1
New cards

Hydrophilic

Water loving I soluble

2
New cards

Hydrophobic

Water hating / insoluble

3
New cards

Organic compound

Carbon + hydrogen (proteins, carbohydrates lipids, nuclei c acid

4
New cards

Carbohydrates

Cho sugar & starches

5
New cards

Mono saccharides

Hexose: glucose fructose galactose

Penrose : deoxyribose ribose

6
New cards

Disaccharide des

sucrose ( sugar cane or table sugar) = glucose + fructose

Maltose (malt sugar) = glucose + glucose

Lactose (sugar in milk) = galactose + glucose

7
New cards

Glycogen

Polysac caride storage of animal tissue

8
New cards

Starch

Polysaccharide storage of plant tissue

9
New cards

Lipids

Chop, fat loving, water hating

10
New cards

Saturate d

Solid, long fatty acid chain

11
New cards

Unsaturated

Liquid, shorter fatty acid chain

12
New cards

Triglyceride

Glycerol + 3 fatty acid chain also has 3 water molecules in product

13
New cards

Adipose

Fat is long term energy source, bottom layer of skin

14
New cards

Phospholipids

Phosphorus containing group head + glycerol backbone + 2 fatty acid tails

15
New cards

Amphipathic

Unlike fats (hydrophobic), have a polar (hydrophilic) head, have a non-polar ( hydrophobic ) tail

16
New cards

Steroids

Basically cholesterol needed for cell membrane structure making steroid hormones and bile salts

17
New cards

Eicosanoids

Prostaglandin hormones makes you feel pain. Cyclogenase endorses pg

Aspirin lessens cyclogenase

18
New cards

Collagen

Give strength to bones, tendons, and ligaments

19
New cards

Keratin

Structural protein of hair and -nails like playdhe structure

20
New cards

Actin und myosin

Movemen + muscle

21
New cards

Enzymes

Catalysis (ase)

22
New cards

Hemoglobin x lipoproteins

Transport (hemoglobin in red blood cells have oxygen) citcome from bone marrow

23
New cards

Protiens hormones and insulin

Metabolism (except sex hormones)

24
New cards

Antibodies

Immunity (comes from white blood cells) #1 blood protein

25
New cards

Plasma proteins (albumin)

Buffets (come from liver)

26
New cards

Dehydration synthesis

The acid group of one amino acid bonded to the amine group of the next with a lass of a water molecule

27
New cards

Hydrolysis

Peptide bonds linking amino acids together are broken when water is added to the bond

28
New cards

Primary structure

Sequence of amino acid formed into polypeptide chain

29
New cards

Secondary structure

Forms a-helices and B sheets

30
New cards

A helices

Chains coiled into spiral stabilized with hydrogen bond

31
New cards

B sheet

Zig-zag pleated sheets with hydrogen bond

32
New cards

Tertiary structure

Folded up to make a ball then the way it folds is specific and determine by primary structure

33
New cards

Quaternary structure

2 or more tertiary forming to make protein

34
New cards

Osmolarity

Tota l concentration of all solute particles in solution

35
New cards

Hyposmatic

One solution has less solute on one side

36
New cards

Hyperosmatic

One solution has more. Solute on one side

37
New cards

Isosmatic

Osmolarity becoming equal on both sides

38
New cards

Osmotic C pressure

Tendency for osmosis to flow it’s measured by the greater difference, the more pressure needed to move

39
New cards

Tonicity

Human cell response to osmosis

40
New cards

Isotonic

Cell is normal size solute in cell and out are equal

41
New cards

Hypertonic

Solute out of cell is hella than the one inside so all the water inside goes out to join the fun water and cell shrivels up

42
New cards

Hypotonic

Hella solute inside cell all water move inside and cell swells and burst
