Q

Main difference between lipids and carbohydrates

A

Carbohydrates are short term energy storage
Lipids are long term energy storage

17
Q

Proteins have amino acids which have the centers structure ?

A

Of NCC which is bibdeded to a amine group and a carboxyl group , as well one h and finally r group

18
Q

What is the name of the bond between proteins ?

A

A peptide bond is formed when two amino acids are. Joined

19
Q

What are the different protein structures

A

Primary Structure:Chain of Amino acids with peptide bonds
Secondary Structure: hydrogen binding if the peptide backbon which caused amino acids to fold into pleated sheets and alpha helixes
Tertiary Structure:More interactions between r groups to fold the protein three ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, disulfide linkage and hydrophobic linkages
Quaternary Structure: Multiple tertiary structures

20
Q

Desaturation

A

The process of proteins being unfolded three heat or by deviation of ph which will not allow it to do the work
