Molecular biology - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Repels water
      - Non polar molecules
      - Typically hydrocarbons (lipids)
    - - Attracts water
      - Polar molecules
      - Molecules that have functional groups
  - - - dissolves in water
    - - Dissolves in water
    - - Transported by blood proteins
      - bonded to non polar amino acids (hydrophobic)
    - - Low solubility in water
      - Lesser solubility due to body temperature
      - Transported through haemoglobin
    - - Dissociates into ions
      - Dissolves in water
- - - - Made up of monosaccharides
      - Glucose (mono), lactose (di), starch (poly)
    - - Made up of fatty acid + glycerol
      - Hormones, adipose fat, phospholipids
    - - Made up of amino acids
      - Ex : enzymes, hormones, antibodies
    - - DNA, RNA, ATP
      - Made of nucleotides
  - - - Fit with substrates at active site
      - Corrects the orientation of colliding molecules
      - Lowers activation energy
      - Speeds up chemical reaction without getting used up
    - - Breakdown of large molecules into smaller molecules
      - Digestion of macromolecules
    - - Building larger molecules from smaller molecules
      - Forming proteins from amino acids
