In animals, what carbohydrate stores energy? --CORRECT
ANSWER--glycogen
What jobs do carbohydrates have other than storing energy? --
CORRECT ANSWER--structural components
What differs the polysaccharides all made up of glucose? --
CORRECT ANSWER--they differ in the arrangement of glucose
molecules and position of the glycosidic bonds
Starch arrangement --CORRECT ANSWER--amylopectin branched,
amylose linear
What is galactose? --CORRECT ANSWER--a sugar in milk

Page 1 of 28
,What are carbohydrates and lipids? --CORRECT ANSWER--Organic
compounds that are mostly composed of three types of atom; carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen
What do carbohydrates do? --CORRECT ANSWER--provide energy,
in the form of sugars like glucose and fructose, but they also make up
structures like cellulose, which form the cell wall of plant cells
What type of carbohydrate is the most important source of energy? --
CORRECT ANSWER--mono-, di- and poly-saccharides
What are mono and disaccharides? --CORRECT ANSWER--polar
and soluble in water
What are polysaccharides? --CORRECT ANSWER--Macromolecules
resulting from polymerisation (condensation) of sugars and are not
soluble in water
Examples of monosaccharides --CORRECT ANSWER--ribose,
glucose, fructose, galactose
Page 2 of 28
, What forms a disaccharide? --CORRECT ANSWER--two
monosaccharides linked together by condensation reactions with
glycosidic bonds releasing one H2O molecule
Examples of Polysaccharides --CORRECT ANSWER--cellulose,
glycogen and starch
