Q

What is cellulose structure to function?

A

Plant cell wall up of beta glucose, glycosidic bonds, unbranched/ straight chains, strong structure for plant cell walls, insoluable so doesn’t affect osmosis so walls dont burst

Q

What is glycogen structure to function?

A

Animals, glucose energy storage, a glucose, very branched, bigger surface area further hydrolyses, insoluble no affect on osmosis

17
Q

What is the test for carbohydrates reducing sugar?

A

Benedict test, add blue Benedict solution, heat water sample if sugar present it’ll turn red

18
Q

What is the test for carbohydrates non reducing sugars?

A

Benedict’s test, add hydrochloric acid, boil, rest for reducing sugars

19
Q

What are triglycerides made from?

A

Glycerol and fatty acids

20
Q

What are triglycerides joined by?

A

Ester bonds during a condensation reaction

21
Q

What is a saturated fatty acid?

A

Don’t have double bonds between carbon atoms, cause an increase in cholesterol

22
Q

What is a unsaturated fatty acid?
