Why they are so important in biological molecules.
- List four kinds of interactions and bonding in biological moleculesDescribe the functional groups present in the four biomolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. Relate their functional groups to their physical and chemical properties.Hydrogen bonds and hydrochloric interactions play important roles in stabilizing and organizing biological macromolecules. Describe how Hydrogen bonds and hydrochloric interactions affects the form and function of proteins.
- The “octet rule” in chemistry helps predict the types of bonds thatatoms will form. In general, an atom will be most stable if it fills itsouter shell of 8 electrons. Atoms with fewer than 4 valence electronstend to donate electrons and those with more than 4 valence electronstend to accept additional electrons; those with exactly 4 can do both.Using this rule, determine what category each of the followingelements falls into: N, S, C, P, O, H, Ca, Fe, and Mg. (You will needto work out the valence of the atoms.)Hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions play important roles in stabilizing and organizing biological macromolecules. Describe how hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions affect the form and function of proteins.List three main types of chemical bonds, and give an example of each.
- Why are van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonding important for cells? in detailIdentify specific functional groups commonly found in biological molecules and describe their properties.Give examples of four different types of bond involving hydrogen atoms. (polar covalent, non-polar covalent, hydrogen bonding and ionic). Comment on any unusual features and consequences of the examples you cite.
- The properties and biological activities of biomolecules are largely determined by their functional groups. In each of the following compounds below, circle and identify by name each functional group.List the four most common elements in organic molecules and state which common macromolecules always contain all four of these elements.List and define four types of chemical bonds.
