Question:
What is the prefix for a benzene ring?
Answer:
Phenyl-
Question:
Describe the synthesis of alcohols
Answer:
Alcoholic fermentation: microorganisms produced ethanol, and alcohol, as a
byproduct from the conversion of glucose to energy in the form of ATP
,Question:
Describe synthesis of ethers
Answer:
Dehydration synthesis: a water molecule is removed between two ethanol
molecules, combining them into one ether
Question:
Describe the properties of carboxylic acids
Answer:
They are weak acids
Question:
Describe the properties of Esther's
Answer:
Low vapor pressure causes them to produce strong odors
Question:
Describe the properties and biological importance of amines
Answer:
Weak bases, found in hormones, amino acids, and DNA structure
,Question:
Describe the properties and biological importance of amides
Answer:
Weak bases found in protein structure in pharmaceuticals
Question:
Carbohydrates structure and function
Answer:
Structure: CHO in fixed ratio of 1:2:1, -saccharides
Function: short term energy storage in animals, cell walls in plants,
exoskeleton structure in insects
Question:
Lipids structure and function
Answer:
Structure: CHO in unfixed ratio, no monomers, made of fatty acids, can have
a ring structure
Function: long term energy storage, waterproofing, cell communication
(steroids and hormones), thermoregulation
, Question:
Proteins structure and function
Answer:
Structure: elements are CHNOPS, amino acids, polypeptides, peptide bonds
Function: tissue repair, hormones, movement, immune defense, enzymes
Question:
Nucleic acid structure and function
Answer:
Structure: elements CHNOP, nucleotides (Pentose, Base, Phosphate), DNA,
RNA
Function: DNA is a long term storage of genetic information, RNA is a carrier
of genetic information to build a specific protein
