153 questions and answers
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 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
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
