(35 cards)
acid
a compound that releases H+ (hydrogen ion)
base
a compound that releases OH- (hydroxyl ion)
organic compounds
carbohydrates,lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, adenosine triphosphate
carbohydrates break down into?
monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides
types of monosaccharides
glucose, frutose, galactose,ribose, and deoxyribose
what monosaccharides are used to make energy
glucose, fructose, and galactose
what is ribose part of
RNA
what is deoxyribose part of
DNA
types of disaccharides
sucrose, maltose, lactose
disaccharides
2 monosaccharides attached together
sucrose
glucose + fructose
maltose
glucose+ glucose
lactose
glucose + galactose
Types of polysaccharides
glycogen, starch, cellulose
glycogen
made by animal cells (lots of glucoses) (muscle and liver cells) function is to store energy
starch
made by plant cells function is to store energy
cellulose
made by plant cells function to give structure
how are the 3 polysaccharides shaped
glycogen (tree), Starch (spiral staircase), cellulose (line)
lipids
contain C, H, O. Not good solvents. Not a good solute
Types of lipids
triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol
triglycerides used for
used to make energy
phospholipds
polar compound that’s function is to be the main component of a cell membrane
cholesterol
steroid hormone synthesis
types of dietary lipids
saturated, unsaturated, and trans
