3.2 Carbs, Lipids, Proteins Flashcards
Three examples of disaccharides.
Maltose
Lactose
Sucrose
List three examples of monosaccharides.
Glucose galactose fructose
List three examples of polysaccharides.
Starch,
glycogen
cellulose
State one function of glucose, lactose, and glycogen in animals.
Glucose: chemical fuel for cell respiration
Lactose: makes up some of the solutes and milk, energy for suckling infants
glycogen: glucose in liver and muscles, short term energy source
State one function of fructose sucrose and cellulose in plants.
Fructose: found in many foods make them sweet.
Sucrose:transportable energy form.
Cellulose: primary component of four cell walls/structure.
Define hydrolysis and define condensation
*outlining relationship between monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides; between fatty acids, glycerol, triglyceride; amino acids and polypeptides.
Hydrolysis: reducing large particles to small particles by adding/splitting water
Condensation: reverse, condensing small particles to make a large particles, water is a product
State three functions of lipids
- energy source in the form of fat
- heat insulation three provide
- protection against physical injury to organs
Compare the use of carbohydrates and lipids and energy storage.
carbs; short-term storage, water-soluble, finally and rapidly digested, contain less energy per gram, stored as glycogen in animals cellulose in plants, affect on osmotic pressure.
Lipid; long-term storage, non-water-soluble, last medley and rapidly digested, contain more energy program approximately two times more, stored as fat in animals /oil in plants, less of that osmotic pressure.
