Carbohydrates And Lipids Flashcards
What are the 5 types of Monosaccharides
Glucose 6 sides
Fructose 5 sides
Galactose 6 sides
Deoxyribose 5 sides
Ribose 5 sides.
What are the three types of Disaccharides
Maltose: Glucose and Glucose
Lactose:Glucose and Galactose
Sucrose: Glucose and Fructose
What are the three main types of poll saccharides
Cellulose ->Cell Wall
Starch -> Energy Source during cellular respiration
Glycogen —> Energy source and counterpart of starch in animals
What is the process of splitting monomers ?
Hydrolysis where water is used to separate the monomers
What is the name of the covenant bond in monosaccharides?
Glycosidic Linkage
List three functions for carbohydrates within cells
Short-term energy source (e.g. glycogen and starch)
1. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Structural component (e.g. cellulose in plant cell walls)
2. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Cell recognition and signalling (e.g. glycoproteins in plasma membrane
What are the two main types of polysaccharides ?
Amylopectin: May have 1-4 glucosidic bond or 1-6
Amylose: Only 1-4 glycosidic bond
What are lipids?
Lipids are a group of substances in living organisms that dissolve in non polar solvents such as ethanol and are hydrophobic.
What is the Element composition of Biomolecuoes
Carbohydrates: CHO
Lipids:CHOO
Proteins:CHOON
Nucleic Acids:CHONP
What is the basic structure of a lipid
A fatty acid which has a carboxyl group where the carbon is double bonded to oxygen and hydroxyl group another oxygen and hydrogen is bonded
How to differentiate saturated and un saturated
Saturated has a single bond between carbons
Unsaturated has a double bond between carbons
Difference between monounsaturated and polyunsaturated
Mono saturated has only one double bond between carbons
Polyunsaturated has more than one double bond between carbons
Unsaturated fats types and how to identify
Cris fatty acids have their hydrogen atoms bonded to form a v and they are bonded
Trans fatty acids: Are not bonded and have hydrogens in opposite sides
Good vs bad
Trans fats and saturated fats are bad
Cis fats are good
What are triglycerides?
Triglycerides are formed by condensation from three fatty acids and one glycerol, with water being created. The bond which is created is called ester bond
