What is the chemical formula of water?
Saturated and unsaturated
What are the two types of fatty acids?
Triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids.
What are the 3 main types of lipids?
Made of chains of amino acids
What are the properties of proteins?
Starches and sugars that store energy.
What are carbohydrates?
Water molecules on the surface being pulled to the sides and down.
What is surface tension?
Made of straight chains, are solid at room temp, and found in animal products.
What are Properties of saturated fatty acids?
Major components of cell membranes, good at keeping water out.
What are phospholipids?
Make up proteins, 20 different kinds, chains of these are called polypeptides.
What are amino acids?
Monomere->Monosacharides
What makes up a carbohydrate?
What is adhesion?
Have a double carbon bond, have short curved chains, liquid at room temp, and are found in plant products.
What are Properties of unsaturated fatty acids?
The main form of stored energy in animals.
What are triglycerides?
Muscle tissue, speeding reactions, making antibodies, carrying messages/materials, making hemoglobin (carries blood oxygen.)
What jobs do proteins have?
Glucose
what sugars are found in larger plants?
What is capillary action?
olive oil, canola oil, coconut oil.
What are some examples of unsaturated fatty acids?
Chemical messengers
what are steroids?
4 Levels of organization
What determines a protein's job?
Fructose
What sugars are found in fruits
The opposite charges on each side of a water molecule.
What is polarity?
Butter, lard, bacon grease.
What are some examples of saturated fatty acids?
Fats and oils, store energy for later, made of chains of fatty acids.
What are the properties of lipids?
9, all found in eggs.
How many amino acids can a human not produce on its own?
A chain of multiple sugars
What are polysaccharides?
