25
why is water so soluble?
there are so many OH (
26
this is the process to combine sugars?
dehydration synthesis
27
this is the process to cut up sugars
hydrolysis
28
Cellulose is also known as
fiber/roughage
29
protein catalyst
enzymes
30
every reaction in your body is helped by these
enzymes
31
Cellulose is made for energy storage in
plants
32
no animal on earth can digest this
cellulose
33
If a hydroxyl is above the ring it is considered to be a
Beta glucose
34
if a hydroxyl is below the ring it is considered to be an
alpha glucose
35
This is another type of carb that makes exoskeleton in bugs
chitin
36
starch is an
alpha glucose
37
this is a characteristic of a lipid
it's hydrophobic
38
Lipids are all composed of
C, H, O atoms
39
Cholesterol is an example of a
steroid
40
Why do we need cholesterol?
creates cell membrane, sex hormones are made of cholesterol hormones
41
These are the three steroids for bond's sex hormones
estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
42
1 triglyceride molecule is made up of
1 glycerol molecule and three fatty acid chains
43
to much saturated fats can cause this disease
artheroschlerosis
