  • carbohydrates - CHO
  • lipids - cho
  • protein - chong
  • nucleic acids - sponch
  • s - sulfur
  • p - phosphorus
  • o - oxygen
  • n - nitrogen
  • c - carbon
  • h - hydrogen
  • DNA - A-T G-C
  • RNA - A-U G-C
  • What happens when an amino acid is deleted?
    Protein shape is changed
  • Saturated fatty acids have a single carbon-carbon double bond
  • Unsaturated fatty acids have a carbon double bond called a "kink"
  • dehydration synthesis - process of bonding with H2O as a by-product
  • hydrolysis - process of breaking with H2O added
  • R-group - determines shape and function
  • what molecule carries genetic code?
    nucleic acids
  • structure of carbohydrates?
    ring structure
  • phospholipids - form bilayer to surround cells with nonpolar tails and polar heads
  • ion - charged particles
  • ionic bond - compounds held together by positive and negatively charged ions
  • covalent bond - a chemical bond formed between two non-metal atoms by the sharing of electrons
  • non-polar - equal sharing
  • polar - non-equally shared
  • hydrogen bond - slightly positive connecting to a slightly negative atom
  • hydrogen bonds are the weakest bonds and easily break
  • calorie - amount of heat energy needed to raise temperatures
  • solution - product
  • solute - product being dissolved
  • cohesion - water to water
  • adhesion - water to other surfaces
  • surface tension - created by cohesion and adhesion letting stuff stand on water
  • 7.4 pH scale - normal
  • below 7 pH scale - acidic
  • above 7.8 pH scale - basic
  • buffers - help- pH stay normal
  • endosymbiotic theory - bacteria and archaea evolved into eukaryotic cells
  • advantage of eukaryotes - compartmentalization
