Carbohydrates
Simple (sugars), (Uses)made of CHO, stores energy and helps structure. Monomer:Monosaccharides. Polymer:Polysaccharides. Ex glucose,starch bread cellulose
Lipids
(Fats and oils), CHO (sometimes P).(uses)long term energy, insulation, protection and waterproofing. Made of one glycerol + 3 fatty acids. Ex Olive oil, wax, steroids, butter, cholestal, avocado oil.
Proteins
(amino acids), CHON(sometimes S), (uses) builds muscles, skin and hair, speeds up chemical reactions, helps immune system and sends chemical medicine. Monomer: amino acids, Polymer: polypeptide. Ex: Hormones, antibodies, enzymes, HEMOGLOBIN.
Nucleic acids
(Nucleotide), CHONP, (uses) transmits hereditary information and stores instruction for cells, Monomer: sugar, phosphate group, nitrogen base, Polymer Deoxyribose and ribose. Made of a nitrogen base, sugar and a phosphate group. Ex:DNA and RNA
Phospholipid
A lipid that contains phosphorus
Saturated fats
Single bonded, solid at room temp, are usually bad for you(straight bond)
unsaturated fats
Double bonded, liquid at room temp and are good for you.( connected bond)[diagonal}
Hormones
help maintain homeostasis, thirst
Macromolecules
Large molecules; polymers, monomers, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids
Monosaccharides Simple sugar 1
simple sugars: glucose, galactose
Disaccharides: Simple sugar 2
sucrose, lactose
Polysaccharide
Glycogen (animals) Starch (plants) Cellulose (plants)
Peptide bond
joins together to become a polypeptide
Polypeptide
Folds polypeptides into the correct shape and become a protein
Hemoglobin
a hemoprotein composed of globin and heme that gives red blood cells their characteristic color
Chemical reactions
(Reactants) cellulose + oxygen. ---------> (reaction)=(products) Carbon dioxide + water vapor
cellulose
what all cell membrane is made of
Catalyst
speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy. It is not changed by the reaction.
Enzyme
A biological catalyst,(Speeds up reactions by lowering the activation energy)
Optimal Temperature
A certain temperature where the reaction rate is the highest.
Optimal pH
A certain pH were the reaction rate is the highest.
denature
When an enzyme passes optimal temperature or pH
Endothermic
When energy is absorbed over the course of the reaction
Exothermic
When energy is released over the course of the reaction
Enzyme substrate complex
Where the enzyme and the substrate combined to either become a substrate and an enzyme or a enzyme and two products.
Activation energy
The energy needed for the reactants to make a reaction
Phospholipid bilayer
2 layers of the cell membrane made of Hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails
Hydrophobic
Fatty and tails(lipid) fear of water
Hydrophilic
phosphate head(likes water)
Selectively permeable membrane(semi permeable)
some molecules can enter or exit but not both
Simple diffusion
a type of passive transport that moving molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration does not use ATP. Way to maintain homeostasis.
Facilitated diffusion
a type of passive transport that moving molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration does not use ATP. Uses protein channels or carrier proteins.
Osmosis
a type of passive transport that moves water from a high concentration to a low concentration. Moves from Hypotonic to Hypertonic. Does not require ATP
Hypertonic
When there are more solutes on one side
Hypotonic
When there are more water molecules on the other side
Isotonic
When the two sides of the membrane have equal solutes
Lyse
To burst
Osmosis Facilitated Diffusion
protein channel that uses aquaporin to move large amounts of water molecules
polar molecules
slightly charged(reject non polar)
non polar molecules
no charge(reject polar)
Active transport
transport of a substance across a cell membrane against the concentration gradient. Low to high concentration that requires ATP.
What does ATP turn into after it is used.
ATP turns into ADP
Endocytosis
takes in larger molecules
Exocytosis
(golgi) push out large molecules
extracellular
outside the cell
Intracellular
inside the cell
Protein membrane function
Channels and pumps Some attached to cytoskeleton Some form receptors
Carbohydrate membrane function
Act like identification cards
Phagocytosis
larger molecules
Pinocytosis
smaller substances
DNA
genetic material that organisms inherit from their parents. AGTC
RNA
single stranded genetic code AGUC
Monomer
subunits of polymer
Polymer
many monomers bonded together
Dehydration Synthesis
The process of building monomers to build a polymer by removing water from the reactant side
Hydrolysis
The process of breaking down a macromolecule into monomers
Receptor
receives molecules
