Bio Unit #1 test Flashcards
what are Monosaccharides?
Simple sugars eg.
Glucose
Mon= 1
How do Plants make sugar?
Photosynthesis
How is cellular respiration different for monosaccharides and disaccharides?
Monosaccharides: we eat sugar cells break down into carbon dioxide and water to gain energy.
Disaccharides: when we eat our body breaks them down into monosaccharides then break down to gain energy
what are Disaccharides? explain..?
made of two monosaccharides boned together
eg. sucrose or lactose
naturally found in some fruits
what are the three types of polysaccharides ( carbohydrates)
Cellulose
Glycogen ( processed foods)
Starch ( carbs)
what is Cellulose?
made out of glucose molecules bonded with long chains
eg. celery, broccoli, beans, peas
Starch
made of glucose in long chain
eg. potatoes, carrots, corn, peas
plants store extra sugar as starch to save for later
when we eat starch we break down to glucose
Glycogen (processed foods)
high in monosaccharides eg. donuts, cookies, cakes
High in polysaccharides eg. pasta, bread
excess glucose is stored as glycogen in muscle and liver cells
why do we need nutrients?
you need to consume that allows your body to function or work properly. it gives us the energy we need.
what is a saturated fat?
made from saturated fatty acids.
no double bonds, forms a straight chain
they are solid
an example found in meat and coco butter
this is less healthy
what is a unsaturated fat?
made from unsaturated fatty acids
have double bond and chain is bent
they are liquid
ex. avocado or nuts or olive oil
what is a Phospholipids?
2 fatty acids and a phosphate group attached to a glycerol
they are modified triglycerides
what are steroids?
lipids
how many amino acids are there?
22
What are the protein structure?
primary structure
secondary structure
tertiary structure
quaternary structure
what does the primary structure
it’s straight chain in a snake pattered
what does the secondary structure look like
these chain are folder two common alpha and beta sheet
Tertiary structure look like?
foled in more complex way. they are folded into globular.
what does the quaternary structure look like
what out of more than one folded polypeptide chain
it more than one globular together
what are the types of nucleic acids?
Deoxyribose- nucleic acid
Ribonucleic acid
