CAMP

Protein Kinase A

Electric voltage difference

H+ pump, Na/K pump both make the outside more positive and inside more negative

Nucleic Acid

Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)

carries information from DNA to be translated into protein

involved in transferring amino acids during protein synthesis

major part of ribosomes involved in protein synthesis

Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)

made of nitrogenous base, deoxyribose, phosphate group, double stranded with a consistent double helix structure (A:T and G:C)

Protein

Made form amino acids, all amino acids contain an amino group and a carboxylic group combined with different side chains.

protein containing many amino acids connected by peptide bonds

Amino acid sequence of a protein. Stabilized by peptide bonds.

The amino acid chain of a protein is folded into arrangements (alpha and beta)

Three-dimensional structure of a protein

Interaction of two or more polypeptides or subunits of multimeric proteins

Carbohydrates

Monosaccharides-
made by photosynthesis

smallest carbohydrates, contains three to seven carbon atoms

Disaccharides-
made up of 2 monosaccharides

Formed by enzymes that combine two monosaccharides through glycosidic linkages. maltose, lactose, sucrose, etc.

Polysaccharides-
more than 10 linked monosaccharide monomers

Storage Polysaccharides

beta-1,4-linked glucose molecules.They are major constituents of plant cell walls.

beta-1,4-linked glucose molecules. Formed at wounding sites in plants. Shorter than cellulose

beta-1,4-linked N-acetyl glucosamine. Major structural component of exoskeletons of insects and cell walls of fungi. Chitin in fungal cell walls can be degraded by the chitinase enzyme made by plants as a part of defense mechanisms against fungi.

Structural Polysaccharides

alpha,4-linked stored in the liver and muscles of animals. Both starch and glycogen are easily digestible by humans.

alpha-1,4 linked glucose,amylase, and amylopectin found in plants. They are major storage products in potato,rice, wheat, and corn.

Others: Carotenoids and Steroids

lipids with 4 fused C-rings

color pigments used for photosynthesis in plants and for vitamin-A synthesis in animals

Triglycerides or Fats

Fatty acid carbon chain saturated with H, No double bonds or kinks bonds between Cs, Usually solid at room temperature, Closely packed to each other, Most animal fats and tropical oils.

Not saturated with H, One or more double bonds, Liquid at room temperature, Not so close, Most plant fats especially temperate oils Example: canola oil

glycerol (a three-carbon alcohol) combined with fatty acids (a long hydrocarbon chain with a -COOH group) which may be in the form of mono-, di-, or triglycerides

Phospholipids

glycerol + two fatty acids + a phosphate group +another chemical group, both hydrophilic and hydrophobic (amphipathic), separate different parts of cells and maintain the compartments of membrane-bound structures

atoms or groups of atoms covalently bonded to the carbon skeleton
