Q

What are the 3 types of lipids

A

Triglisaride
Phospholipids
Steroids and waxes

17
Q

What is the structure of a triglyceride

A

One glycerol molecule bonded to 3 fatty acids by ester bonds

18
Q

What it’s the function of a triglyceride

A

Long term energy source

19
Q

Describe the structure of a phospholipid

A

2 fatty acids chains attached to a glycerol molecule

20
Q

Structure of waxes

A

Fatty acid chain

21
Q

Saturated fat (propites)

A

Straight chains ( so sit straight in the bloodstream and clog )
High melting point
Single bonds

22
Q

Unsaturated fat

A

Double bond
Low melting point
Easier to digest
Bent shape don’t clog arteries as much

23
Q

Which type of fat is better for health

A

Unsaturated ( less likely to cause build up of fatty acids and cause heart issues )

24
Q

Why can to many triglsirides be dangerous to health

A

Raise risk of heart disease and stroke

25
Q

What is the primary structure of a protein

A

Simplest level of protein structure unique sequence of amino acids that make up a polypeptide

26
Q

What form can the protein be in is secondary structure

A

Beta Pleated sheet or alpha helix unique chain of amino acids as it either coils or folds
They are help by hydrogen bonds

27
Q

What bonds hold tersiary structures in place

A

Hydrophobic interactions hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds

28
Q

Give three differences between globular and fibrous proteins

A

fibrous: regular sequence of amino acids, chains, varied length, stable structure,
globular: irregular sequence identical length, unstable structure,

29
Q

What is the structure and function of hemaglobin

A

Hemaglobin in red blood cells and it binds with oxygen
