(24 cards)
Lugol’s Solution
- tests for starch (carbohydrates)
- negative: amber
- positive test: purplish black
Benedict’s Solution
- tests for simple sugar
- negative test: blue
- positive test: red orange
Biuret’s Solution
- tests for amino acid
- negative: light blue
- positive: Grayish violet
Brown Paper Bag
- tests for lipid
- negative test: not transparent
- positive test: transparent
Monosaccharide
- fructose
- glucose
- galactose
Disaccharide
- glucose + glucose= maltose (beer sugar)
- glucose + fructose= sucrose (table sugar)
- glucose + galactose= lactose (Milk sugar)
Polysaccharide
- Starch: multiple polysaccharide units bonded together
- glycogen: animal sugar stored in the liver
- cellulose: plant polysaccharide (cell wall)
- chitin: insect exoskeleton
Lipid
- three fatty acid and one glycerol
- nonpolar
- hydrophobic
- protects body from friction, allows organisms to store energy, insulation if organs
Protein Hierarchy
A. Primary structure
- chain
B. Secondary Structure
- Alpha Beta: hydrophilic sides, hydrophobic inside
- Beta pleated sheet: three or more hydrogen bonds
C. Tertiary structure
D. Quaternary Structure
Simple to Complex Amino Acid
Amino acid
Dipeptide
Polypeptide
Protein
- made up of amino acid
- build: muscles, bone, nails or hair, antibodies for the immune system
- involved in the production of enzymes
Enzymes
- discovered by Eduard Buchner in 1900
- suffix-ase
Amylase
Found in the mouth
Used to break apart starch
Protease
Breaks down proteins into amino acids
Lipase
Break down fats into glycerol and fatty acids
Catalysts
any substance that accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being changed
Activation Energy (EA)
Minimum amount of energy required in order for a chemical reaction to occur
Free energy
Amount of energy available for a reaction to occur
Exergonic
Release of energy
Endergonic
Take in energy
Substrate
any substance acted upon an enzyme
Ex. Sugar, protein, lipid
Enzyme Equation
E + S –> <– ES –> <– E + P
Factors that Affect the Rate of Enzyme
- pH
- temperature
- enzyme/ substrate concentration
Denature of an Enzyme
Caused by:
- low pH
- extreme high temperatures
