Explain the difference between monomers and polymers
Monomers are single units that can be put together to make polymers. Polymers are long chain molecules made up of monomers.
400
Longer chains of of carbohydrates are called
What is polysaccharide
400
Describe the structure of lipids. I am looking for two key words.
Lipids are made of a glycerol head and fatty acid tails.
400
Name the four tiers of protein structure from most simple to most complex.
Primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary
400
Made up of small repeating units known as
What is nucleotides
400
Define hydrolysis
Water molecule being added to break bonds between monomers
500
Explain the difference between simple carbs and complex carbs. Which one would you consume for energy all throughout the day? Why?
Sugars in simple carbs are not as complexly bonded as the sugars in complex carbs. Consuming complex carbs is better for energy throughout the day because the sugars are more complexly bonded and the human body breaks it down slowly over time.
500
Explain the difference between saturated fats and unsaturated fats then explain which one is better for your health.
Saturated fats have a straight structure and unsaturated fats have a bent structure. Unsaturated fats are better for your health since they do not stack up easily in blood vessels.
