17
Q

polysaccharides

A

made of many many many sugar monosaccharides: starch, glycogen, cellulose

18
Q

starch (found in plants)

A

many glucose molecules stitched together in long chains (single chains)

19
Q

glycogen

A

how your body stores carbohydrates found in muscle and liver

20
Q

glycogen structure

A

is made of glucose but is branched off

21
Q

cellulose

A

is a major component in cell walls, building structure in plants

22
Q

cellulose

A

glucose molecules together but, chains are connected with hydrogen bond

23
Q

polar molecules

A

combine really well together, polar means + and - salt is polar

24
Q

fats

A

glycerol ( 3 carbon structure) and 3 fatty acids

25
CH IS
non polar
26
saturated
single bonds, Saturated fats are solid at room temperature,accessible for digestion,
27
un saturated
double bonds. ,while unsaturated fats are liquid
28
saponification reaction
a chemical process where a fat or oil (triglyceride) reacts with a strong base (like sodium hydroxide) to produce soap and glycerol
29
hydrophobic
non polar like fats
30
hydrophilic
polar, likes water
31
steroids (type of lipid)
are hormones, they are carbon rings and are derived from cholestorol
32
fats are not polymers they are
triglycerides
33
monomer of protein
is an amino acid
34
polypeptide
is our protein precursor, 100s of amino acids combined to polypeptide
35
amino acids are needed to build
protein
36
every chemical reaction in your body is
catalyzed
37
every amino acid consists of a central carbon atom
bonded to four covalent partners
38
what defines amino acid
amino and carboxyl groups
39
peptide bonds
that connect amino acids to form polypeptide chains, which fold into functional proteins.
40
essential amino acids
our body can not make this, we eat it
41
prion
is a misfiled protein, can't be used
