Section 1

(33 cards)

polypeptide

Front

a chain of two or more amino acids bonded together

Back

Carbohydrate

Front

carbon-based compounds that can be simple sugar molecules or long chain structures consisting of thousands of repeating monomers. Consist only of carbon hydrogen and oxygen. Ratio of C:H:O is 1:2:1

Back

Peptide bond

Front

bond that joins two amino acids together

Back

ether link

Front

bond that joins to sugar molecules together

Back

poly-unsaturated

Front

more than 1 double carbon to carbon bond. referred to as oils and are liquid at room temperature.

Back

dipeptide

Front

when two amnio acids join together

Back

Amino acid

Front

there are 20 different ones.

Back

condensation

Front

the process in which smaller sub-units or monomers bonded to form larger molecules

Back

Enzymes

Front

specific proteins made up of amino acids that catalyse particular reactions and denature when the pH or temperature is too high or low.

Back

mono-unsaturated

Front

single double carbon to carbon bond. referred to as oils. liquids at room temperature. CnH2n - 1

Back

monosaccharide

Front

simplest type of carbohydrate, made up of one complex sugar molecule.

Back

disulphide bridge

Front

a covalent bond formed between amino acids involving sulphur.

Back

Primary structure

Front

the specific sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain

Back

protein

Front

organic compound composed of carbon, hydrogen oxygen and nitrogen. They are polymers which are composed of many amino acids combined together. Chemical structure differs depending on what amino acids compose it. Amino acids differ based on the side chains they have.

Back

Triglyceride

Front

made up of one glycerol and three fatty acids

Back

hydrolysis

Front

the process by which larger molecules are broken down into component sub-units, by way of enzyme action.

Back

glycerol structure

Front

Back

lipids

Front

fats, waxes and oils. consist of carbon hydrogen and oxygen, don't refer to particular structure like amino acids. Ratio of C:H:O is 1:2:<1

Back

Tertiary structure

Front

3 dimensional folding which results in a specific shape

Back

fatty acid structure

Front

Back

Denaturing enzyme

Front

Back

hydrogen bonding

Front

electrostatic attraction between proton and electron in hydrogen and oxygen

Back

salt bridges

Front

formed between -NH3+ and -COO- groups. It's an ionic bond / electrostatic attraction between the two groups.

Back

disaccharide

Front

simple sugars, consist of two monosaccharides

Back

Glucose structure

Front

Back

Respiration equation

Front

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

Back

polysaccharide

Front

consists of long chains of repeating monosaccharides. natural polymers

Back

Biochemistry

Front

the study of chemical processes that occur within living organisms

Back

hydrolase

Front

enzyme that catalyses a hydrolysis reaction

Back

Secondary structure

Front

intramolecular hydrogen bonding forming beta sheets or alpha helix

Back

Relative fraction

Front

Rf

Back

saturated

Front

contains only single carbon to carbon bonds. Considered unhealthy as they are easily converted to cholesterol. CnH2n + 1

Back

ester link

Front

bond that joins fats together

Back
