SEMMELWEIS ENTRANCE MEDICINE BIOLOGY EXAM WITH
CORRECT ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECTLY WELL DEFINED
ANSWERS LATEST ALREADY GRADED A+ (2025/2026)
What are carbohydrates and lipids? - CORRECT ANSWER-Organic compounds that are
mostly composed of three types of atom; carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
What do carbohydrates do? - CORRECT ANSWER-provide energy, in the form of
sugars like glucose and fructose, but they also make up structures like cellulose,
which form the cell wall of plant cells
What type of carbohydrate is the most important source of energy? - CORRECT
ANSWER-mono-, di- and poly-saccharides
What are mono and disaccharides? - CORRECT ANSWER-polar and soluble in water
What are polysaccharides? - CORRECT ANSWER-Macromolecules resulting from
polymerisation (condensation) of sugars and are not soluble in water
Examples of monosaccharides - CORRECT ANSWER-ribose, glucose, fructose,
galactose
,What forms a disaccharide? - CORRECT ANSWER-two monosaccharides linked
together by condensation reactions with glycosidic bonds releasing one H2O
molecule
Alpha glucose structure - CORRECT ANSWER-
Beta glucose structure - CORRECT ANSWER-
Examples of Polysaccharides - CORRECT ANSWER-cellulose, glycogen and starch
Monomer of Sucrose - CORRECT ANSWER-glucose and fructose
monomer of maltose - CORRECT ANSWER-glucose and glucose
monomer of lactose - CORRECT ANSWER-glucose and galactose
monomer of starch - CORRECT ANSWER-glucose
monomer of glycogen - CORRECT ANSWER-glucose
monomer of cellulose - CORRECT ANSWER-glucose
, In animals, what carbohydrate stores energy? - CORRECT ANSWER-glycogen
What jobs do carbohydrates have other than storing energy? - CORRECT ANSWER-
structural components
What differs the polysaccharides all made up of glucose? - CORRECT ANSWER-they
differ in the arrangement of glucose molecules and position of the glycosidic
bonds
Starch arrangement - CORRECT ANSWER-amylopectin branched, amylose linear
What is galactose? - CORRECT ANSWER-a sugar in milk
What is fructose? - CORRECT ANSWER-a sugar found in fruit and honey
Main characteristic of lipids? - CORRECT ANSWER-little to no affinity to water, mostly
hydrophobic
What are the simple forms of lipids? - CORRECT ANSWER-fat, oil and wax
What are lipids characteristics in different solvents? - CORRECT ANSWER-they are
non-polar and insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents
