Back 10

Lipids

Front 11

Back 11

Proteins

Front 12

Back 12

Nucleic acid

Front 13

What's the general carbohydrate formula?

Back 13

(Ch2o)n

Front 14

What is the main purpose of a carbohydrate

Back 14

Quick energy

Front 15

Why is glycogen important

Back 15

Glycogen is an energy storage for of glucose that is found in the liver and skeletal muscle. When the body body needs energy between meals or physical activity, glycogen is broken down into glucose

Front 16

What is cellulose?

Back 16

Found in plants and provide structural support in cell walls

Front 17

What is chitin?

Back 17

A nitrogen-containing polysaccharide that I'd the amin component in the hard outer shell of shrimp, lobsters, and some insects, as well as the cell wall of some fungi

Front 18

Lipids are made up mostly, what two elements?

Back 18

Carbón and hydrogen

Front 19

Fats, oils, and waxes are lipids? T or F

Back 19

True

Front 20

What is the main function of lipids?

Back 20

Store energy

Front 21

What is a triglyceride?

Back 21

Lipids that are A FAT if solid at room temp., and AN OIL if liquid at room temp., and are stored in the fat cells of our body.

Front 22

What is the difference between

Saturated and unsaturated fats and polyunsaturated

Back 22

Saturated -single bonds between carbon (no more hydrogen can bond)

Unsaturated -at least one double bond between carbon (can hold more hydrogen)

Polyunsaturated - more than one double bond between carbon (can hold more hydrogen)

Front 23

Phospholipids are important because they are responsible for the structure and function of what cell part?

Back 23

Cell membrane

Front 24

Steroids are an important category of lipids. What are some substances

Back 24

Cholesterol, hormones

Front 25

Proteins are made up of ..?

Back 25

Amino acids

Front 26

What elements make amino acids up?

Back 26

Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, sometimes sulfur

Front 27

How many different amino acids are there? And what bonds are they held by ?

Back 27

20.... peptide bonds

Front 28

What are the 4 important functions of proteins

Back 28

1. Structural support

2. transport substances in and out of cell

3. Communicate signals within cell and speed up chemical reactions

4. Control cell growth

Front 29

What are nucleic acids functions

Back 29

Store and transmit genetic information

Front 30

Nucleic acids are made up of subunits called ..?

Back 30

Nucleotides

Front 31

Nucleotides are composed of what 3 units ?

Back 31

1 phosphate

2 ribose sugar

3 nitrogenous base

Front 32

What a two types of nucleic acids

Back 32

RNA - ribonuclecic acid

DNA- deoxyribonucleic acid

Front 33

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back 33

Adenosine triphosphate

It stores chemical energy that is released when the bond between the phosphate groups are broken.
