Quiz 2: Chemical Level of Organization Flashcards
(CH2O)n
Carbohydrates
3-7 Carbon Atoms (glucose and fructose)
Monossacchrides
Two monosaccharides combines (sucrose and lactose)
Disaccharides
Two molecules with the same chemical formula but different shapes
Isomer
Three or more monosaccharides bound together
Polysaccharide
Structural element of cell wall of plants (humans can’t digest)
Cellulose
Long chains of glucose strung together (does not taste sweet)
Starch
Highly BRANCHED chains of glucose (animal starch)
Glycogen
Carbohydrates bound to proteins or lipids (glycoproteins/glycolids)
Conjugated Carbohydrates
Combine glucose and fructose to create…
Disaccharide - Sucrose
Tastes sweet/hydrophilic
Isomer
Hexagonal Monosaccharide
Glucose
Pentagonal Monosaccharide
Fructose
made/stored in liver, also stored in muscles, does not taste sweet
Glycogen
Fat molecules - hydrophobic
Lipids
composed of a long carbon chain with a carboxylic acid(-COOH) group at one end (hydrophilic)
Fatty acids
molecule composed entirely of single
bonds between adjacent carbons
Saturated Molecule
When you have one or moredouble bonds between adjacent carbons
Unsaturated Molecule
