carbs
What is the monomer of carbs?
What is the monomer of protein?
Amino acids
What is the monomer of lipids?
Fatty acid chains and glycerol.
What is autotrophic nutrition?
the use of inorganic substances to produce complex organic substances
name 3 functions of carbs
Energy, storage, structure
What elements do proteins consist of?
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur
Name 3 properties of lipids
Hydrophobic, form cells membranes provides thermal insulation and protection
State 3 types of heterotrophic nutrition and examples of each
Holozoic (humans) saprophytic (fungi) parasitic (leech)
what are 3 properties of disaccharides
Sweet, soluble and some are reducing like maltose
3 things they do
Muscle and tissue repair, growth and repair of cells, produce hormones, enzymes and adrenaline
Name 3 functions of lipids
Protection/ shock absorption around delicate organs, insulation(under skin vertebrae), component in cell membranes, buoyancy in mammals as blubber and makes hormones like oestrogen
State the 7 types of nutrients
Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, minerals, vitamins, water and fiber
what is condensation?
A process where two monosaccharides loose an h2o molecule to bond and form a disaccharide
What are the bonds called?
Peptide bonds
what is a bond called between glycerol and fatty acids ?
An esther bond
draw the chemical equation for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O —-> light/chlorophyll C6H12O6 + 6O2
Draw a diagram showing condensation between glucose and glucose
(Diagram)
Draw a protein formula
(Formula)
Draw condensation between a glycerol unit and 3 fatty acid chains
(Diagram)
State the type of nutrition these animals take, Mushroom, bacteria, lion, mosquitoes, lice and fish
Mushrooms are saprophytic, bacteria are saprophytic, Lion is holozoic, male mosquitos are holozoic females are parasitic, lice are parasitic and fish are holozoic
