  1. Nucleic Acid
  2. Lipids
  3. Carbohydrates What is the monomer of Protein + what is its bond? - ✔✔Monomer: Amino Acid Bond: Peptide bond What is the directionality of protein + the reason for it? - ✔✔The amino group (of one amino acid) attaches to the carboxyl group of another amino acid = "N" terminus (is how it starts) to "C" terminus (how it always finishes)

Structure of a Lipid? - ✔✔ What is the difference between a Saturated and a Unsaturated Fat? - ✔✔Saturated: Will be saturated in C atoms (it has double bonds) = this fat is good Unsaturated: It is not saturated in C atoms (no double bonds) = this fat is bad Arrange O,N,C,S,P,H from most - least electronegative. - ✔✔1. O

  1. N
  2. C + S
  3. P + H What does it mean when an atom is nonpolar? - ✔✔The two atoms share electrons equally = there electronegativity is less than 0. What does it mean when an atom is polar? - ✔✔The electrons forming the bond are unequally shared between atoms = one end will have a - 'ive charge and one end will have a +'ive charge, the elctronegativity is greater than 0. What does amphipathic mean? - ✔✔having both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions When two nonpolar molecules react what kind of dipoles are formed? - ✔✔ID-ID When two polar molecules react what kind of dipoles are formed? - ✔✔PD-PD Hydrogen bonds are the same as what kind of dipoles? - ✔✔PD-PD What 3 molecules indicate polar bonds? - ✔✔S,O,N List the dipoles from strongest to weakest. - ✔✔1. Ionic
  1. Ion - PD
  2. PD-PD/Hydrogen bonds
  3. PD-ID
  4. ID-ID What kind of structures will form when lipids are mixed with water? (3 options) - ✔✔1. Micelles = lipids with bulky heads + a single fatty acid tails = they are wedge shaped 2.Bilayer = less bulky heads + two hydrophobic tails (kind looks like a sandwich with the tails in the middle)
  5. Liposomes = structure that surround a central space (donuts). They are usually formed in a lab and form when the pH of water is similar to that of a cell How does Thermodynamics + the spontaneous formation of the lipid bilayer work? - ✔✔The lipid bilayer will formed as long as the concentration of free phospholipids is high enough + the pH of the solution is similar to that of a cell = This is driven by thermodynamics, towards a stabilizing system What is entropy + enthalpy? - ✔✔Entropy: Measure of disorder/randomness of a system Enthalpy: Sum of the internal energy of a system + the product of the pressure and volume of the system How does the structure of phospholipids dictate the structure of the lipid bilayer? - ✔✔They have a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail. Their heads face the water where as their tails face inwards away from the water (creating a sandwich) Explain membrane fluidity. - ✔✔refers to the viscosity of the lipid bilayer of a cell membrane or a synthetic lipid membrane. Lipid packing can influence the fluidity of the membrane.

What is the difference between diffusion and osmosis? - ✔✔Diffusion: Spontaneous movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an are of low concentration Osmosis: Spontaneous movement of water across a semipermeable membrane (water moves from an area of low concentration of solute to high concentration of solute) What are some strategies to deal with osmotic pressure? - ✔✔Plants: Contract Vacuole = take up excess water from inside the cell and expel it into the environment Eukaryotic: Cholesterol = stabilizes the membrane making it less permeable to water Explain Simple diffusion. - ✔✔- Passive transport

  • Random movement of molecules
  • Substances move from higher concentration to lower concentration Explain facilitated diffusion. - ✔✔- Move by diffusion through membrane proteins and by passes the lipid bilayer
  • Random movement of molecules
  • Needs a concentration difference Explain Active transport. - ✔✔- Move molecules from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration (against the concentration gradient)
  • Uses energy (ATP) since its moving "uphill" What is an induce dipole? - ✔✔ID are fleeting and only occur in non-polar molecules due to random unequal distribution of electrons (which is why hydrophobic molecules participate in ID-ID interactions) What are permanent dipoles? - ✔✔Polar molecules for PD, it is when there is a large difference in electronegativity. As one end with be slightly +'ive and the other slightly - 'ive.

What kind of bond are hydrogen bonds the same as? - ✔✔PD-PD Why does increasing the length of a fatty acid chain increase its melting point? - ✔✔There is more intermolecular interaction and it takes more energy to break the vanderwaal interactions. List the bonds from strongest to weakest - ✔✔1. Covalent

  1. Ionic
  2. Ion - PD
  3. PD - PD/hydrogen bonds
  4. PD - ID
  5. ID - ID Molecule that has a molecular group with a polar bond is overall considered? - ✔✔Hydrophilic (polar bonds are hydrophilic because water is polar) When two atoms are involved in a polar covalent bond, what is the charge on each? - ✔✔One has a permanent partial +'ive and the other a permanent partial - 'ive When two atoms are involved in a nonpolar covalent bond what is the charge on each atom? - ✔✔Both atoms fluctuate between partial +'ive and - 'ive charge Name the different ways that the cell can adapt to deal with osmotic pressure. - ✔✔- Stay small
  • Change shape (increase SA to Volume ratio)
  • Compartmentalize
  • Get things moving (cytoplasmic streaming) Cell size adaptation - Dilution - ✔✔- Compartmentalization in eukaryotic cells (membrane enclosed regions for specific functions) Cell size adaptation - Surface area to Volume ratio - ✔✔- Folding to increase surface area
  1. Ions If Ions are small why can they not diffuse easily through the lipid bilayer? - ✔✔They are charged and they have a hydration shell the surrounds Ions making them bigger + bulkier Which one of the following amino acids is capable of forming a disulfide linkage with itself? tyrosine cysteine arginine methionine isoleucine - ✔✔Cysteine What is the directionality of nucleic acids? - ✔✔5' to 3' What is the directionality of proteins? - ✔✔N-terminus to C-terminus What is the directionality of carbohydrates? - ✔✔4' to 1' What are the various roles of proteins in cellular activities? - ✔✔Structural support, enzymatic activity, transportation, communication with the outside world. What are the R groups of amino acids that are hydrophobic? - ✔✔- Alanine
  • Valine
  • Leucine
  • Isoleucine
  • Methionine
  • Phenyalanine
  • Trytophan
  • Tyrosine What are the R groups of amino acids that are hydrophilic? - ✔✔- Asparagine
  • Glutamine
  • Serine
  • Threonine
  • Lysine
  • Arginine
  • Histidine
  • Aspartic Acid Glutamic acid What are the traits of the primary protein structure? - ✔✔The unique order in which the amino acids are linked together to form a protein (a "straight" line) What are the traits of the secondary protein structure? - ✔✔The chains coils or folds, either an alpha helix or a beta pleated sheet What are the traits of the tertiary protein structure? - ✔✔The comprehensive 3-D shape, which is determined by the interactions between the amino acid and the R group (also different bonds effect it like ionic, hydrogen and van der Waal forces) Predict the locations of different types of amino acids within a protein's folded structure based on their R-group features - ✔✔The amino acids whose R-groups from bonds with each other may be far apart in the polypepetide chain, but can end up near eachother in the folded protien. What is denaturation and what effect does it have on the protein structure? - ✔✔Is a process that causes a protein to lose its shape (often caused by heat, chemical treatment and heavy metals). It disrupts the bonds holding the tertiary structure together and they lose their functional activity.
