AP Bio unit 1

Dehydration reaction

Is the process in which monomers join together to form polymers.

Polymers

separated into monomers

Proteins

Amino acids which are the workers- enzymes is the lower activation energy and provides an active sight - are peptide bonds and includes carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur due to the R group

Carbs

Monosaccharide units linked by glycosidic linkage and includes carbon hydrogen and oxygen

Lipids

Ester linkage includes carbon, hydrogen, and less oxygen

Nucleic acids

Amino acid

Peptide bond

one ring carboxyl

monosaccharide

adenine and thymine

two bonds

Denaturation

Breaking hydrogen bonds

di-

Is two

Peptide bonds

Between the amino acids

If a rabbit is going to eat a plant to get its

starch plants store the glucose as starch

Polar covalent

hydrogen bonding

Humans

store their glucose as glycogon in our liver and muscles

Amino acid that direclty contributes to this property

R group

Base pairing

Anytime there are hydrogen bonds

purines

two adenines and gaunines other are pyrimidines when there are one

Start is aug

Primary

no hydrogen bonds

Monomers

small units that are joined together to form polymers.

Saturated fats

tend to be solid at room temperature;

unsaturated fats

are liquid at room temperature
