Chaper 2 Test 1 Flashcards
Carbohydrates
Are organic molecules composed primarily of carbon hydrogen and oxygen atoms and range in sizes small very large
Monosaccharides
Large carbohydrates are composed of numerous relatively simple building blocks simple sugars
Examples
Ribose, deoxyribose, glucose
Isomers
Common 6 carbon sugars such as a glucose fructose and galactose
Which are molecules that have the same number and types of atoms but differ in their 3 dimensional arrangement
Disaccharides
Are composed of two monosaccharides bound together through a dehydration reaction
Example
Sucrose lactose maltose
Sucrose
Glue close and fructose combine to form a disscharide
Polysaccharide
Our long chains of monosaccharides
Examples
Cellulose starch and glycogen
Glycogen
Or animal starch is a multi branched polysaccharide composed of many glucose molecules
Is the main storage form of glucose in humans
Starch and cellulose
- To polysaccharides found in plants
- Both are composed of long chains of glucose
- Plants use starch as an energy storage molecule
Lipids
A major group of organic modules are relatively insoluble in water
Fats
Major type of lipid
The fats humans and just are broken down by hydrolysis reactions and Celso release energy for use by those cells
Triglycerides
Constitute 95% of the fats in the human body
-two different types of building blocks one glycerol and three fatty acids
Glycerol
Is a three carbon molecule with a hydroxyl group attached to each carbon Atom
Fatty acid
Is a straight chain of carbon atom with a carboxyl group attached at one end
Carboxyl
Consist of both oxygen atom and a hydroxyl group attached to a carbon atom
Saturated
It contains only single covalent bonds between carbon Atoms
example beef pork for milk
