Molecular Diversity, Structure, and Function
Stanley Miller
-
-experiment concluded complex organic molecules could arise spontaneously under conditions thought at the time existed on the early Earth.
-
Hydrocarbons
-
-major components of petroleum, also known as fossil fuel
because it consists of decomposed remains
-
Isomers
-
-
*Cis-trans isomers: carbons have covalent bonds to the same atoms but differ in their spatial arrangements due to inflexibility of double bonds.
*Enantiomers: isomers that act as mirror images of each other that differ in shape due to presence of an asymmetric carbon.
-
-
Polymers/Monomers
Polymer: long molecule consisting of many similar/identical building blocks linked by covalent bonds
-
-
-
Organic Macromolecules
-
Lipids
-
-
-
Unsaturated Fats: has one or more double bonds with one fewer hydrogen atom on each double bonded carbon
-
-
Proteins
-
-
-
Peptide Bonds: when two amino acids are positioned so the carboxyl group and amino group are adjacent , and becomes joined by a dehydration reaction
-
Nucleic Acids
Nitrogen bases: Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine, Adenine (DNA). Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Uracil (RNA)
Nucleotides: monomers that consists of a pentose,nitrogenous, and one to three phosphate groups
