|
what is dehydration synthesis
|
the removal of water to create a bond.
|
|
|
what is hydrolysis
|
the addition of water to break a bond
|
|
|
what are carbohydrates in plants and animals
|
for plants it is cellulose and structure. for animals it is energy.
|
|
|
what does organic mean
|
carbon is present
|
|
|
what are macromolecules
|
large molecules
|
|
|
what are monosaccharides
|
one molecule of sugar. they can be stored or used instantly.
|
|
|
What is glucose
|
the main sugar of the body.
|
|
|
1 glucose + 1 glucose =
|
one molecule of maltose (disaccharide)
|
|
|
when two glucose go through dehydration synthesis what happens
|
they become a maltose molecule
|
|
|
what are polysaccharides by definition, as well as what they are in plants and animals.
|
apolysaccharid is made of more than two molecules of sugar(glucose). in plants it is cellulose and in animals it is starch.
|
|
|
what is glycogen
|
it is a polysaccharide that is stored in the liver.
|
|
|
when you put one sucrose molecule through hydrolysis what is the result
|
one glucose and one fructose
|
|
|
when and where does hydrolysis take place
|
it occurs in the digestive system when the body needs quick energy
|
|
|
what are the three kinds of lipids
|
phospholipids- cell membrane
steroids- hormones and cholesterol fats- triglycerides |
|
|
glycerol + 3 fatty acid chains =
|
a triglyceride (the form in which fat is stored in the body.
|
|
|
what are unsaturated fats
|
there is one less molecule of helium
|
|
|
what are saturated fats
|
they have max helium
|
|
|
if a triglyceride is unsaturated at one point it becomes...
|
monounsaturated
|
|
|
what is arteriosclurosis
|
when blood vessels become hard because they are fat
|
|
|
explain hydrolysis in lipids
|
Water is added to the bond between the glycerol and the fatty acid chains. the bond is broken.
|
|
|
What do proteins do in the body.
|
1. carry messages through the cell
2. allow chemicals in and out of the cell 3. 40% of protein is collagen |
|
|
what is collagen
|
strengthens connective tissues.
|
|
|
What is hemoglobin
|
a chemical in red blood cells that allows them to carry oxygen.
|
|
|
what are proteins made out of
|
amino acids
|
|
|
where does hydrolysis occur
|
it occurs in the digestive system
|
|
|
what is anaerobic respiration
|
occurs when your body doesn't have enough oxygen to make ATP
|
