Document Summary

How much does ph change between each whole number on the ph scale? ph 0-6 are acidic ph 8-14 are basic. Measures the concentration of positive ions in a solution: name the 4 macromolecules and name the functions we discussed of each. Proteins: help build muscle, allow for muscle contraction, communication b/t cells, defend antibodies, cell division. Nucleic acids: building blocks of dna and rna: what are the subunits of the following: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids (3 parts) and fats (2 parts) Nucleic acids: nucleotide (phosphate group, 5-carbon sugar, nitrogenous base) Lipids: fatty acids and glycerol: name the three classes of carbohydrates and be able to recognize their structure. Saturated: straight tails, tightly packed, solid at room temperature, likely to clog arteries. 3 tails: describe the primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure of proteins. Primary - all lined up straight, long line. Secondary - local/individual folds (beta sheet, alpha helix, random coil)
