Unit 2 Flashcards
(29 cards)
Adhesive
Water + other substances
Acid
H+, hydrogen
Base
OH-, hydroxide
Carbohydrates (elements, monomers)
- Provide and store energy
- CHO
- Monosaccharide
Lipids (elements, monomers).
- Insulate and make up cell membrane
- CHON
- Glycerol and three fatty acids.
Proteins (elements+monomers).
- Forms cell structure, controls cellular reaction rate
- HO
- Made of amino acids joined by peptide bonds
Nucleic Acid (elements+monomers)
- Control cell activity, genetic code
- NDP
- Nucleotides
Cohesive
Water + water
Amylase
Found in mouth, breaks down starch to sugars.
Pepsin
Stomach, breaks down proteins to amino acids
Lipase
Liver, breaks down fats.
Hydrogen bonds
The oppositely charged parts of water molecules are attracted to each other
All organic molecules contain
Carbon
Polysaccharide
- 2+ simple sugars, carbohydrates
Monosaccharide
- 1 sugar, simplest form of carbohydrates
Polysaccharide used to store energy in plants
Starch
Solvent
Can dissolve many substances
Buffers
- Weak acids + bases that stabilize pH and help to maintain the homeostasis of an organism
Cell membranes are made of a…
- Phospholipid Bilayer
Solute + Solvent
- Solute: dissolved
- Solvent: dissolver
pH
- Measure of hydrogen ion
Enzymes
- Proteins that control chemical reactions in cells
- Are catalysts
pH and temperature effect on Enzymes
- High pH and temperature irreversibly change the structure of proteins + alter their function
Dehydration Synthesis
- Put together while losing water
- Monomers combine w/each other via covalent bonds to form larger molecules aka polymers
