Chemical Bonds

The document covers several key topics related to biological molecules and their properties. It discusses how polar bonds form through the sharing of electrons between atoms with significant electronegativity differences.

Chemical Bonds

Functional groups

Methyl Group (-CH3)

Phosphate Group (-OPO3^2-)

Sulfhydryl Group (-SH)

Amino Group (-NH2)

Carboxyl Group (-COOH)

Hydroxyl Group (-OH)

Carbonyl group (>C=O)

Biological Molecules

Protiens

Protein folding
Quarternary
Tertiary
Secodary

Beta pleated sheets

Alpha Helices

Primary
R groups

Basic

Acidic

Non-polar

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates serve as fuel and building materials

Alpha Glucose
Beta Glucose
Types of polysaccharides
storage

starch

glycogen

structure

cellulose

Isomers
Structural Isomers
Enantiomers
Geometric Isomers

Lipids

NOTE: LIPIDS ARE NOT POLYMERS!


Trans fats
removing double C bond and adding Hydrogen to convert cis to trans fat, however this incomplete formation of unsaturated to saturated fat is what leads to trans fat.
Unsaturated
Double bonded carbon
Liquid at room temperature
Hydrophobic
Saturated
"saturated with Hydrogen"
solid at room temperature

Nucleic acids

Nucleotides

Nucleic acids are polymers made of monomers-- called nucleotides

5 carbon sugar
phosphate group

Phosphodiester link connects phosphites and sugars

Nitrogenous base
DNA
G/C and A/T

H-bonding through complitary base pairing forms DNA double helix

RNA

Unlike DNA, RNA has oxygen

G/C and A/U

Partially Charged Atoms

Dipole-dipole Interaction

Hydrogen Bond

Water Properties
Universal Solvent
Denser as liquid than solid
High Heat of Vaporization
High Specific Heat
Cohesive behavior

Polar

Sharing of electrons between two atoms with an EN difference of 0.5 or greater

Examples in Biological Molecules

Ester bond
Glycosylic linkage
Phosphodiester bond
Peptide bond

Nonpolar

Sharing of electrons between two atoms with an EN difference of less than 0.5

Hydrophobic Interactions

Van Der Waals

Structure and Function of Cells

Eukaryotic Cells

Both
Vesicles

Vehicle of the cell,  the golgi apparatus packages things into vesicles where vesicles can then transport cellular materials.



Smooth ER

attached to nucleus synthesizes lipids (can also help detoxify) 



Rough ER

composed of ribosomes that perform protein synthesis



Cytoskeleton

reinforces cell shape; functions in cell movement; components are made of protein, includes…

Microtubules

made of tubulin, this hollow shape maintains the shape of the cell. very structural and moves organelles 



Intermediate filament

in the middle, anchor organelles to the cell and help maintain a cell’s shape, composed of keratin proteins.



Microfilaments

made of actin, helps maintain cell shape but also aid with movement 



Microvilli

projections that increase the cells surface area 



Peroxisome

organelle with various specialized metabolic functions; produces hydrogen peroxide as a by product and then converts it to water  



Mitochondria

 organelle where cellular respiration occurs and most ATP is generated 



Lysosomes

digestive organelle where biomolecules are broken down, hydrolysis reaction 



Golgi apparatus

organelle active in synthesis, modification, sorting, and secretion/transportation of cell products



complexes that make proteins; free in cytosol or bound to rough ER or nuclear envelope 



Plasma membrane

 membrane enclosing the cell



Chromatin

 material consisting of DNA and protein; visible in a dividing cell as individual condensed chromosomes 



Nucleolus

non membranous structure involved in production of ribosomes; a nucleus has one or more nucleoli 



Nuclear Envelope

double membrane enclosing the nucleus; performed by pores; continuous with ER, also known as the nuclear lamina 



Plants
Plastids

 store food and make pigment 



Plasmodesmata

channels  found in plant cells that allow for the movement of water and other materials to move between cells



Central Vacuole

stores water, nutrients, and waste  



Chloroplast

double membrane organelle that has its own DNA and performs photosynthesis



 located outside the cell membrane, made of cellulose, and helps maintain cell shape



Animal
Gap junctions

structures that connect cells, things can pass through very easily



Tight junctions

secure cells very tightly, keeps stuff from freely moving around 



Desmosomes

 structure connects cells together that are semi-sealed. Desmosomes use proteins and are programed to selectively allow materials

Extracellular matrix

located outside the membrane, this  structure has many parts: fibronectin, proteoglycan (animal cell ECM), and collagen. Changes in this structure can trigger processes inside the cell



proteoglycan

found in the ECM, proteoglycan are  proteins with sugars attached, involved in organizing extracellular matrix

Prokaryotic Cells

Bacteria
Endospore

survival under harsh environmental conditions  



Flagella

movement

Pili

bacterial mating 



Fimbriae

 attachment to surfaces



- slime layers

adherence to surfaces 



Capsules

resistance to phagocytosis



Cell wall

Gives bacteria shape and protection from lysis in dilute solutions

Periplasmic Space

contains hydrolytic enzymes and binding proteins to nutrient processing and uptake



Nucleoid

localization of genetic material (DNA)

Inclusion bodies

storage of carbon, phosphate, and other substances 



Ribosomes

protein synthesis

Gas Vacuole

buoyancy for floating in aquatic environments

Plama Membrane

selectively permeable barrier, mechanical boundary of cell, nutrient and waste transport, location of many metabolic processes (respiration and photosynthesis), detection of environmental cues for chemotaxis

Archaea
Cytoplasm

gel like substance that fills the cell and and keeps the organelles in place


Circular chromosome

stores genetic information 



Chemical Bonds

Covalent Bond

Two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons to achieve stability.

Ionic Bond

Transfer of electrons between oppositely charged irons

Can lead to ion-dipole interactions in water
