5472465740Phosphate-PO44
5472468118CarboxylActs as an acid; can donate an H+ -COOH or -COO-5
5472473630HydroxylIs polar and has double covalent bonds6
5472486592Ionic BondsTransfer electrons7
5472488069Covalent BondsShare electrons8
5472489784Hydrogen BondsOccur in polar molecules9
5472494740Cohesion and Surface tension"Sticks to itself" due to H bonding10
5472498590AdhesionWater sticks to other substances as long as H bonds are a possibility (plants drinking water)11
5472502315Capillary ActionIs a mix between adhesion and cohesion (like when you hold water in a straw)12
5472510243High Specific Heat and High Heat of VaporizationA measure of kinetic energy13
5472511844Universal SolventWater is "good dissolver" of all things polar14
5472518099PolarUnequal sharing of electrons15
5472542777IsomersA rearrangement oof a molecule's somponents16
5472549420EndergonicUses energy to complete a reaction17
5472550780ExergonicGives you a net gain of energy18
5472557313Glucose19
5472559774Deoxyribose20
5472561388Ribose21
5472564770Lipids-Are hydrophobic -Common ex. is triglyceride Cholesterol is this22
5472574222Saturated FatEasy to pack in to be a solid at room temperature and easier to break down (like butter) (the three flags on one pole)23
5472581157Unsaturated FatTends to be a liquid at room temperature (like olive oil)24
5472593823Amino AcidsMake up enzymes, "building blocks" for enzymes; stucture determines the enzyme's function; linked through peptide bondsthrough dehydration synthesis25
5472614212Hydrophobic/ hydrophilicShape protiens based on the R groups involved26
5472623598Primary StructureThe order of the amino acids27
5472627067Secondary StuctureThe interaction of primary structure with itself forming hydrogen bonds (interaction with immideate group)28
5472633124Tertiary StructureThe interaction of the secondary structures with other secondary structures within the same chain of amino acids (interaction with sub group)29
5472637515Quaternary StructureThe introduction of additional amino acid chains. (the whole thing)30
5472648695DenaturationWhen the shape of a protein irreversibly change31

Need Notes?

While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
