CARBOHYDRATES
Carbohydrates are macronutrients, meaning they are one of the three
main ways the body obtains energy, or calories
POLYMER
Polymers are made up of many many molecules all strung
together to form really long chains (and sometimes more
complicated structures, too).
What makes polymers so fun is that how they act depends on
what kinds of molecules they're made up of and how they're put
together. The properties of anything made out of polymers
really reflect what's going on at the ultra-tiny (molecular) level.
So, things that are made of polymers look, feel, and act
depending on how their atoms and molecules are connected, as
well as which ones we use to begin with! Some are rubbery, like
a bouncy ball, some are sticky and gooey, and some are hard
and tough, like a skateboard.
MONOMER
A monomer (/ˈmɒnəmər/ MON-ə-mər[1]) (mono-, "one" + -mer,
"part") is a molecule that, as a unit, binds chemically
or supramolecularly to other molecules to form
a supramolecularpolymer.[2][3] Large numbers of monomer units
combine to form polymers in a process called polymerization. It
is a small molecule of an organic substance. A double bond
exists between the individual
BIOMOLECULE
A biomolecule or biological molecule is a loosely used term
for molecules or more commonly ions that are present
in organisms. Biomolecules include
large macromolecules (or polyanions)
such
as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids,
and nucleic acids, as well as small
molecules such as
primary metabolites, secondary
metabolites, and natural products.
MONOSACCHARIDES
Monosaccharides
[Greek monos =
single; sacchar = sugar] or
simple sugars consist of
one sugar unit that cannot
be further broken down
into simpler sugars.
Examples of
monosaccharides in foods are glucose, fructose and galactose.
DISACCHARIDES
A disaccharide (also called a double sugar or biose) is the sugar
formed when two
monosaccharides (simple
sugars) are joined by
glycosidic linkage. Like
monosaccharides, disaccharides are soluble in water. Three
common examples are sucrose, lactose, and maltose.
GLUCOSE
Glucose is a simple sugar with the
molecular formula C₆H₁₂O₆, which
means that it is a molecule that is
made of six carbon atoms, twelve
hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen
atoms. Glucose circulates in the
blood of animals as blood sugar.
MALTOSE
Maltose, also known as maltobiose
or malt sugar, is a disaccharide formed from two units of
glucose joined with an α bond. In the isomer isomaltose, the
two glucose molecules are joined with an α bond.
GALACTOSE
Galactose, sometimes
abbreviated Gal, is a
monosaccharide sugar that is
about as sweet as glucose, and
about 30% as sweet as sucrose. It
is a C-4 epimer of glucose.
LACTOSE
Lactose is a
disaccharide. It
is a sugar
composed of
galactose and
glucose. Lactose
makes up around 2–8% of
milk. The name comes from lac, the Latin word for milk, plus
the suffix -ose used to name sugars.
SUCROSE
Sucrose is common table
sugar. It is a disaccharide, a
molecule composed of the
two monosaccharides,
glucose and fructose.
Sucrose is produced
naturally in plants, from which table sugar is refined. It has the
formula C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁.
LIPIDS
In biology, a lipid is a substance of biological origin that is
soluble in nonpolar solvents.[3] It comprises a group of naturally
occurring molecules that include fats, waxes, sterols, fat-
soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and
K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides,
and phospholipids.
The main biological
functions of lipids
include storing
energy, signaling, and
acting as structural
components of cell
membranes.
DENATURATION OF PROTEINS
Denaturation of proteins involves the disruption and possible
destruction of both the secondary and tertiary structures.
Since denaturation reactions are not strong enough to break
the peptide bonds, the primary structure (sequence of amino
HABER PROCESS
An industrial process for producing ammonia from nitrogen
and hydrogen, using an iron catalyst at high temperature and
pressure.
DETERIORATION
The process of becoming progressively worse.
Autoxidation
Autoxidation is any oxidation that occurs in open air or in
presence of oxygen and forms peroxides and hydroperoxides. A
classic example of autoxidation is that of simple ethers like
diethyl ether, whose peroxides can be dangerously explosive.
Penicillin
Penicillin is a group of antibiotics which include penicillin G,
penicillin V, procaine penicillin, and benzathine penicillin.
Tetracyclines
Tetracyclines are broad-spectrum antibiotics whose general
usefulness has been reduced with the onset of antibiotic
resistance. Despite this, they remain the treatment of choice for
some specific indications.
Morphine
Morphine is a pain medication of the opiate variety which is
found naturally in a number of plants and animals. It acts
directly on the central nervous system to decrease the feeling
of pain. It can be taken for both acute pain and chronic pain.
Heparin
Heparin, also known as unfractionated heparin, is medication
which is used as an anticoagulant. Specifically it is used to
treat and prevent deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism,
and arterial thromboembolism.
