BIOS-208 EXAM 2 STUDY GUIDE WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTION!!
Monomer
Answers :small molecule that is used in repetition to make polymers.
Polymers
Answers :repeating units of monomers
Starch
Answers :energy storage in plants (potatoes)
Glycogen
Answers :energy storage in animals (muscles)
Cellulose
Answers :Sugar storage in plants
Chitin
Answers :Exoskeleton of insects and crustaceans, cell walls of fungi
Types of glycosidic linkage
Answers :in starch and glycogen- alpha linkages
in cellulose- alpha and beta linkages
Dehydration synthesis
, Answers :how polymers are formed, water is released as bonds are formed,
requires energy
Hydrolysis
Answers :breaks down polymers, water is consumed as bonds are broken, energy
is released
Glycosidic linkage
Answers :covalently joins monosaccharides to make disaccharides
Lipids
Answers :contain many C-C and C-H bonds, hydrophobic, store energy
Triglycerides
Answers :fats and oils (energy storage)
Phospholipids
Answers :make up the bilayer membrane (plasma membrane)
Steroids
Answers :in membranes, hormones
Saturated fatty acids
Answers :has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible and no double
bonds
Unsaturated fatty acids
