Q

Where is starch stored in plants?

A

in plastids ( cellular structyrea); includes chloroplasts

17
Q

what is starch broken down by?

A

salivary amylase which becomes smaller molec- maltose & glucose; cell absorbs glucose

18
Q

Amylose

A

starch formed by unbranched chains of glucose monomer

19
Q

amylopectin

A

branched polysaccharide

20
Q

Glycogen

A

storage form of glucose in humans & other vertebrates; monomers of glucose
highly branched; stored in liver & muscle cells

21
Q

What is function of glycogen in the body?

A

blood glucose decreases; glycogen broken down- glucose (glycogenolysis)

22
Q

Cellulose

A

abundant natural bipolymer; cell walls of plants- structural support; found in wood and paper; made up of glucose monomers with beta glycosidic linkages
helps in bowel movement

23
Q

describe cellulose

A

every other monomer is flipped, allowing to pack tightly as long chains–> gives it rigidity and high tensile strength; cannot be broken down by human enzymes; made only by beta linkages

24
Q

What animals have the ability to break down cellulose?

A

herbivores w/ specialized flora in their stomach
animals; w/ bacteria & protists in the digestive system
grazing animals: appendix contains the bacteria
termites

25
Q

Chitin

A

contains nitrogen
makes exoskeleton-outer shell in Arthropods for protection
made up of N-acetyl- B-a glucoasmine
major component of fungal cell walls

26
Q

how does cellulose remove excess cholesterol?

A

fiber binds to cholesterol in the small intestine 7 exists the body via feces to prevent cholesterol from entering the bloodstream

27
Q

What is the difference between beta glucose and galactose?

A

In galactose, the OH is on the top for both sides.
In beta glucose, only one OH is on the top.

28
Q

sucrose

A

fructose & gluose

29
Q

What are isomers?

A

Molecules that have the same chemical formula but have different arrangements

30
Q

Give examples of isomers

A

sucrose, lactose, and maltose
glucose, galactose, and fructose

31
Q

What is the formula for disaccharides

A

C12H22O11

32
Q

Why is the formula for disaccharides C12H22O11?

A

One water is removed in the formation in order for dehydration synthesis to occur.

33
Q

What makes the sugars polar?

A

The hydroxyl group

34
Q

What is the chemical formula for monosaccharides?

A

CH2O

35
Q

What is the ring form of fructose?

A

has 6 carbons, but shape is a pentagon. 4 of the carbons directly form the ring; 2 of the carbons sit outside the ring.

36
Q

What is the structure of starch?

A

is linked in long chains with a small amount of branching

37
Q

What is the structure of glycogen?

A

Linked in many branching chains

38
Q

What is the ring form of cellulose?

A

Long single chains that pack tightly together

39
Q

What is the bacterial cell wall made out of?

A

Peptidoglycan
