1.11 Proteins
Protein Facts Monomer = Elements =
Amino Acids Types = Bonds called:
Polypeptide = Polypeptide chains do what that is important?
Structure Primary: The others:
Protein function Determined by: Uses to life: Enzymes, antibodies, pigments, signals, structure, energy I guess…so almost everything
Examples and Diet Diet: Essential amino acids Lipase Antibodies Hemoglobin Keratin Collagen
1.12 Lipids
Why are Lipids Special to Life? Non-polar = Hate water Efficient energy storage (__ cal/g) Insulation Communication
What are the Types of Lipids? Fats Oils Waxes Steroids
Saturated vs Unsaturated Fatty Acids Sat Unsat Why does it matter?
Examples Triglycerides Phospholipids Cholesterol
Specific Sat and Unsat fatty acids Good lipids Essential fatty acids Omega 3 Omega 6 Questionable lipids Cholesterol Trans fatty acids Specific Sat and Unsat fatty acids
1.13 Nucleic Acids
Nucleic Acid Basics Monomer = Polymer = Examples = Elements =
Nucleic Acid Basics Monomer = Nucleotide Polymer = Polynucleotide Examples = DNA/RNA Elements = CHONP
Nucleotide 3 parts:
DNA Double Helix
DNA vs. RNA 2 strands 1 strand Thymine Uracil Deoxyribose sugar Ribose sugar
Function DNA: protein blueprints/code RNA: assembles proteins
