Ionic bonds
Donate & accept electrons
Cation (+) vs. Anion (-)
Solid; mainly in teeth and bones
Electrolytes formed when compound breaks apart into + or - ions in solution
Covalent bonds
Share electrons
When two or more atoms share valence electrons
Covalent polar
unequal sharing, hydrophilic
Covalent non polar
equal sharing, hydrophobic, most common
Hydrogen bonds
Weak
Attraction between a slightly negative and slightly positive molecule
Create surface tension, gives water cohesion
Stabilizer of larger molecules
Monosaccharides
Simple sugars that contain from 3-7 carbon atoms
Disaccharides
Simple sugars formed from the combination of two monosaccharides by dehydration synthesis
Polysaccharides
Forms tens to hundreds of monosaccharides joined by dehydration synthesis
Fatty acids
Used to synthesize triglycerides and phospholipids or catabolized to generate ATP
Triglycerides
Protection, insulation, energy storage.
Phospholipids
Major lipid component of cell membranes.
Structural protein
Form structural framework of various parts of body
Regulatory proteins
Function as hormones that regulate various physiological processes, control growth and development; as neurotransmitrers,
mediate responses of nervous svstem.
