What are oligosaccharide used for

A

cell recognition and immunity

34
Q

what properties do lipids have

A

hydrophobic properties

35
Q

What does being hydrophobic allow lipids to do

A

Easily dissolve in non-polar solutions
cannot easily dissolve in polar solutions

36
Q

How are triglycerides and phospholipids formed

A

by condensation reactions with glycerol

37
Q

Fatty acids can be

A

saturated or unsaturated

38
Q

saturated has

A

single bonds

39
Q

What’s a cis fatty acid

A

hydrogen on same side
creates a bend in the chain

40
Q

what’s a trans fatty acid

A

both hydrogens on opposite sides
does not bend the chain

41
Q

What does trans fatty acids result in

A

higher melting point because more can be packed together without a bend in the chain

solid at room temperature

42
Q

What does cis fatty acids result in

A

lower melting point
liquid at room temperature

43
Q

Function of triglycerides

A

long term energy storage and insulation in adipose tissue

44
Q

More functions of triglycerides

A

stable
hydrophobic
store a high amount of energy per gram
help retain body heat

45
Q

Phospholipids are

A

amphipathic which naturally form lipid bilayer

46
Q

glucose is a

A

monosaccharide

47
Q

how is cellulose made

A

from molecules of beta glucose

48
Q

how is starch and glycogen made

A

molecules of alpha glucose

49
Q

what are 4 properties of glucose

A

• stable structure due to covalent bonds
• soluble in water due to polar
• easily transportable

51
Q

what is starch the storage polysaccharide for

A

plants

52
Q

what are the two polysaccharide that form starch in plants

53
Q

what is the storage polysaccharide of animals and fungi

A

glycogen (more branched than amylopectin)

54
Q

Explain the structure of cellulose

A

A

carbon hydrogen and. oxygen

60
Q

How many glycerol and fatty acids do phospholipids contain

A

two fatty acids bonded to 1 glycerol molecule

61
Q

In animals where are lipids stored

A
