Q

One glycerol and three fatty acids will join to create this.

A

fat (triglyceride)

24
Q

This is a chain of carbons without double bonds where it is full of hydrogen

A

saturated fatty acid

25
A condition where the arteries clog because of saturated fats.
atherosclerosis
26
A chain of carbons that has double bonds and it is not completely full of hydrogen .
unsaturated fatty acid
27
A group of lipids that are made of 4 fused rings. They are often used to form hormones. They do increase muscle growth and some can be used to treat sickness.
Steroids
28
Macromolecule that is responsible for most functions of the body. Helps to build and repair. Made up of amino acids
proteins
29
The monomers for proteins
amino acids
30
This is what holds amino acids together
peptide bond
31
A chain of amino acids is called this _______________. It is not called the protein until the protein folds into its shape.
polypeptide
32
This determines the function of a protein
protein shape
33
A disorder that is caused when the 6th amino acid in the hemoglobin protein is changed. Causes a misshape in the red blood cell which can result in the cells sticking together and not hold enough oxygen.
sickle cell
34
The process in which something like temperature causes a protein to change its shape will lead it to not function the proper way.
denaturation
35
This is the macromolecule that contains all the information our body needs. DNA and RNA are examples
nucleic acids
36
The monomers of nucleic acid. Each one consist of a 5-carbon sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base
nucleotide
37
The sugar found in DNA
deoxyribose
38
The sugar found in RNA
ribose
39
DNA: Double Stranded/Double Helix/ Sugar is deoxyribose RNA: Single Stranded/ Sugar is Ribose/ Has U instead of T
DNA vs. RNA
40
The sides of the DNA are referred to as the
sugar phosphate backbone
41
Animals such as pigs, beef, duck are all...
sources of saturated fat
42
Plants and fish are ...
sources of unsaturated fat
43
There are 20 amino acids and this is what makes them different.
Side Group
44
The process of adding hydrogen to unsaturated fats to make them solid.
hydrogenation
45
The carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in carbohydrates are always found in this ratio.
1:2:1
46
This is the element that is found in proteins but not carbohydrates, and lipids.
Nitrogen
47
People that cannot break down a specific sugar found in milk are said to be
lactose intolerant
48
Used to find out if a simple sugar is present. Liquid will change from blue to reddish brown when heated.
benedict test
49
Will create a very dark spot in the presence of starch
Iodine Test
50
Causes a change of color from blue to violet when there is protein.
Biuret Test
51
This is surgically created in a cow to study the bacteria in the rumen (stomach) and to help other sick cows.
fistula
