2
New cards

keto

- polar
- c=o group is very reactive
-is important in building/creating carbohydrates and in energy-releasing reactions

4
New cards

carboxyl

- charged
- acidic
- ionizes in living tissues to form -COO- and H+
- enters into condensation reactions by giving up -OH making H20
- some carboxyic acids important in energy releasing reactions

6
New cards

amino

- charged
- basic: not acidic
- accepts H+ in living tissues to form -NH3+
- enters into condensation reactions by giving up H+

8
New cards

hydroxyl

- polar
-forms hydrogen bonds with water to help dissolve molecules.
-enables linkage to other molecules by condensation

New cards

aldehyde

- polar
- c=o group is very reactive
- important in building molecules and in energy-releasing reactions

11
New cards

phosphate

- charged
- acidic
- enters into condensation reactions by giving up -OH
- when bonded to another phosphate, hydrolysis releases a lot much energy

13
New cards

sulfhydryl

- gives up H
-Allows two -SH groups allows the reaction to create a disulfide bridge, thus stabilizing protein structure

-energy conversion
-cell wall structure
-cell recognition
-nucleotide structure
-follows the same 1:2:1 CH2O ratio. every 1 carbon, 2 hydrogen, 1 oxygen

20
