Document Summary

Polar molecule, allows for it to form hydrogen bonds. Allows for interactions between organic molecules within cells, ie--nucleic acids, carbohydrates, ect. Formation of glycosidic bond as a dehydration reaction allows for two monosaccharides to form a disaccharide. Chain of glucose molecules known as polysaccharides. Important membrane component, energy storage as fats, and are used as signaling molecules. Three fatty acids bonded to a glycerol is a triacylglycerol. Phospholipids contain 2 fatty acid chains bonded to glycerol. Remaining carbon allows for bond interaction with other organic molecules, resulting in different phospholipids. Amphipathic - contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic sections. Glycolipids - carbohydrate bonded to a lipid. Cholesterol - amphiphilic molecule important in giving membrane its structure and rigidity. Phosphodiester bonds - 5" to 3" bond that joins successive sugar molecules together. Dehydration reaction allows for the formation of peptide bonds between the carboxyl group and the amino group. Secondary structures - alpha helix and beta sheets formed by hydrogen bonding between.
