Q

what happens to excess carbs in the body?

A

may be converted into lipids and stored as fat

24
Q

What are the 3 types of carbohydrates

A

monosaccharide, disacchardies, polysacchardies

25
glucose *
comes from plants through photosynthesis: main sugar metabolized by the body for energy
26
galactose
from milk (glucose -> galactose-> lactose)
27
fructose
from fruit
28
what's the molecular formula for all 3 carbohydrates
C6 H12 O6
29
Disaccharides *
two monosaccharides joined together by a condensation reaction, forming a molecule of water in the process
30
The 3 disaccharides *
sucrose, lactose, and maltose
31
polysaccharide
many monosaccharides joined together
32
Glucose+glucose+glucose+glucose... *
-> Glycogen (stored in liver and muscle) -> starch (stored in plants) -> cellulose ( stored in wood- most abundant organic compound on Earth)
33
what is adrenaline
stored glucose being released and afterward you feel exhausted because you used all your glycogen)
34
Lipids
non-polar compounds which contain C, H, and O but not in any specific ratio
35
Do lipids desolve in water, why or why not?
No because there hydrophobic
36
Lipids are found in....
meat, fish, oils, avocado, eggs, and nuts
37
What energy do lipids give off
long-term energy
38
Lipids allows body to absorb ________
fat soluble vitamins
39
Lipids are made up of *
glycerol plus three fatty acids
40
Most plants convert there excess sugars to what
starch or some seeds have oils
41
Saturated fats
comes from animals and are solids at room temp: easily stick together in blood
42
unsaturated fats
comes from plants and are liquids at room temp; healthier for you
43
However they easily go rancid and are difficult to use in solid food products so what do food manufactures do
they "hydrogenate" which makes them semi-solid at room temp: however they form trans fats which increase bad cholesterol
44
Types of Lipids *
Phospholipids, triglyceride, steroids
45
phospholipids
two non-polar fatty acid tails with a polar head containing glycerol and phosphate; form bi layers in water, and make up all cell membranes
46
triglyceride
three fatty acid tails connected to one glycerol molecule; primarily used for fuel; stores much more energy then carbohydrates
47
steroids *
a soft, wazy substances found among the lipids in the blood stream and in all your body's cells
48
steroids are used for...
forming cell membranes, some hormones, and is needed for other functions.
49
proteins
complex, specialized globular molecules composed oh C,H, O, N, and sometimes S
50
what are proteins used for *
most are used for structure, motion, and support (Hair, nails, organs, muscle, ETC), growth and repair of cells, transporting substances across cell membranes and oxygen
51
What do antibodies do in your immune system
protect us from foreign substances that disturb homeostasis
52
What foods are proteins found in
meat, fish, legumes, nuts, milk, eggs, grain, and soy
53
nonpolar-polar-acidic-basic
hydrophobic-hydrophilic-neg charge-pos. charge
54
NH2
amino group
55
CO2H
carboxyl group
56
The 4 different group drawing thingy
one part is the carboxyl group one part is amino group one part is the R group chain, and a hydrogen atom
57
all life is connected because....
it uses the same macro molecules as building blocks
