Q
  • Yeast have an enzyme called zymase that allows them to convert monosaccharides into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide.
  • The conversion of monosaccharides into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. Yeats perform this. They grow and metabolize sugar solution until they accumulation of alcohol becomes toxic (14-18%), thereby killing the yeast.

Q

Due to depletion of ATP, no new ATP to replace spent ATP during muscle contraction, causing the muscles to stay contracted.

Q

Occurs in fats and oils (a type of lipid), due to being exposed to warm, moist air.
Two processes that cause this:
1. Hydrolysis
2. Oxidation

A

Q

Occurs when fat in the human body comes into contact with alkali soil (high sodium carbonate content, clay-like, poor drainage).

  • Occurs often in the cheeks, buttox and breasts.
  • Can be prevented with preventative caskets and vaults.

Q
  1. Alcohols

2. ketones

A

2 functional groups in ketose

17
Q
  1. alcohols

2. aldehydes

A

2 functional groups in aldose

18
Q

Very hydrophilic due to high oxygen content.

A

Carbohydrates

19
Q

Blood sugar, stored in the liver as glycogen, makes ATP.

20
Q

The sweetest sugar, commonly found in fruit.

21
Q

Glucose + galactose are the result of hydrolysis of this.

22
Q

Glucose + fructose are the result of hydrolysis of this.

23
Q
  1. Long term storage of carbohydrates (energy).

2. Used structurally because they are resistant to digestion by enzymes.

A

Purpose of polysaccharides

24
Q

Sugars are transported in organisms in this form.

A

Disaccharides

25
Disaccharides and then monosaccharides.
Hydrolysis of polysaccharides
26
- glycogen is for storage | - chitin is used for structure, but not for all.
Animal polysaccharides
27
Starch- storage | Cellulose- structure of cell walls
Plant polysaccharides
28
When reducing these in the presence of an oxidizing agent, they will become a carboxylic acid.
Sugars
29
1. Fats and oils | 2. Waxes
Simple lipids
30
1. Glycerol (1) | 2. Fatty acids (3)
Subunits making up fats and oils
31
Fatty acids from animals and have the maximum number of H attached. Dense, most are solid at RT.
Saturated fats
32
Fatty acids from plants that have fewer than the maximum number of H attached. Kink in the fatty acid tail, liquid at RT.
Unsaturated fats
33
Made of fatty acids and a high molecular weight alcohol other than glycerol (some kind of polyhydroxyl alcohol).
Waxes
34
Made of fatty acids, alcohol, and another compound.
Compound lipids
35
Identified by isoprene units (5 carbon monomers). Pigments commonly found in plants.
Carotenoids
36
Used for communication in the body. 4 interlocking rings with modified hydrocarbon tail.
Steroids
37
My micro organisms using enzymes to chop up the long fatty acid chains into short ones that smell bad and taste bad.
Hydrolysis in rancidity
38
By oxygen in the air which destabilizes the double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids- changes into aldehydes and carboxylic acids.
Oxidation in rancidity
