonyl functional group
Polar
55
Which functional group or atoms would need to be present in the R groups for hydrophobic interactions to occur between two amino acids?
R groups with C’s and H’s
56
Nucleotides contain
A nitrogenous base
