How many valence electrons does carbon have
4
How and why is carbon so versatile?
it can bond itself and other atoms in many different ways
A molecule is organic if it has a
carbon-hydrogen bond
Is H2O organic
no
Is CH4 organic
yes
Is C6H12O6 organic
yes
Isomers are two different molecules with the same chemical formula BUT
different structural formula
dehydration
take the water out of something
synthesis
putting things together to make something new
dehydration synthesis
taking water from a molecule and creating something new thats waterless
hydrolysis
to break apart molecules by adding water
What must be removed to combine 2 glucose molecules?
water (H2O)
What is the name of the reaction used to combine 2 glucose molecules?
dehydration synthesis
What is the molecular formula of starch when you combine 4 glucose molecules?
C24H40O20
What is the ratio of C to H to O?
1:2:1
What is the name of the reaction used to break starch back into monosaccharides?
hydrolysis, which uses water to break the bonds between monosaccharides.
CHO
carb/lipid
CHON
protein
CHONP
nucleic acid
monomer (building block) of carb is
monosaccharide (glucose)
2 monosaccharides make a
dissaccharides
lots of monosaccharides joined together are called
polysaccharides
lipids contain
fat and oils
do lipids dissolve in water?
No, they are hydrophobic (they don’t like water)
lipids monomer is
glycerol and fatty acids
saccharide is another name for
sugar
hydrolysis
to break apart molecules by adding water
monomer of protein is
amino acid
most of a protein contains
many amino acids bonded together
nucleic acids contain
DNA
nucleic acids monomer is
nucleotide
What are the 2 results of using a Hydrolysis reaction on a disaccharide?
glucose and fructose
List 3 characteristics of Carbohydrates.
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
What are the 2 results of combining two monosaccharides by a dehydration synthesis reaction?
disaccharide
enzymes are
proteins
sequence of the amino acids; mostly straight shape and function determined by the sequence
primary structure
localized shape of a protein (folding because of + and - charges)
secondary structure
How the whole structure is held together (zig-zag)
tertiary structure
more than one folded polypeptide chain joined together
quaternary structure
consists of 2 to 50 amino acids linked by peptide bonds
peptide
types of lipids
fats, oils, waxes, steriods
atoms on the same side in an isomer
sis
atoms on the opposite sides in an isomer
trans
2 carbons
eth(ane)
3 carbons
prop(ane)
4 carbons
but(ane)
glucose and fructose are
monosaccharides
what does it mean to be lactose intolerant
your body does not have the enzymes to break up the dissaccharide (lactose)
starch and cellulose are both chains of
glucose molecules
what can we not eat and break down
cellulose
what can we eat and break down
starch
ration of H to O is great in
lipids than carbs
a single glycerol and 3 fatty acid chains make a
triglycerol
lipids are ______ (no charges) which means they are hydrophobic and cannot be dissolved in water
nonpolar
saturated fats
-no double bonds
-linear structure
-high melting point
-solid at room temp
-called a fat
unsaturated fat
-1 or more double bonds
-kinked structure
-low melting point
-liquid at room temp
-called an oil
what makes saturated fats so unhealthy
they are more stackable (you can fit more fat in a small space)
what causes the bend in a molecule
double carbon bond
3 parts of a nucleotide
sugar, phosphate, nitrogen base
hemoglobin
carries oxygen to our cells and CO2 out of our bodies
what gives blood its reddish color
iron in the middle of a protein molecule
what do amino acids have in common
all have an NH2, a C double bonded to an H and an OH, and CH in between both
NH2 group is called
amino group
amino acids are joined by
peptide bonds
peptide bonds are formed by
dehydration synthesis
2 amino acids in a chain are called
dipeptide
what is lipids function
long term energy storage and cell structure
what is a denatured protein
a protein that cannot function
monounsaturated vs polyunsaturated
one double bond; multiple double bonds
what type of catalyst is an enzyme
biological
what are R groups
the part of the amino acid that is different for every one
what is nucleic acids function
stores genetic information
what are the 2 types of nucleic acids
DNA and RNA
lock and key model vs induced fit model
enzyme always in a ready position; waits until substrate is near to form
