Proteins Very Complex Molecules
Amino Acids There are 20 amino acids. Humans can make 11 out of 20 in our cells
Essential Amino Acids We need to get these from our diet
Hydrophilic Amino acids with Polar or Ionic Functional Groups. Water "loving"
Intermolecular Forces of Attractions
Hydrophobic Amino Acids with non-polar functional groups. "fears" water
R-Group Represents 1 of the 20 different side chains
Primary Structure The linear structure of amino acids.
Secondary Structure Small folded shapes within a protein
Tertiary Structure The overall 3-D shape of the protein
Quaternary Structure The combination of more than one protein with tertiary structures
Hydrogen Bonding between the peptide bonds in the backbone
Intermolecular Forces Different IMF's between side chains of amino acids
Enzymes Build and Break down Molecules They are critical for growth, digestion, and many other processes.
Structural Strengthen cells, tissues, organs
Signalling Allow cells to communicate each other. Signals, receptors, and relay proteins work together to get information from outside to the inside of the cell
Regulatory Bind DNA to turn genes on and off
Transport Move molecules and nutrients around the body and in and out of cells
SensoryHelps us learn about our environment. They help us detect light, sound, touch, smell, taste, pain and heat.
Motor Keep cells moving and changing shape. They also transport components around inside cells.
Defense Helps organisms fight infection, heal damaged tissue and evade predators
Storage Stores nutrients and energy rich nutrients for later use
Lactase helps infants digest lactose
Tublin Forms hollow tubes that support cell structure
InsulinReleased into the blood stream after a meal. It activates the insulin receptor, which signals muscle and fat cells to store blood sugar
Hormones Androgen and Estrogen Control genes that trigger the onset of puberty
Hemoglobin In red blood cells pick up oxygen from the lungs and delivers it to all tissues in the body
Opsins In the eye detect light. They convert light into electrical and chemical signals that can be interpreted by the brain
Muscle Cells To contact muscle cells, millions of tiny myosin simultaneously slide chains of actin proteins
Antibodies Battle bacteria and viruses that makes us sick
Gluten Is a storage protein in the seeds of wheat, barely, and rye. This food gives the seeding a fast start.
Neurons A specialized cell in the nervous system that can send and receive electrical signals.
Neurotransmitters A chemical substance produced by nerve cells that stimulate or inhabit other nerve cells.
Receptors A chemical substance produced by cells that binds to another biological molecule
Lipids A non-polar compound that is made mostly of Carbon and Hydrogen
Amphipathic A molecule with both polar and non-polar functional groups
Fatty Acids A molecule that consists of a single hydrocarbon chain with a functional carboxyl group
Fats Is a Lipid that is made up of fatty acids and glycerol
Saturated Fatty Acids Has only single bonds between the Carbons
Triglyceride 3 fatty acid chains linked to a glycerol molecule
Unsaturated Fatty Acids Has Double bonds between the Carbons
Saturated Fats Example: Butter and Lard
Unsaturated Fats Example: Olive Oil
Liquid They have shorter fatty acid chains
Fatty Acid Tail Faces inward away from water
Solid Have longer and straight fatty acid chains that can fold together
Phospholipids A lipid that consists of 2 fatty acids and a phosphate group bound to a glycerol
Phospholipid Head Faces Outward toward water
Steriods A lipid that is composed of 4 Carbon rings
Function Hormonal Signalling, cell response to the environment and growth
Waxes A lipid that is formed when long fatty acid chains bind to alcohols or carbon rings
Function Water resistance and protection
Properties Hydrophobic, extremely non-polar, and soft solids over a large range of temperatures
Function:Cellular function and energy storage Example:Stearic Acid
Nucleic Acids Serve as assembly instructions for all proteins in living organisms
Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes and in many viruses
Stores the hereditary information
Purines Two-ringed organic structures There are 2 bases
Pyrimidines Single Organic Rings There are 3 bases
Nucleotides Consists of a 5 Carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base and 1-3 phosphate groups
Double Stranded Molecules
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Internal signalling in cells
Messenger RNA is the copy of instructions from DNA
Ribosomal RNA part of the ribosome and important for the reading the bond in mRNA in order to combine the correct amino acids to make a protein
Transfer RNA moves amino acids to the ribosome and binds to the mRNA, tRNA
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+)
Flaxin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)
Intermolecular Forces of attraction (IMF)
Monosaccharides Consists of 1 sugar Molecule They are Building block
Combination Their Ratio is 1C:2H:1C
Isomer a molecule withe the same formula but have a different arrangement of atoms
Disaccharide Made from 2 monosacharides
SucroseGlucose and fructose
Maltose 2 glucose molecules
Sugars Which mean they have polar functional groups attached to them
Lactose galactose and glucose
Hydrophilic Which means they are highly soluble in water
Hydrophilic and water soluble
Oligosaccharide Made from 20 or less monosaccharides
PolysaccharidesMany monosaccharides linked together
Monomers a small molecule that can bind chemically to other molecules
Polymer a large molecule made from monomers linked together
Energy Source Building Blocks
Energy Storage Structural Support Cell-to-cell communication
Energy Storage in animals
Homopolysaccharides contain only a single type of monosaccharide
Heteropolysaccharidescontain 2 or more monosaccharides
