ioChem C785 unit 2 Questions with all the correct answers
Hydrogen bond Correct Answer- Weak bond interaction Between two molecules
Amino group Correct Answer- Consists of hydrogen and nitrogen atoms (-NH3+)
Macromolecules Correct Answer- A giant molecule in a living organism formed by the joining of smaller molecules: a protein, carbohydrate, or nucleic acid.
polymer Correct Answer- a long molecule consisting of many similar or identical building blocks linked by covalent bonds
Amino acid Correct Answer- Amino group + Carboxylic acid + R group = Amino acid
carboxyl group Correct Answer- A -COOH group, found in organic acids. Coo-, O=C-O-
Four classes of biological macromolecules Correct Answer- Proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids
SPONCH Correct Answer- Sulfur phosphorous oxygen nitrogen carbon hydrogen
polymer Correct Answer- a long molecule consisting of many similar or identical monomers linked together by covalent bonds.
R group Correct Answer- a functional group that defines a particular amino acid that makes it a specific protein (20 amino acids) aka side chain
Catalyst Correct Answer- Speed up chemical reactions but remain unchanged by the reaction.
Monomers Correct Answer- repeating units that serve as the building blocks of a polymer
enzymes Correct Answer- specialized macromolecules that speed up chemical reactions in cells
alpha carbon Correct Answer- the central carbon atom of each amino acid
Atomic number Correct Answer- number of protons
atomic mass Correct Answer- number of protons plus number of neutrons
dehydration synthesis Correct Answer- a chemical reaction in which two molecules become covalently bonded to each other with the removal of a water molecule.
amino acid backbone Correct Answer- The structure comprised of the amino group, carboxyl group with a central alpha carbon atom.
dehydration reaction Correct Answer- A chemical reaction in which two molecules covalently bond to each other with the removal of a water molecule.
Ionic bond Correct Answer- formed when two oppositely charged ions attract
Hydrophobic Correct Answer- non polar, afraid of water
Disulfide bond Correct Answer- double (di) bond between two Sulfur (sulfide) atoms in cysteine side chains. They stabilize tertiary and quaternary structures of a protein.
carbohydrates Correct Answer- Organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of one carbon atom to two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom. They exist as monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
protein Correct Answer- a macromolecule consisting of one or more polypeptides chains made up amino acids folded and coiled into a specific three-dimensional structure.
polar Correct Answer- Amino acid Molecule with partial charges. Mixes with water.
covalent bond
Correct Answer- formed when the difference in electronegativity between A atoms is equal they then share electrons
Polar covalent bond Correct Answer- when electrons are unequally shared between Atoms because they have different electronegativities
Functions of proteins Correct Answer- structural support, catalyst, transport, defense, movement, regulation
charged Correct Answer- Amino acid has a positive or negative charge
hydrophobic effect Correct Answer- (Water Fearing). Tendency of nonpolar (non charged) substances to aggregate (clump together) in water and exclude the water molecules.
amino acid Correct Answer- an organic molecule possessing both a carboxyl and an amino group. The monomers of polypeptides. There are 20 different forms. Distinguished by side chains.
hydrophobic interactions Correct Answer- Interaction between nonpolar molecules in water.
Polypeptide Correct Answer- A single protein chain formed by amino acids bonded together
peptide bond Correct Answer- the linkage between amino acids forming a covalent bond between the carboxyl group on one amino acid and the amino group on another, formed by a dehydration reaction.
denaturation Correct Answer- loss of a proteins normal 3D structure; can possibly be caused by pH and temperature changes which affect the ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds & hydrophilic interactions
Hydrolysis Correct Answer- Peptide bonds can be broken by this...A chemical process that splits a molecule by adding water. ( this happened frequently in the stomach when proteins begin to bee digested into their amino acids)
enzyme Correct Answer- a macromolecule serving as a catalyst, a chemical agent that increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed by the reaction. most of them are proteins.
Primary Structure Correct Answer- Sequence of amino acids forming a protein or polypeptide chain, the most basic element of its structure.
What are the functions of carbohydrates Correct Answer- function as energy source & structure support; examples: simple sugars, and complex polysacchrides, structural suppport examples: cell wall in pant cells, chitin in insects.
cellulose Correct Answer- a structural polysaccharide of plant cell walls, consisting of glucose monomers joined by β glycosidic linkages.
Quaternary structure Correct Answer- Spatial arrangement of two or more individual polypeptide chains.
primary structure Correct Answer- sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide aka amino acid chain
