  1. Figure 3.1 Some Functional Groups Important to Living Systems (Part 1) Class of compounds and an example Functional group Properties Alcohols Polar. Hydrogen bonds with water to help dissolve molecules. Enables linkage to other molecules by dehydration. Hydroxyl Ethanol Aldehydes C==O group is very reactive. Important in building molecules and in energy-releasing reactions. Aldehyde Acetaldehyde Ketones C==O group is important in carbohydrates and in energy reactions. Keto Acetone

  2. Figure 3.1 Some Functional Groups Important to Living Systems (Part 2) Class of compounds and an example Functional group Properties Carboxylic acids Acidic. Ionizes in living tissues to form —COO– and H+. Enters into dehydration synthesis by giving up —OH. Some carboxylic acids important in energy-releasing reactions. Carboxyl Acetic acid Amines Basic. Accepts H+ in living tissues to form —NH3 Enters into dehydration synthesis by giving up H+. Amino Methylamine

  3. Figure 3.1 Some Functional Groups Important to Living Systems (Part 3) Class of compounds and an example Functional group Properties Organic phosphates Negatively charged. Enters into dehydration synthesis by giving up —OH. When bonded to another phosphate, hydrolysis releases much energy. Phosphate 3-Phosphoglycerate Thiols By giving up H, two —SH groups can react to form a disulfide bridge, thus stabilizing protein structure. Sulfhydryl Mercaptoethanol

  15. Figure 3.9 Primary Structure Specifies Tertiary Structure (Part 1) Chemically denature functional ribonuclease, disrupting disulfide bridges and other intramolecular interactions that maintain the protein’s shape, so that only primary structure (i.e., the amino acid sequence) remains. Once denaturation is complete, remove the disruptive chemicals. α helix β pleated sheet Disulfide bridge Denatured protein
