Document Summary
Get blue scantrons: ppolysaccharides - polymers of sugars - have storage and structural roles, the architecture and functions pf a polysaccharide are determined by it super monomers and the positions of it glycosidic linkages. The fatty acids can be all the same or they can be two or three different kinds. Fatty acids vary in lengths and in the number and locations of double bonds. Saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible and no double bonds trans fats can be packed more heavily. The major function of fats us energy storage. Adipose cells: adipose tissue also cushions your organs and insulates your body. Phospholipids: two fatty acids and a phosphate group are attached to glycerol, the two fatty acid tails are hydrophobic but the phosphate group and its attachments form a hydrophilic head. Are lipids characterized by a carbon skeleton consisting f for fused rings.
