Fats
100
All living things are made up of four classes of large biological molecules
What is Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids?
100
Where humans and other vertebrates store glycogen
What is the liver and muscle cells?
100
The kinds of atoms lipids are mostly made of
What are hydrogen and carbon atoms?
100
Atoms that make up carbohydrates
What are sugars and polymers?
100
Constructed from two types of smaller molecules: glycerol and fatty acids
What are Fats
200
Large molecules made up of thousands of covalently connected atoms
What is macromolecules?
200
A of storage polysaccharide of plants consists entirely of glucose monomers
What is starch?
200
Kind of lipid where each carbon atom in a lipid's fatty acid chain is joined to another carbon atom by a single bond.
What is a saturated fat?
200
Two examples of carbohydrates
What are starches and sugars
200
Three carbon alcohol with a hydroxyl group attached to carbons
What is glycerol?
300
A large molecule consisting of many similar building blocks (small building blocks are called monomers)
What are Polymers?
300
A storage polysaccharide in animals, humans and other vertebrates
What is Glycogen?
300
Three common categories of lipids
What are fats, steriods and phosolipids?
300
Three kinds of monosaccharides
What are galactose, fructose, and sucrose
300
Consists of a carboxyl group attached to a big carbon skeleton...
What are fatty acids?
400
Macromolecules that speed up the dehydration process
What are enzymes?
400
Formed when a dehydration reaction joins two monosaccharides
What are Disaccharides?
400
A type of lipid where each atom in a lipid's fatty acid chain is joined to one or more double bonds.
What are unsaturated fats?
400
Plants and animals use carboyhydrates for..
What is strength and rigidity?
400
Contributes more than saturated fats to heart disease. Major function of fats is energy storage.
What are transfats?
500
Molecules that have molecular formulas that are usually multiples of CH2O
What are Monosaccharides?
500
Polymers of sugars, have storage and structural roles
What are Polysaccharides?
500
A lipid's fatty acids contain more than one double bond.
What is a polyunsaturated fat?
500
Living things use carbohydrates for...
What is their main source of energy?
500
Humans and other mammals store their fat in these cells... These cells tissue also cushions vital organs and insulates the body...
What is adipose cells?
