,What are carbohydrates and lipids? - correct ans:Organic compounds that are mostly composed of three
types of atom; carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
What do carbohydrates do? - correct ans: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 ans:mono-, di- and poly-
saccharides
What are mono and disaccharides? - correct ans:polar and soluble in water
What are polysaccharides? - correct ans:Macromolecules resulting from polymerisation (condensation)
of sugars and are not soluble in water
Examples of monosaccharides - correct ans:ribose, glucose, fructose, galactose
What forms a disaccharide? - correct ans:two monosaccharides linked together by condensation
reactions with glycosidic bonds releasing one H2O molecule
Alpha glucose structure - correct ans:
Beta glucose structure - correct ans:
Examples of Polysaccharides - correct ans:cellulose, glycogen and starch
Monomer of Sucrose - correct ans:glucose and fructose
monomer of maltose - correct ans:glucose and glucose
monomer of lactose - correct ans:glucose and galactose
, monomer of starch - correct ans:glucose
monomer of glycogen - correct ans:glucose
monomer of cellulose - correct ans:glucose
In animals, what carbohydrate stores energy? - correct ans:glycogen
What jobs do carbohydrates have other than storing energy? - correct ans:structural components
What differs the polysaccharides all made up of glucose? - correct ans:they differ in the arrangement of
glucose molecules and position of the glycosidic bonds
Starch arrangement - correct ans:amylopectin branched, amylose linear
What is galactose? - correct ans:a sugar in milk
What is fructose? - correct ans:a sugar found in fruit and honey
Main characteristic of lipids? - correct ans:little to no affinity to water, mostly hydrophobic
What are the simple forms of lipids? - correct ans:fat, oil and wax
What are lipids characteristics in different solvents? - correct ans:they are non-polar and insoluble in
water, but soluble in organic solvents
What are triglycerides? - correct ans:the main group of lipids. They are formed by condensation
reactions between one glycerol and three fatty acids, creating ester bonds
