25
glycogen
and humans and annimals store sugars | breaks down glycogen through hydrolysis in the process releasing glucosse
26
cellulose
part of a plant cell wall
27
can humans break down cellulose
no
28
glycosidic linkage
how sugars link
29
lipids
hydrophobic | form non polar covalent bonds
30
fats
fatty acids and glycerol
31
2 types of fatty acids
saturated and unsaturated
32
saturated fatty acids
all hydrogen position are taken non double bond more solid at room temp
33
unsaturated fatty acids
have double bond | not all hydrogen position are taken
34
which is better saturated or non saturated fatty acids
unsaturated fatty acids
35
trans double bond
orriente around double bond
36
which is worse trans fats or saturates fats
trans fats
37
what do fats store
energy
38
phospholipids
phosphate head polar | lipids tails non polar
39
cell membrane
a bilayer of phospholipids
40
do steriods rely on fatty acids
no
41
how many fused rings do lipids have
4
42
can we live without steriods
no
43
cholesterol
a type of steriods
44
how many % of body mass does proteins make up
more then 50
45
what are proteins made up of
2 amino acids
46
what do proteins form
polypeptyde bonds
47
4 structures of proteins
1. primary 2. secondary 3. teritiary 4. coronary
48
primary structure
one long line of amino acids
49
secondary structure
found in most proteins
50
2 types of secondary proteins
alpha hellis and beta pleated sheets
51
ex of secondary structure
collagen
52
teritary structure
interaction among chains
53
ex of teriratary structure
enzymes
54
coronary structure
when 2 or more chains are put together
55
ex of coronary structure
hemoglobin
56
amino acids
building blocks of proteins
57
what are functional groups written as
R
58
diff types of proteins
``` enzymes antibodies storage proteins transport proteins hormonal proteins receptor proteins ```
59
enzymes
spead up chemical reaction
60
storage proteins
stored amino acids
61
ex of transport proteins
hemoglobin
62
nucleotide
monomers of nucleic acid
63
DNA
directs synthesis of messenger RNA
64
what makes up nucelotide
nitrogenous base pentose sugar phosphate group
65
nitrogenous base
A-T | C-G
66
