essential proteinsbody cannot build
non essential proteinsbody can build
peptide bondsamino acids that are bonded covalently
DNAinstruction book for you
RNAribosome aids in the production of proteins
monomer fatty acids & glycerol=lipids- polymer
has high heat capacitywater
cannot react unless in a solutionmolecules
easily dissolves body fluidssalt
an electrolyte w/ chrged ionssalt
acidshave sour taste& dissolves metals
acidsubstance that releases hydrogen ions
acidproton donor
when an aicid is dissolved in water releases thishydrogen ions
strong acidsacids that ionize completely
weak acidacids that do not ionize completely
basesbitter tatse & slippery
basesproton acceptors
hydroxides arecommon inorganic bases
hydroxyl ionsproton seeker & strong base
nutralization reactionwhen an acid and base interact
pHconcentration of hydrogen & hydroxl ions
what pH is based onno. of protons in a solution
pH7 midpointhydrogen ions = hydroxl ions
pH level lower than 7acidic hydrogen ions more than hydroxl ions
pH higher than 7alkaline or vase
organic moleculesvery large molecules
polymersseries of many monomers bonded together
carbohydratesinclude sugar and starches
glucoseblood sugar
glucosemonosaccharide
glucoseuniversal cell fuel
important polysaccharidestarch-formed by plants
important polysaccharideglycogen- found in animal tissue
lipidscontain carbon and hydrogen but outnumber oxygen
lipidsorganic & enter body as fat marbled meat
triglyceridesnuetral fats
triglyceridescomposed of fatty acids and glcerol
saturated triglyceridessolid at room temp.
unsaturated triglyceridesliquid at room temp
transfatoils that are solid by added hydrogen
phospholidsbuild cellular membranes
steriodscontrol & regulate hormones/ chlesterol
