Organic chemistry

glucerol + 2 fatty acids + PO4 + amino alcohol

glycerol + 1 fatty acid + PO4 + amino alcohol

hormones

Steroid

most abundant steroid in body

Polymers are materials made of long, repeating chains of molecules.

ex) DNA, clothing, fibers

Nyloin, Dacron, etc

addition

teflon, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride

hold genetic code

2 nucleic acid through hydrogen bond

A-T, G-C

hold genetic code

decomposes once it was used

help synthesis of proteins

huge molecules

Bigger chain than peptide bonds

Example: fibruous,globular, and membrane

have 50 or less amino acids

amino acid+amino acids

Amine + carboxylic acids

ex) serine, lysine, phenylalanine

polysaccharides

ten, hundreads, thousands of simple sugars connected

Monosaccharides

sugars in fruits, milk, vegetables

bread, cereal, starch

Fatty Acids

Unsaturated fatty acid: low melting point, liquid at room temperature, fewer interaction between bonds

saturated fatty acid: high melting point, solid at room temperature, strong interaction between bonds

long chain carboxylic acids: typically 12 to 18 carbon atoms

Cis and trans

isomerism through the hydrogenation of fats

triglyceride

3 fatty acids + glycerol
