Document Summary

Biomolecules= organic molecules associated with living organisms (4 major groups) o. For each carbon, there are two hydrogens and one oxygen. Ribose (5-carbon sugars) (pentoses) forms the sugar phosphate backbone of rna o. Deoxyribose (5-carbon sugars) (pentoses) forms the sugar-phosphate backbone of dna o o o. Disaccharides: consist of glucose and another monosaccharide o. Polysaccharides: glucose polymers; all living cells store glucose for energy in the form of polysaccharide o o o o o. Humans cannot digest cellulose and obtain its energy even though it"s the most abundant polysaccharide on earth. Have a backbone of glycerol and 1-3 fatty acids. Fatty acids: long chains of carbon atoms bound to hydrogens with a carboxyl group at one end. Saturated- have no double bonds between carbons; saturated with hydrogens. The more saturated a fatty acid is, the more likely it is to be solid at room temp. For each double bond, the molecule has fewer hydrogens attached.

Ionic bonds are formed when two opposite charged ions (formed when atoms lose or gain electrons) encounter each other. These bonds can be viewed as âextreme polar covalent bondsâ as one atom is in total control of the otherâs electron(s). Why are ionic bonds so much weaker when they are in water?

A.	Ionic compounds such as salts are hydrophilic, so they prefer to form bonds with water molecules over other compounds.

B.	Water molecules readily form covalent bonds to charged particles and, as these bonds are stronger than ionic bonds, the ionic bonds are pulled apart.

C.	Water molecules shorten the size of covalent bonds and this weakens ionic interactions.

D.	Water molecules readily donate electrons and nullify the positively charged ions.

E.	Polar water molecules can physically interfere with the polar (positive/ negative) charged attraction between ions and thus the ionic bonds are disrupted and weakened.

About the same length as a covalent O----H bond.

Shorter than a covalent O---H bond.

Longer than a covalent O---H bond, but shorter than the calculated van der Waals distance between water molecules.

Which of the following statements about water is not true?

Water will hydrogen bond into highly ordered structures or "cages" around non-polar molecules.

The electron-rich oxygen atom of one water molecule can interact with an electron-poor hydrogen on another water molecule to form a hydrogen bond.

Water is a key player in the energetics of the hydrophobic effect.

Which of the following is the strongest?

Ionic interactions

Permanent dipole - permanent dipole interactions

London dispersion forces

Co-linear hydrogen bonds

Which of the following is the best explanation for the hydrophobic effect?

It is caused by the attraction of hydrophobic groups for each other.

It is an entropic effect caused by the tendency of hydrophobic groups to increase their entropy by associating with other hydrophobic groups.

It is an entropic effect, caused by the tendency of water molecules to increase their entropy by excluding hydrophobic groups, which they must otherwise surround with highly ordered structures.

It is caused by the attraction of water for hydrophobic groups.

It is an entropic effect, caused by the tendency of water molecules to increase their entropy by forming highly ordered structures around the hydrophobic groups.
