Document Summary

Cell biology lecture 2: organic molecules are called biochemicals, biochemistry centers around carbon, can form 4 bonds. Ionized atoms: an atom that is so en that it captures electrons from another atom, negative ions = anions, positive ions = cations, non-covalent bonds, an intramolecular force, these are weaker bonds i. Atoms/molecules with positive and negative charges that attract each other. This type of bond holds nitrogenous basses together iii. They don"t mix with polars, but join with non-polars to minimize exposure to polar surroundings. Hydrogen can be replaced by functional groups. Make organic molecules more polar and more reactive. There are 4 types i. ii. iii. iv. Formed through hydrolysis (water added) or condensation (water removed) reactions. Structural function (exoskeleton of insects, plant cell walls) Attaches to plasma membrane on cell surface: glycocalyx. Most imporart ones in metabolism have 3-7 carbons. Disaccharide- 2 monosacharides covalently bonded (sucrose (glucose+fructose: for energy stores.
