(17 cards)

Hydrophilic

Front

Water loving

Back

Hydrophobic

Front

Water fearing

Back

Polar Molecule

Front

An asymmetrical molecule with a slight charge (dipole); that is hydrophilic (water loving) ex: water

Back

Lipids

Front

Consists of chains of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen Hydrophobic Function: energy storage, structure, steroids, hormones

Back

Proteins

Front

Consists of S, P, C, O, H, and N R-group is variable region of amino acid Polymers of amino acids Function: many, including growth and repair

Back

Cohesion

Front

Attraction of water molecules to one another

Back

Nucleic Acids

Front

RNA, DNA, ATP Polymers of nucleotides Nucleotides consist of sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base

Back

Nonpolar Molecule

Front

A symmetrical or balanced molecule with no charge; hydrophobic (water fearing) ex: lipid

Back

Steroid

Front

Lipid made of 4 carbon rings

Back

Primary Structure (Protein)

Front

Determined by the amino acid sequence of the chain attached by peptide bonds

Back

Properties of Water

Front

Ice is less dense than water Very polar High specific heat High heat of vaporization Universal solvent Strong cohesion property

Back

Adhesion

Front

Attraction of water molecules to other substances

Back

Quaternary Structure (Protein)

Front

Determined by the interactions between 2 or more chains of polypeptides

Back

pH

Front

measure of concentration of hydrogen ions

Back

Secondary Structure (Protein)

Front

Determined by intermolecular hydrogen bonding within the chain alpha helix and beta pleated sheets

Back

Carbohydrates

Front

Consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio Polymers of monosaccharides Function: quick energy Ex: glucose, lactose, sucrose, maltose

Back

Tertiary Structure (Protein)

Front

3-D shape determined by the folding and interactions between amino acids (e.g., nonpolar, polar, disulfide bridges)

Back
