Q

Lipids (fats ) are

A

Insoluble in water (non polar)
store 2.25x more energy per gran than any other molecule
component of cell membrane as cushion organs : carriers for vitamins A D E K ; raw material for synthesis of hormones; insulates against cold
composed of 2 structural units combined by dehydration synthesis
1 glycerol
3 fatty acids

23
Q

Lipids: Fats

A

triglycerides solid at room temp
single bond carbon atoms stable hard to break down
Saturated Fats ( you cant put anymore)
eg. animal fats like butter

24
Q

Lipids:Oils

A

Triglycerides that are liquid at room temperature
Double bonds between carbon atoms (reactive and easily broken)
unsaturated fats
eg plsnt fats and olive oil

25
saturated fats
Lipids Fats single bond stable ex animal fats butter
26
Unsaturated fats
Lipids oils double bond unstable easily broken eg plant fats n olive oil
27
Lipids :Phospholipids
Phosphate group glycerol backbone of molecule hydrophilic head hydrophobic tail soluble in water component of cell membrane
28
Proteins are predominant part of
muscles, skin , nerves, hair , organelles, antibodies, enzymes, provide energy for tissue although not main function
29
proteins are composed of
building blocks called amino acids which are made of amino group (NH2), Carboxyl group (COOH) and R groups
30
what determines the type of protein
the order and number of aa
31
what are sequences of aa determined by
genes
32
two types of aa needed to make muscles
8 essential aa obtained from food the body makes the rest of as needed for proteins
33
what happens if u lack essential aa
protein deficiency and disease
34
how are aa joined together
a water molecule is removed dehydration synthesis
35
what are chains of aa called
polypeptides
36
peptide bond
covalent bond formed between carboxyl group of one aa and the amino group of another aa
37
Denaturation
Physical or chemical factors that disrupt bonds cause change in the shape of the protein protein will assume new shape and result in change of physical properties and biological activity of the protein Can be reversed and once factor is removed assume original shape
38
which process is reversible and changes proteins shape temporally
denaturation
39
Coagulation
permanent change in protein shape ex. boiling an egg proteins in egg have coagulated and no matter how muchbit cools it cannot be reversed
40
Denaturation causes example
change in pH exposure to access heat or radiation
41
examples of types of carbohydrates
Simple sugars:monosaccharides: 1 unit of simple sugar , disaccharides: 2 units of simple sugar sucrose maltose lactose Complex sugars: Polysaccharides: many simple sugar units linked together , starch glycogen cellulose
42
what are excess carbohydrates stored as in animals n plants
excess carbohydrates are converted and stored as glycogen in animals and starch in plants
43
cellulose
polysaccharide component of plant cell wall
44
starch
energy storage in plants
45
glycogen
energy storage in animals
46
general chem formula for carbohydrate
C6H12O6
47
The triglycerides in fat lipids and oil lipids are in what state at room temp
Fat solid Oils liquid
48
What are lipids important functions
energy storage molecules, form cell membrane , steroids called estrogen n testosterone
49
which test is used to identify simple carbs and what is the result
Benedict solution , orange/green
50
what test is used to identify complex carbs and whats the results
Iodine , black
51
what test is used to identify lipids and whats the result
brown paper, translucent
52
what test is used to identify proteins and whats the result
biuret agent , violet / pink
53
control variable
what stays the same
54
manipulated variable
what is changed or unknown
55
responding variable
whats counted or measured for the test
56
are saturated or unsaturated lipids better
unsaturated
