monosaccharide - CORRECT ANSWER -the simplest carbohydrate, active
alone or serving as a monomer for disaccharides and polysaccharides. Also
called simple sugars, they have formulas that are generally some multiple of
CH2O (1:2:1).
disaccharide - CORRECT ANSWER -a double sugar, consisting of two
monosaccharides joined by a glycosidic linkage formed by a dehydration
reaction.
polysaccharide - CORRECT ANSWER -a polymer of many
monosaccharides, formed by dehydration reactions.
starch - CORRECT ANSWER -a storage polysaccharide in plants,
consisting entirely of glucose monomers joined by x glycosidic linkages.
Used for energy storage.
, glycogen - CORRECT ANSWER -an extensively branched glucose storage
polysaccharide found in the liver and muscle of animals; the animal
equivalent of starch.
cellulose - CORRECT ANSWER -a structural polysaccharide of plant cell
walls, consisting of glucose monomers joined by B glycosidic linkages. A
type of plant starch.
lipids - CORRECT ANSWER -any of a group of large biological
molecules, including fats, phospholipids, and steroids, that mix poorly, if at
all, with water (hydrophobic). No true monomers.
What are the three types of lipids? - CORRECT ANSWER -fats/oils,
phospholipids & steroids
fat/oil - CORRECT ANSWER -a lipid consisting of three fatty acids lined
to one glycerol molecule; also called a triacylglycerol or triglyceride.
Function as energy storage.
macromolecule - CORRECT ANSWER -a large macromolecule formed by
the joining of smaller molecules( subunit), usually by a dehydration
chemical reaction.
