Q

hydrolysis reaction are?

A
  • addition of water to a molecule, are one way a polymer breaks down into constinuent molecules
  • opposite ti dehydration(creates larger molecules from smaller monoomers throguh a loss of water

Q

Fats can be considered saturated or unsaturated, based on the presence or absence of

A

double bonds in each fatty acid, and thus potential saturation with the maximum number of hydrogens.

Q

Satured and unsaturated fatty acids also exist in

A

phospholipids- only 2 fatty acids attached to glycerol, and a charged phospahte group in place of the third fatty acid

17
Q

Hydrophilic phosphate head and hydrocarbon tail forms?

A

A bilayer, the cell membrane

18
Q

The hydrophilic phosphate heads are in contact with

A

asqueous solution inside and outside of the cell

19
Q

While Hydrophobic tails

A

face eachother, shielded and away of contact with water

20
Q

Steroids(like cholesterol)

A
  • unique fused structure with a carbon skeleton of 4 hydrocarbon rings- chemical structure different from fats and phosphilipids
21
Q

Carbohydrates

A
  • compound composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
  • molecules get their name from emperical formula of many monosaccharides that have 2 atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen for every carbon
22
Q

simple carbohydrates are

A

monomers and dimers called disaccharides

23
Q

Complex carbohydrates are

A

Polymers called polysaccharides

24
Q

Monosaccharide can be classified as

A

Aldose or ketose by its functional group

25
Those having a aldehyde group are
aldoses
26
those having a Ketone group are
ketoses
27
Monosaccharide usually contain
3-7 carbons atoms in their chains
28
Each of the carbon can be numered starting with
- the number one from the end closest to the carbonyl carbon.
29
Sugars can form
- non-planar ring structures and in nature mostly exist in this cyclic form
30
Ring structures form when
- the carbonyl group reacts with a hydroxyl group at the opposite end of the molecule through a condensation reaction
31
The carbon attached to the reactive aldehyde or ketone is also known as
the anomeric carbon
32
carbon-oxygen ring structures can exist as two anomers:
alpha and beta
33
Anomers are structural isomers that differ in
the configuration at the carbonyl carbon
34
Bonds formed below the ring structure are known as
beta linkages
35
When two monosaccharides link together through glycosidic linkages, they form
disaccharides
36
Glycosidic linkages are
covalent bonds that are formed when the hydroxyl group of one monosaccharide reacts with the anomeric carbon of another monosaccharide with the elimination of a water molecule.
37
Polysaccharides or complex carbohydrates are
a chain of monosaccharides held together by covalent bonds
38
Glucose molecules linked through B-1-4 glycosidic bonds forms?
Cellulose Water insoluble polysaccharide
39
Glucose linked through a-1-4 glycosidic bonds forms?
Amylose water-soluble polymer and a component of starch
40
Starch and cellulose are polysaccharides found in
Plants
41
Glycogen is a water-insoluble molecule made of
glucose linked through a-1-4 glycosidic bonds and inetermittent branching through a-1-6 glycosidic bonds
42
Glycogen serves as
a storage polysaccharide in animals
