Carbs part 1
The simplest carbohydrate, active alone or serving as a monomer
What are monosaccharides?
This polysaccharide makes helps in the structure of plants and cannot be digested.
What is cellulose?
A fatty acid that has one or more double bonds (bends/kinks) between carbons in the hydrocarbon tail. Such bonding reduces the number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon skeleton
What is an unsaturated fat?
The part of the phospholipid that is hydrophilic and extends toward the hydrophilic cell fluid in a cell.
What is the hydrophilic head/glycerol+phosphate part of a phospholipid.
This kind of weak bond forms between water molecules.
What is a hydrogen bond?
What is the function of Cellulose?
What is provides structural support for plant cells
What is glycogen?
A lipid made up of glycerol joined to two fatty acids and a phosphate group
What is a phospholipid?
An example of a steroid
What is cholesterol, estrogen, testosterone, progesterone
The oxygen atom in water is slightly this charge.
What is negative?
Carbohydrates can be found in what foods?
EX:(up to the discretion of the instructor) bread, pasta, sugar, etc.
This is the main fuel source for cellular respiration/cell energy and is stored if it is not used
What is glucose?
A fatty acid in which all carbons in the hydrocarbon tail are connected by single bonds, thus maximizing the number of hydrogen atoms that are attached to the carbon skeleton (glycerol). (no bends in the chain!)
What is a saturated fat?
The part of the phospholipid that is hydrophobic and is directed away from watery fluids
What is the fatty acid tails?
A chemical reaction that breaks bonds between two molecules by the addition of water; functions in disassembly of polymers to monomers
What is hydrolysis?
Carbohydrates are built off of these types of atoms/elements
What is Carbon, hydrogen and Oxygen?
These three disaccharides are some of the most common carbohydrates.
What is sucrose, lactose, and maltose?
A lipid consisting of three fatty acids linked to one glycerol molecule
What is a triglyceride?
What is the main function of lipids?
Long-term energy storage.
This property allows water to stick to itself.
What is cohesion?
A covalent bond formed between two monosaccharides by a dehydration reaction.
What is a glycosidic linkage/bond?
This energy storage in plants is a sugar but isn't sweet.
What is starch?
The reaction that creates lipid polymers by removing water.
Dehydration Synthesis.
This type of lipid repels water and protects things from water damage.
Waxes
Water can dissolve many substances, earning it this nickname.
What is the universal solvent?
