BSC 1005 Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Dehydration Reaction, Covalent Bond, Nitrogenous Base
Document Summary
Organic compounds: one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements. Hydrolysis: a reaction involving the breaking of a bond in a molecule using water: sucrose + water glucose + fructose. Dehydration synthesis: the process of joining two molecules together following the removal of water: galactose + glucose lactose + water. Lipids (saturated vs. unsaturated; phospholipids, steroids: saturated fatty acid: when there are only single bonds between neighboring carbons in the chain. Solid at room temperature: unsaturated fatty acid: hydrocarbon chain contains a double bond. Proteins are all polymers of amino acids, arranged in a linear sequence of a polypeptide chain. Amino acids: amino group(left), r-group (middle), carboxyl group (right) Peptide bond: when an amino acid is attached to another amino acid by a covalent bond; formed by a dehydration reaction; polypeptide. Unique sequence and # of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. Folding patterns resulting from interactions between non r-group portions.
