Document Summary

Properties of water versatile solvent [ions, polar molecules (hydration shell)] Cyclohexane unsaturated (presence of double bonds), very reactive, carcinogenic because double bonds can break and link with other things in body, leading to protein denaturation, mutation, uncontrolled mitotic division, etc. Structural isomers different covalent arrangements of their atoms, connected in different orders. Cis-trans isomers same covalent partners, but differ in spatial arrangements due to differences in positions of double bonds. Possibility of h-bonding because o is en enough. Aldehydes have an h attached to the c=o. 2 o"s that pull electrons away from hydrogen, tends to lose the proton. Confers a high energy bond upon a substrate. Carboxyl + hydroxyl carboxyl ester (esterification diglycerides + triglycerides) + hoh. Starch amylose and glucose, alpha 1,4 bonds, storage form in plants. Redox reactions are usually spontaneous lower energy level of products. Each polypeptide has a unique linear sequence of aas with a free carboxyl end (c-terminus) and a free amino end (n-terminus)
