Carboxyl group

How many fatty acid molecules combine with a glycerol to form one lipid molecule

3

In what form does the human body store excess sugar

Glycogen

In what form do plants store excess

Starch

Benedict solution

Any color other than blue: contains sugar

Iodine

Brown: contains starch


Any color other than brown, no starch

Carbohydrates contain what elements

Oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen

Lipids contain what elements

Carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen

Proteins contain what elements

Carbon, oxygen, sulfur, phosphorus, and nitrogen.

3 main functions of lipids

1Makes up the cell membrane


2Insulation/padding for organs and retains heat


3 energy storage

How many essential and non essential amino acids

9 essential


11 nonessential

What is the purpose of having enzymes in our bodies

Break substances making them usable

Capillary action

Movement is caused by attraction between molecules both using cohesion and adhesion

Why can water withstand a great deal of heat without undergoing change

Polarized molecules, cohesion, stick together and are hard to break apart while adhesion causes the water to stick to other things

Three factors of enzyme action

Temperature, pH, and concentration of enzymes and substrates
