- 5 categories of reactions
- Functional group transferElectron TransferRearrangementCondensationCleavage
- Cholesterol
- Component of animal cell membranesPrecursor to many steroids and of vitamin D
- Cleavage
- A molecule splits into two smaller ones.
- Condensation
- Through covalent bonding, two molecules combine to form a larger molecule.
- Each carbon atom can share pairs of electrons with as many as ___ atoms.
- ...As many as four atoms.
- Electron transfer
- One or more electrons stripped from one molecule and donated to another molecule.
- Enzymes
- A class of protein that makes specific metabolic reactions proceed faster than they would on their own.
- Functional Group
- Various kinds of atoms or clusters of atoms covalently bonded to the backbone.
- Functional-group transfer
- One molecule gives up a functional group, while another molecule accepts.
- Organic Compounds
- Molecules of life, which have hydrogen and often other elements covalently bonded to carbon atoms
- Rearrangement
- A juggling of internal bonds converts one type of organic compound into another.
- Sterols
- four carbon rings; the number, position, and type of functional groups differ between various sterols
- Structure of fibrous proteins
- individual polypeptide chains, often linked into tough, water-insoluble moleucles
- Structure of globular proteins
- one or more polypeptide chains folded and linked into globular shapesHave many roles in cell activities
- Use of Fats and oils
- Energy storage
- Use of Glucose
- Energy source
- Use of Sucrose
- Form of sugar transported in plants
- Uses of starc, cellulose, and glycogen
