CARBS & LIPIDS

Question 1

Draw structure of alpha glucose

Answer 1

.

Question 2

Draw structure of beta glucose

Question 3

Properties of trigylcerides

Answer 3

1. Energy storage: ratioo of energ storing carbon-hydrogen bond compared to number of carbon atoms so a lot of energy is stored
   2.high ratio of hydrogen and oxygen atoms they avt as a metabloic water source so can release water when oxideised
2. Dont effect water potential and osmosis due to trigylcerides being large and hydrophonic making them insoluble in water
3. Lipids have a relatively low mass so can be used as storage without increasing mass
