1
Q

Types of Inorganic molecules

A

Water, Salts, Acids and Bases

2
Q

Types of Organic molecules

A

Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins and Nucleic Acids

3
Q

Carbohydrates

A

made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
structural unit - monsaccharides in 1:2:1 ratio
provide the body with a ready easily used source of cellular fuel

4
Q

Carbohydrates sub group

A

Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Polysaccharides

5
Q

Lipds

A

made up of carbon hydrogen and oxygen
no structural unit
protects and insulates the bodies organs and is the major source of stored energy in the body and a cell membrane component

6
Q

Lipids sub group

A

Triglycerides, Phospholipids, Steroids, Eicosanoids

7
Q

Proteins

A

made up of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen and sometimes sulfur
structural unit - Amino Acid
composes 10-30% of cell mass and is the basic structural material of the body

8
Q

Nucleic Acid

A

made up of Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Hydrogen and Phosphorous
Structural Unit - Nucleotide
Provides direction to build every protein in the body

9
Q

Protein structure levels

A

Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and Quaternary

10
Q

Primary Protein Structure

A

refers to identity and arrangement of amino acids

11
Q

Secondary Protein Structure

A

refers to geometric arrangement

12
Q

Tertiary Protein Structure

A

bends and folds from interaction among the R groups

13
Q

Quaternary Protein Structure

A

two or more protein chains

14
Q

Saturated Fats

A

no double bonded carbons

15
Q

Unsaturated Fats

A

one or more double bonded carbons

16
Q

Enzymes

A

They speed reactions up by lowering activation energy, can increase speed a million fold.
Can’t force or a reaction or change a reaction
Is NOT used up in a reaction – just speeds them up.
