Lecture 3: Functional Groups & Macromolecules
Fxl groups
parts of molecules that can affect other molecules
change function/structure, solubility, reactivity, polarity, acidity of molecule they're added to
Hydroxyl Group
can give off hydrogens, can act as an acid
adds polarity & reactivity, decreases stability
MORE interactions with other molecules
LOTS in carbohydrates, nucleic acids
need to be broken down into monosaccharides
hydroxyl groups help monosaccharides form more complex carbohydrates by forming the bonds between monomers
Phosphate Group
carbohydrates; glycolysis to make ATP
proteins; energy stored in phosphates can be used by enzymes to catalyze reactions; makes proteins more reactive with other mols (some proteins need them to be activated)
phospholipid bilayer: polar heads and nonpolar (hydrocarbon) tails make a semi-permeable layer
nucleic acids; backbone of DNA & ATP cell energy storage
SUPER polar & reactive, therefore less stability; hydrophilic
Non polar
Stable no partial or formal charge
