Chapter 2 Bio Flashcards
Polysaccharides
Large, relatively insoluble carbohydrate polymers
Carbohydrate so organic compound
How many monosaccharides does it take bonded together to make a polysaccharide
10 to 100s
Glycogen
Polysaccharide
Storage of glucose for energy in humans
Where is glycogen found
In liver cells
skeletal muscles
Endometrial lining cells
Starch
Polysaccharide
Storage of glucose for energy in plants
Starch
Polysaccharide
Organic compound
Storage of glucose for energy in plants
Inorganic compound
No Carbon
Cellulose
Polysaccharide
Structural fiber in plants “roughage” in our diet
APPLE
Chitin
Polysaccharide
Structural fiber in some fungi insects crustaceans
Lipid
Fat
organic compound
Organic compounds
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
Nucleic acids
What do lipids contain
Carbons hydrogen oxygens
How much do lipids make up body weight
18-25%
Lipids have more or less bonds
Fewer covalent bonds
Are lipids soluble or insoluble
Insoluble
Carbohydrates are what for our cells. Why?
Instantaneous energy for our cells
Because glucose is the direct precursor to ATP
ATP
Currency of energy our cells use
How do our body’s break down carbohydrates into energy
By breaking it down to the simple monosaccharides glucose then to ATP
Do crabs have a hard process to get to energy
No because it is sugar
Carbs are used for what
Instant energy
What happens to extra carbs.
Gets stored as glycogen
What are lipids part of
Every single membrane in our cells
Part of our steroid hormones
All of apart of our Atipost tissue (cushions)
What does lipid dissolve in
Alcohols
Detergent
Oil
What is an excellent source of energy
Fat
What is a major storage component
Fat
Some serve as molecular signal compounds
Lipids
Steroids
Most per ounce energy
More than carbs
Lipids
Bet fuel
Stored for later
Lipids
Hydrophobic
Fat
Carbon dioxide Monoxide Oxygen KCL H2O
Inorganic compounds
Fats
Proteins
Glucose
DNA
Organic compounds
