Hydrolysis
What breaks polymers into monomers./ What separates fatty acids from glycerol
23
New cards
Monosaccharides
The monomers that make up carbohydrates. Ex. Ribose, Glucose, Fructose
24
New cards
Disaccharides
Two monosaccharides join together to form_______. Ex. Sucrose
25
New cards
Polysaccharides
Long chains of carbohydrates Ex. Cellulose, Starch, Glycogen
26
New cards
Amino Acids
The monomers for protein (20 different ones) each have their own chemical and physical properties
27
New cards
Dipeptide
Two proteins monomers (amino acids) form this.
28
New cards
Polypeptide
A chain of protein monomers (amino acids) form this.
29
New cards
The function of a protein is dependent on?
Its shape or tertiary structure
30
New cards
Primary structure
Amino acid sequence of a polypeptide (sequence)
31
New cards
Secondary structure
Localized areas of coils, sheets, and loops within a polypeptide (substructure)
32
New cards
Tertiary Structure
Overall shape of one polypeptide
33
New cards
Quaternary Structure
Overall protein shape, arising from interaction between the multiple polypeptides that make up the functional protein. Only proteins with multiple polypeptides have quaternary structure
Energy rich substances used for long term energy storage. Ex. Fats and Oils
38
New cards
Steroids
Group of lipids with a 4-ring Structure of carbon atoms. (Not much info in the ppt)
39
New cards
How are Triglycerides formed?
Through covalent bonds attaching three fatty acid molecules to a glycerol molecule
40
New cards
Saturated Fatty acids
When the carbon in a fatty acid is bonded to four other atoms, the fatty acid holds a straight shape Ex. Butter
41
New cards
Unsaturated Fatty Acids
When the carbon atom in a fatty acid contains at least one double bound, the fatty acid holds a bent shape. The bends prevent them from solidifying Ex. Oils
42
New cards
Cholesterol
\-Used to regulate the fluidity of animal cell membranes
