Q

what are the elements of carbs

A

carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO)

23
Q

examples of carbs are

A

sugars, starches, glucose, cellulose (plants walls) and chitin (fungi walls)

24
Q

monosaccharides are

A

a simple sugar (1) and is one hexogon

25
disaccharides are
simple sugar 2 sugars - sucrose and fructose, 2 hexogons
26
polysaccharides are
many sugars - strachs, chitinl, and cellulose
27
what are the elements of lipids
carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO)
28
what are the common parts of lipids
glycerol, and fatty acidss
29
what are lipids main functions
long term energy, cell membrane, storage, instillation, and messangers
30
what are some examples of lipids
fats, oils, waxes, steroids, hormones, and phospholipids
31
what is the difference between and saturated and unsaturated fat
saturated is solid and room temperature and doesn't have a bend in the fatty acid tails. unsaturated are liquid at room tempature and have a bend in the fatty acid tail
32
what's a phospholipid
forms cell membrane of all cells, and isn't soluble in water. has a glycerol head, and 2 fatty acid tails
33
what are the elements in proteins
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen
34
what are the functions of proteins
muscle contraction, cell transportation, enzymes, cell structures, and antibodies
35
what are some examples of proteins
insulain, keratin, melanin, cell channels/pumps, and fights bacteria and viruses
36
know what a amino acid looks like
37
know what a polypeptide looks like (braclete like structure)
38
know what a functional protein looks like (A mesh of stuff together)
39
what are the elements of a nucleic acid
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphoorous
40
what are the monomers of a nucleice acid
nucleotides
41
what is the function of a nucleic acid
stroking instructions to build proteins
42
what are examples sof nuceic acids
RNA, DNA
43
what is ATP referred to in our body
energy currency
44
Wich of the macromolcues is ATP most similar to
nucleice acids
45
what base does ATP contain
adenine
46
what type of sugar is found in ATP
ribosome
47
how many phosphate groups are in ATP
3
48
during Wich process do animals and plants break down glucose to make ATP
cellular respiration
49
C6H12O6+6O2 ----- 6CO2+6H2O+ATP
celluar resppiration
50
6CO2+6H2O ------ C6H12O6+6O2
photothesis
51
what does phottothesis do
removes carbon from the air
52
what are the reactants of photsynthesis
carbon dioxide and water
53
exothermic does what during a reaction
releases energy
54
