86899870844 classes of molecules that make up life:- Carbs - Lipids - Proteins -Nucleic Acids0
8689992198Molecules that are macromolecules:- Carbs - Proteins _ Nucleic Acids1
8690015502The order of macromolecule groups are...Monomer --> Polymer --> Macromolecules2
8690022020Dehydration reactionThe loss of an H2O molecule to bond monomers together3
8690025800HydrolysisThe addition of an H2O molecule to break/disassemble down monomers4
8690034281Carbohydrates- monosacccaride --> disaccaride --> polysaccaride - Used as energy for ATP, to build the cell wall/ membrane, stored energy etc. - The # and type of molecules determine its function!!!5
8690064923What are carbs made of?C, H, & O (with a 2:1 hydrogen/oxygen ratio) - There is a 1:2:1 ratio in monomers6
8690080253Glycosidic linkageA C-O bond to from a disaccharide7
8690093392StarchA carb which stores energy in plants8
8690096575GlycogenA carb which stores energy in animals9
8690093393CelluloseA carb which helps form the cell wall10
8690103995ChitinA carb which builds the exoskeleton in arthropods, and the cell wall11
8690121186Lipids- have no polymers or monomers - makes up sex cells, steroids, fats, the cell membrane etc.12
8690134512What are lipids made up of?C,H, & O13
8690141024Triglyceride (fat) structure:3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol group14
8690145369Fatty acid structureA hydrocarbon and a carboxyl group15
8690155849Saturated fatty acid-Made up of only single bonds between the C and has the maximum amount of H - unhealthier for you than the alternative16
8690155850Unsaturated fatty acid- Has at least one double bond between the C so the maximum amount of H isn't used - healthier of you than the alternative17
8690180712GlycerolA 3 carbon-alcohol- where each C is bonded to a carboxyl18
8690183575Phospholipid- Made up of 2 fatty acids, a phosphate group, and glycerol - Have hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads19
8690183576Steroid- Made up of 4 fused C rings - Ex. sex cells, oxytocin20
8690186087CholesterolLDL's: Transports this to the blood stream HDL's: remove excess LDL's from the bloodstream to prevent it from clogging arteries21
8690186088Proteins- amino acid --> polypeptide - enzymatic catalysts, cell structure, storage, transportation in cells, etc.22
8690984901What are proteins made up of?C,H,O,N and sometimes S23
8690189005Amino acid structureA carboxyl group plus an amino group24
8690192008peptide bondA C-N bond through a dehydration reaction to join amino acids together to make a polypeptide25
8690785632Sickle-cell diseaseA blood disorder caused by the absence of one amino acid26
8691035842Ester linkagea bond between a fatty acid and a glycerol group through a dehydration reaction27
