Q

State one function of glucose, lactose, and glycogen in animals.

A

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

Q

Define hydrolysis and define condensation

*outlining relationship between monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides; between fatty acids, glycerol, triglyceride; amino acids and polypeptides.

A

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

Q

Compare the use of carbohydrates and lipids and energy storage.

A

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.
