Q

Dehydration synthesis

A

A hydroxyl (OH) group and the (H) of another molecule are removed.
(They are removing water to combine monomers)
Use Enzymes

A

Storage of glucose for animals in the liver

21
Q

Starch

A

The energy storage in plants (also called amylose)

22
Q

Cellulose

A

Makes up cell walls in plants. Fiber

23
Q

Cellulose Fiber

A

Humans cannot break it down but helps everything move along

24
Q

Lipids

A

Are insoluable
Have more energy than any other macromolecule and should be eaten for long term energy
Phospolipid
Include fats and oils

25
What are lipids made up of
Glycerol and three fatty acids
26
What are the monomers of a lipid
Glycerol and three fatty acids
27
Saturated fats
Single bond and have animal products (fats)
28
Unsaturated fats
Double bonds and dont come from animal products (oils)
29
What fats are good
Saturated and unsaturated
30
Transfat
Not good fats and found in fried foods
31
What are proteins composed of
Are composed of amino acids and the monomer is amino acids.
32
What is the connection between each amino acid called
peptide band
33
Dipeptide/ polypeptide
Include several peptides
34
Proteins
Have 20 groups of amino acids and 11 the body generates and 9 must be indjested. Some are soluble The structure of the protein determies the function
35
What does the R group do
Determines the function of a protein
36
Nucleic acids
Direct growth and have RNA and DNA Consits of monomers and nucleotides
37
Nucleotides
Are the monomers of nucleic acids
38
What are nucleic acids composed of
Phopspahte 5c sugar Nitrogen containing
39
Are vitamins and minerals macrolmolecules
NO
40
Organic
Means it contains hydrogen and carbon
41
Vitamins
organic small amounts helps enzymes helps disease resistance extracted from plants/ animals nutrients the body needs
42
What are the two types of vitamins
Fat soluble Water soluble
43
Where are vitamins extracted from
plants and animals
44
Minerals
non organic found in the earth make enzymes help create strong bones for nerve implusles.
45
Two types of minerals
Macrol and trace minerals
46
Enduced fit
The enzyme hugs the substrate
