1
New cards

covalent bond definition and speciality

the electrostatic attraction between shared pairs of electrons between the positively charged nuclei and the negatively charged electron

able to form stable and complex structures

2
New cards

condenstaion reaction, describe and forms whatCondensation

removal of water to form bonds between the 2 molecules

3
New cards

how to name covalent bond between 2 monosaccharide

glycosidic bond

4
New cards

examples of monosaccharide, disaccharide and polysaccharide (give 2 per each bro)

mon: glucose, fructose, DNA STUFF → ribose and deoxyribose

di: lactose, maltose

poly: amylopectin, starch, cellulose gor d

5
New cards

linkages between glucose, number of carbon linked and shape (linear? branched)

1-4 linkage = linear

1-6 linkage = branched

6
New cards

types of glucose? what’s the difference in arrangement?

alpha glucose - H on right top, OH on right bottom

beta glucose - OH on right top, H on bottom right

7
New cards

opposite of condensation reaction? for what? define digestion

hydrolysis → adding water → adds water to break apart 2 molecules

for digestion → chemical breakdown of larger molecules to small molecules

8
New cards

monosacharide types

  1. triose 3 carbon

  2. pentose 5 carbon

  3. hexose 6 carbon (glucose)

9
New cards

glucose characteristics (4)

  1. soluble in water polar

  2. small

  3. stable

  4. yields a lot of energy when oxidised

10
New cards

polysaccharides characteristics

  1. not soluble

  2. no fixed size

11
New cards

cellulose function what

  • structural support

  • plant cell wall material type shit

12
New cards

polysaccharide energy storage for plants and animals?

  • plants: starch

  • animals: glycogen

13
New cards

starch forms

  • amylose: 1-4 linkages

  • amylopectin: 1-4 AND 1-6 linkages

14
New cards

state characterstics of amylose - waht kind of glucose? linkage? shape?

  • alpha glucose

  • 1-4 linakges

  • spiral chain

15
New cards

state characteristics of amylopectin: waht glucose, linkage? shape?

  • alpha glucose

  • 1-4 and 1-6

  • spral AND branches(even more branched)

16
New cards

glycogen? what is it, glucose, animal or plant, linkage, shape

  • energy storage molecule for animals

  • alpha glucose

  • animal

  • 1-4 and 1-6

  • highly branched

17
New cards

cellulose? what is it? glucose type? linkage? shape? what type of bond can also be bonds between parallel chains

  • structural component of plant cell walls NOT FOR ENERGY, a structural component

  • beta glucose

  • 1-4 linkage (linear)

  • straight and strong

  • hydrogen bonds held between parallel chains

18
New cards

glycoprotein what is it, function?

polypetpide with attached carbohydrate chain

faces outward, for cell recognition

19
New cards

glycoprotein in cell cell recognition? antigen how is it related

antigen: recognition features on the outside of cells

20
New cards

lipid characteristics

  • non polar, water hating hydrophobic

  • non soluble in water

21
New cards

lipid examples

  • fats

  • oils

  • waxes

  • steroids

22
New cards

groups that must appear in lipids

  • carboxyl group (OH-C=O)

  • methyl group (CH3)

  • CARBOn chian with hydirgen attached

23
New cards

what forms triglyceride? how many H2O? water hating/loving?whole?

glycerol + 3 fatty acids

3 H2O since there’s 3 removal of H2O → 3 bonds

all are water hating

24
New cards

phospholipid characteristic? 1 word + describe what it means

amphipathic: have both hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts

25
New cards

formation of phospholipid? equation

phospholipid = phosphate group + glycerol + 2 fatty acid tails

26
New cards

which part in teh phospholipid is polar/nonpolar

polar: phosphate head/group

non polar: fatty acid tails

27
New cards

saturated fatty acids characteristics (3)

  1. single bonds

  2. straight

  3. solid at room temperature

28
New cards

monosaturated characteristics

  1. not striaght, is bent/have a kink, due to not having single bond, have a double bond within a chain

MONO = 1 double bond somewhere in the chain

so 2 carbons have ONLY 1 H bodned → since double bonded with each other C

29
New cards

polyunsaturated characteristics, and what about transfatty acid?

  1. many KINKS

  2. because of MANY DOUBLE BONDS

However there are exceptions:

double bond doesnt mean that its a must in kink in double bond → e.g transfatty acid → H- is on opposite

30
New cards

cis vs trans-unsaturated fatty acid (3+4)

cis-unsaturated fatty acids:

  • H atoms are on the same side of the chain → so there’s gonna be kinks

  • most natural fatty acids

  • oils

trans-unsaturated fatty acids

  • hydrogen atoms on opposite sides of the chain

  • striaghtens the chain

  • man-made

  • solidify

31
New cards

adipose tissue characteristics (5)

  • from trigluceride

  • energy storage

  • thermal insulation → not good at conducting heat

  • insoluble

  • 9cal/g

  • stable

32
New cards

lipid bilayer characteristics, what can get through what can not?

  • only non polar stuff can get through, e.g steroid hormone can straght thriugh pass through lipid bilayer
