Adding a water molecule


Hydrolysis Reaction

Removing a molecule


Dehydration Synthesis

An ionic compound that dissociaties in water

Salt
Conduct electrical currents in water


Electrolytes

a substance that releases hydrogen ions


Acid

A hydrogen nucleus or naked proton


Hydrogen Ion

They release hydrogen in solutions


Proton Donors

They take up hydrogen ions in decetable amounts

Bases or Proton Acceptors
An ion liberated in a hydroxide is dissolves in water

Hydroxyl Ion
A displacement reaction when you mix acids and bases to form water and salt


Neutralization Reaction

Mixture of compounds that resisit ph change

Buffer
A compund that Lacks carbon

Inorganic Compound
Chainlike molecules made of many similar or repeating units

Polymer
Small bldg blocks

Monomors
Simple surgar (glucose, galactose,fructose)


Monosaccharides

Has a six carbon atom

Glucose
Has a six carbon sugar


Hexose

Have the same molecular formula but there atoms are arranged differently, which gives different chemical properties


Isomers

Double sugar-formed when two monosaccharides are joined by dehydration synthesis


Disaccharide

Polymers of simple sugars linked together by dehydration synthesis


Polysaccharides

The storage of carbohydrates formed by plants


Starch

The storage of carbohydrate of animal tissues, stored primarily in skeletal uscle and liver cells


Glycogen

It provides a ready, easily used source of cellular fuel.


Carbohydrate Function

Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, triglycerides, phospholipids and steroids


Elements of Lipids

Fatty acids & glycerol


Molecules used to build fats
(triglycerides)


Fatty acid chains with only single covalent bonds


Saturated

Fatty acid chains that contain one or more double bonds


Unsaturated

Extended and strandlike, are the chief bldg materials of the body


Fibrous Proteins

Compact, spherical proteins that has tertiary structure.


Globular Proteins

Help proteins to achieve their functional three-dimensional structure


Molecular Chaperones

Globular proteins that acts biological catalysts


Enzymes

A functional enzyme that consists of two parts

Holoenzyme
The substance on which an enzyme acts


Substrate

Chemical reaction that requires a certain amount of energy


Activation energy
