Please define the term "organic" in a reference to what it contains.
|
Compounds containing carbon that are found in living organisms are regarded as organic.

|
Is water made or use in a condensation reaction?
|
water is the by-product
|
|
Give two examples of a Monosaccharide.
|
Glucose, Fructose and Ribose
|
|
Give two examples of a Disaccharide
|
Sucrose (glucose+fructose)
Maltose (glucose+glucose) |
|
Give two examples of a Polyscharide
|
Starch (made of glucose subunits)
Glycogen (made of glucose subunits but linked differently from starch) |
|
What are three functions of lipids?
|
energy storage - in the form of fat in humans and oil in plants
heat insulation - a layer of fat under the skin reduces heat loss Buoyancy - lipids are less dense than water so it helps animals to float |
|
state a function of a monosaccharide
|
Transport - glucose is carried by the blood to transport energy to cells throughout the body
|
|
state a function of a polysaccharide
|
energy storage - energy is stored in the form of glycogen in liver cells
|
|
Between Carbohydrates and Lipids, which are usually used for energy storage over short periods?
|
Carbohydrates
|
|
give two examples of energy storage through lipids
|
1. lipids contain more energy per gram than carbohydrates, so stores of lipid are lighter than stores of carbohydrates that contain the same amount of energy
2. lipids are insoluble in water, so they do not cause problems with osmosis in cells |
|
give two example of energy storage through carbohydrates
|
1. Carbohydrates are soluble in water so they are easier to transport to and from the store
2. Carbohydrates are more easily digested then lipids so the energy stored by them can be released more rapidly. |

|
what does a polypeptide consist of?
|
a chain of many amino acids
|
|
what does a disaccharide consist of?
|
the linking of two monosaccharides
|
|
what does a polysaccharide consist of?
|
after a disccharide is formed and more and more monosaccharides are linked to the disaccharide a polysaccharide is created
|
|
what does a glyceride consist of?
|
when fatty acids are linked to glycerol by condensation reactions
|
|
water is added to polypeptides, what is created?
|
dipetides or amino acids
|
|
when water is added to Polysaccharides, what is created?
|
disaccharides or monosaccharides
|
|
when water is added to glycerides, what is created
|
fatty acids and glycerol
