__Chapter 1: The Chemical Nature of Cells__
This chapter included: __Glossary words:__ carbohdrates: organic compounds that include sugars, starch, and cellulose and are made up of carbon hydrogen and oxygen. cellulose: complex carbohydrate, made up of many glucose molecules, also makes up plant cell walls. chitin: carbohydrate material present in exoskelitons and some cell walls of fungi's conjugate protein: where amini acids of a protine, particulary protines in the nucleus, associat with other groupes, such as nucleoprotines, in wich protines conjugate with amino acids. DNA: (deoxyrobonucleic acid)coded genetic instructions, a major part of chromosomes. contains, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. disaccharide: two monosaccharides eg. sucrose fatty acids:sub units of acids, oils and waxes. glucose: C6 H12 O6, a common monosachride, a good sorce of energy. glycerol:a molecule in wich 3 fatty acids are used to make lipids. glycogen:a polysaccharide that is the storage carbophydrat on liver and muscle tissue hydrophillic:a substance that desolves easily in water. hydrophobic:a substanc that is insoluble(does not dissolve) lipids:a genral term for fats oils and wax's. metabolism: total of all chemical reactions occuring in a organism. monomers: a small sub unit or a larger unit of cells. also known as building blocks of cells and includes sugars, fats, ammino acidsand nucleotides.basic building blocks of DNA and RNAand consisting of the phosphate groupe. a base and a sugar. monosaccharide: a kind of simple sugar molecule such as glucose. nucleic acids:compounds, such as DNA or RNA built form nucleotide sub units. phospholipids: major type of lipds found in plasma membranes. polymers: large molecules made of identical or simular single units, for example, starch wich is made of many glucose units. polypeptide: macro molecule built of amino acid sub-units and linked by peptide bonds(chemical) to form a single chain. polysaccharides: carbohydrate made of many monosachride units. proteins: a long unbranched chain of amino acids. they differ fropm carbohydrates because they have a nitrogen group. proteome: all the diffrent types of proteins made by a single cell or organism. proteomics: the study proteomes. RNA: (ribonnucleic acid) Messenger of genetic codes to the DNA in cells. starch: is a polysaccharide wich is made up of more than 10 glucose units, main storage carbohydrate in many plant cells. steroids: a lipid that is produced in the body in all orgasnisms, it is a hormoan. triglycerides:made up of 3 fatty acid molecules and 1 glycerol molecule. organic.
