25
Sucrose is...
a disaccharide for energy
26
Starch is...
a polysaccharide for energy (in plants)
27
Cellulose is...
a polysaccharide for structure (makes up plant cell walls)
28
maltose is...
a disaccharide for energy
29
Glycogen is...
a polysaccharide
30
What 2 monomers are in most lipids?
glycerol + fatty acids
31
Structure of a glycerol (lipid)
3-carbon straight chain, each carbon is attached to one hydrogen group
32
Structure of a fatty acid
A fatty acid is either a straight chain or kinked with a carboxyl group at one end. It’s mostly hydrocarbon and is nonpolar and hydrophobic
33
As a whole lipids are...(philic or phobic)
Hydrophobic
34
A phospholipid makes up...
the plasma cell membrane
35
The arrangement of a phospholipid is...
The hydrophilic, polar, phosphate heads face outwards. The hydrophobic, nonpolar, fatty acid tails face inward.
36
How are steroids different than other lipids?
They are made up of 4 fused rings instead of having glycerol and fatty acids, so they do not form straight chains.
37
3 steroids are...
Cholesterol, testosterone, and estrogen
38
The energy function of a lipid is...
Long-term because of the many bonds
39
Triglyceride...
1 glycerol + 3 fatty acids (long-term energy storage)
40
Phospholipids monomers are...
1 glycerol + 2 fatty acids + 1 phosphate (makes up cell membrane)
41
Monomers of protein polymers
amino acids
42
Amino acids bond together through what process?
Dehydration synthesis
43
The "R" group of a protein is...
something that determines the function of the amino
44
Primary structure
sequence/order of amino acids (not a functioning protein)
45
Secondary structure
alpha helix and beta sheets formed by hydrogen bonds (when the amino acids start to twist)
46
Tertiary structure
A 3-D shape formed by twisting and folding through the interaction of the multiple “R” groups in the polypeptide (functioning protein)
47
Quaternary structure
2 (or more) polypeptides (in their tertiary structure) bond together to make a protein
48
When a protein loses its shape and can no longer can serve its function
Denature
49
What happens when a protein denatures
It loses its shape due to bonds breaking at a higher level of structure
50
Why are proteins more diverse than carbs & lipids
There are 20 different amino acids, so there are endless combinations that can be made into endless amino acid sequences.
51
What is the monomer of nucleic acids?
nucleotide
52
What is pentose
5-carbon sugar
53
CHO, CHO, CHON, CHONP
Carbs, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids
54
What helps with DNA & RNA
Nucleic acids
55
What provides insulation
lipids
56
What are the protein bonds called?
Peptide bonds
57
2 amino acids
dipeptide
58
3 amino acids
tripeptide
59
many amino acids
polypeptide
60
If a polypeptide doesn't fold...
it's not a functioning protein
61
Nucleotides/nucleic acids monomers are...
phosphate, a pentose sugar, and a nitrogenous base
62
Amino acids twisting
alpha helix
63
Amino acids folding on itself
beta sheets
64
What can make a protein denature (list 3)
if you mess with the heat, pH, and changes in the environment
65
Enzymes, antibodies, and hemoglobin are...
proteins
66
DNA and RNA are
nucleic acids
67
Carb monomer and polymer
monosaccharide and a polysaccharide
