atoms of a lipid and ratio compared to carbs- All lipids are made up of the same atoms: carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). Lipids contain the same elements that make up carbohydrates but in different proportions. n carbohydrates the C:H:O is 1:2:1, this is why they are called carbohydrates, carbon and hydrous, which is water. ... In lipids the components are the same but the ratio is less for oxygen, so it is 1:2

Monomer of lipids- Fats are a class of lipids containing two kinds of monomers, fatty acids and glycerol. Glycerol is a three carbon biomolecule containing three hydroxyl groups, one bonded to each carbon atom.

functions of lipids- The functions of lipids include storing energy, signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membranes.

food examples that have lipids- lipids in the diet and are commonly found in fried foods, vegetable oil, butter, whole milk, cheese, cream cheese, and some meats. Naturally occurring triacylglycerols are found in many foods, including avocados, olives, corn, and nuts.

polarity of lipids- Most lipids are non-polar (having no charged areas) or only slightly polar, with a very few charged areas. Water mixes with hydrophilic (water-loving) compounds by sticking to their charged groups. Since lipids lack charged groups, the water molecules have nothing to stick to and don't mix with them.

what is a triglyceride- A triglyceride is an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids. Triglycerides are the main constituents of body fat in humans and other vertebrates, as well as vegetable fat.

fatty acid structure- Generally, a fatty acid consists of a straight chain of an even number of carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms along the length of the chain and at one end of the chain and a carboxyl group (―COOH) at the other end. ... It is that carboxyl group that makes it an acid (carboxylic acid).

What is the phospholipid structure and function for cell membrane- Phospholipids. Phospholipids, arranged in a bilayer, make up the basic fabric of the plasma membrane. They are well-suited for this role because they are amphipathic, meaning that they have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. Chemical structure of a phospholipid,

indicators of a lipid- sudan III solution-lipids in liquids stains fat oils red.

Nucleic acids contain the same elements as proteins: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen; plus phosphorous.

Nucleic acids are composed of nucleotides, which are the monomers made of three components: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base.

Nucleic acids are the main information-carrying molecules of the cell, and, by directing the process of protein synthesis, they determine the inherited characteristics of every living thing. The two main classes of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

A nucleotide is made up of three parts: a phosphate group, a 5-carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine.

The purines in DNA are adenine and guanine, the same as in RNA. The pyrimidines in DNA are cytosine and thymine; in RNA, they are cytosine and uracil.

The rules of base pairing (or nucleotide pairing) are: A with T: the purine adenine (A) always pairs with the pyrimidine thymine (T) C with G: the pyrimidine cytosine (C) always pairs with the purine guanine (G).

DNA is a double-stranded molecule, while RNA is a single-stranded molecule. DNA is stable under alkaline conditions, while RNA is not stable.

the atoms in a carb and its atom ratio- Carbohydrates contain only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms; prior to any oxidation or reduction,  atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water)

what is the monomer of carbs-  Monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates and are often referred to as “the simple sugars

whats the function of carbs-  Carbohydrates serve several key functions in your body. They provide you with energy for daily tasks and are the primary fuel source for your brain's high energy demands.

what are some food examples of carbs- Carbohydrates are found in a wide array of both healthy and unhealthy foods—bread, beans, milk, popcorn, potatoes, cookies, spaghetti, soft drinks, corn, and cherry pie.

what is starch- Starch, a white, granular, organic chemical that is produced by all green plants. ... Starch is a polysaccharide comprising glucose monomers joined in α 1,4 linkages.

what is glycogen- Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals, fungi, and bacteria. The polysaccharide structure represents the main storage form of glucose in the body.

what  is cellulose- Cellulose is an organic compound with the formula ₙ, a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of β linked D-glucose units.

chemical indicators of carbs-Carbohydrates such as starch are detected by mixing a sample with 2–4 drops of iodine or Lugol's solution. The solution will turn from a yellow-brown color to a dark purple if starch is present. The color change is due a chemical reaction bewteen the large carbohydrate molecule and the iodine ions.

simple vs complex carbs- Complex carbohydrates are present in foods such as bread and pasta. Simple carbohydrates are in foods such as table sugar and syrups. Complex carbohydrates contain longer chains of sugar molecules than simple carbohydrates. The body converts these sugar molecules into glucose, which it uses for energy.

It has a nitrogen atom, two carbon atoms, one or two oxygen atoms, and a few hydrogens.

Proteins are composed of monomers called amino acids.

The functions of protein are growth, acts of messenger, and elemental reactions.

The building blocks of proteins are amino acids, which are small organic molecules that consist of an alpha (central) carbon atom linked to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a variable component called a side chain.

Multiple amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, forming a long chain.

A linear organic polymer consisted of a large number of amino acid residues bonded together in a chain.

The four levels of protein structure are primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.

An enzyme is a substance produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction.

Hormones are a chemical substance produced in the body that controls and regulates the activity of certain cells or organs.

Examples of structural proteins can be keratin, collagen, and elastin.

Chemical indicator, any substance that gives a visible sign, usually by a color change, of the presence or absence of a threshold concentration of a chemical species, such as an acid or an alkali in a solution. An example is the substance called methyl yellow, which imparts a yellow color to an alkaline solution.

monemer-  a molecule that can be bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer.

polymer- A polymer is a substance or material consisting of very large molecules, or macromolecules, composed of many repeating subunits.

condensation reaction- In organic chemistry, a condensation reaction is the combination of two molecules to form a single molecule, usually with the loss of a small molecule such as water.

hydrolysis- Hydrolysis is any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water ruptures one or more chemical bonds.

element of life- The four basic elements of life are: Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and phosphorus. These four elements are found in abundance in both the human body and in animals.

hydrophobic vs hydrophilic- hydrophobicity is the physical property of a molecule that is seemingly repelled from a mass of water. hydrophilic is A hydrophile is a molecule or other molecular entity that is attracted to water molecules and tends to be dissolved by water.
