Carbohydrates 1
When two molecules bond together releasing H2O
Dehydration synthesis
An example would be plant cell walls
Cellulose
What is the function of carbohydrates
To provide energy
People missing this enzyme cannot break down milk sugars making them lactose intolerant
Lactase
A single unit
Monomer
Built around Carbon (C) which can form long chains
Macromolecules
An example would be exoskeleton
The three elements found in all carbohydrates are carbon, hydrogen, and ________.
Oxygen
What do polysaccharides store
Energy
Many units bound together
Polymer
Simple 1-ring sugars; glucose and fructose
Monosaccharide
Two monosaccharides combined; sucrose and lactose
Disaccharide
This monosaccharide is a source of energy for the body. Hint- Blood sugar
Glucose
The hormone that helps cells absorb glucose
Insulin
An enzyme would be an example of this molecule
Lipids
This polysaccharide is a form of energy storage in animals
Glycogen
Name the disaccharide in milk
Lactose
hydrogen+oxygen+hydrogen=
H2O
Sugars that are naturally found in fruits
Fructose
Compounds are broken up by water
Hydrolysis
This polysaccharide is a form of energy storage in animal cells
Starch
Polymers (MANY repeating units) of monosaccharides
Polysaccharide
Made up of two sugar units. For example glucose and fructose
Disaccharide
What elements is water made up of?
Two hydrogen and one oxygen
What are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids?
Types of macromolecules
