Biology

What are carbohydrates and lipids? - answerOrganic compounds that are mostly
composed of three types of atom; carbon, hydrogen and oxygen

What do carbohydrates do? - answerprovide energy, in the form of sugars like glucose
and fructose, but they also make up structures like cellulose, which form the cell wall of
plant cells

What type of carbohydrate is the most important source of energy? - answermono-, di-
and poly-saccharides

What are mono and disaccharides? - answerpolar and soluble in water

What are polysaccharides? - answerMacromolecules resulting from polymerisation
(condensation) of sugars and are not soluble in water

Examples of monosaccharides - answerribose, glucose, fructose, galactose

What forms a disaccharide? - answertwo monosaccharides linked together by
condensation reactions with glycosidic bonds releasing one H2O molecule

Alpha glucose structure - answer

Beta glucose structure - answer

Examples of Polysaccharides - answercellulose, glycogen and starch

Monomer of Sucrose - answerglucose and fructose

monomer of maltose - answerglucose and glucose

monomer of lactose - answerglucose and galactose

monomer of starch - answerglucose

monomer of glycogen - answerglucose

monomer of cellulose - answerglucose

, In animals, what carbohydrate stores energy? - answerglycogen

What jobs do carbohydrates have other than storing energy? - answerstructural
components

What differs the polysaccharides all made up of glucose? - answerthey differ in the
arrangement of glucose molecules and position of the glycosidic bonds

Starch arrangement - answeramylopectin branched, amylose linear

What is galactose? - answera sugar in milk

What is fructose? - answera sugar found in fruit and honey

Main characteristic of lipids? - answerlittle to no affinity to water, mostly hydrophobic

What are the simple forms of lipids? - answerfat, oil and wax

What are lipids characteristics in different solvents? - answerthey are non-polar and
insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents

What are triglycerides? - answerthe main group of lipids. They are formed by
condensation reactions between one glycerol and three fatty acids, creating ester bonds

What are the main types of triglycerides? - answerfats and oils. Fats are solid and oil
liquid at room temp

What are fatty acids? - answercarboxylic acids, possessing a -COOH functional group

What are the two basic forms of fatty acids? - answersaturated and unsaturated

What differs saturated from unsaturated fatty acids? - answerUnsaturated fatty acids
have double bonds; a monounsaturated having one, whereas a polyunsaturated having
multiple

What are cis and trans isomers? - answercis having the double bond elements on the
same side, trans on opposite

Benefit of lipids over carbohydrates? - answerLipids have a higher energy content and
can act as thermal insulators

What is the primary protein structure? - answerthe number and sequence of amino
acids in a polypeptide

What is the secondary protein structure? - answerBeta pleated sheet and alpha helix.
Hydrogen bonds between polypeptides form these structures
