Biology 3 Flashcards
Carbohydrates includes
Glycogen (animal) and starches (corn, wheat)
Glycogen
Branched structure
Starch
Straight rigid structure
Glycogen is made of
Glucose (monosaccharide)
Lipids includes
Fats, oils, and cholesterol
Lipids function
Cell structure (cell membrane) and stored energy
Two types of lipids
Triglycerides and phospholipid
Triglyceride is
Glycerol and 3 fatty acid tails
Saturated fatty acid
Fully saturated with hydrogen ions. All single bonds between carbs
Unsaturated fatty acid
Not fully saturated with hydrogen ions. At least 1 double bond
Phospholipid composed of
Phosphate, glycerol, 2 fatty acid tails
Phospholipid head
Polar and hydrophilic
Phospholipid tail
Nonpolar hydrophobic
Amino acid groups
Amino group and carboxyl group
The only thing that changes from amino to amino
“R” group
