Document Summary

Chapter 5: the molecules of life, all living things are made up of four classes of large biological molecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, macromolecules are large molecules and are complex. A disaccharide is formed when a dehydration reaction joins two monosaccharides. Chitin another structural polysaccharide, is found in the exoskeleton of arthropods. Chitin also provides structural support for the cell walls of many fungi: concept 5. 3: lipids are a diverse group of hydrophobic molecules. Lipids are the one class of large biological molecules that does not include true polymers: the unifying feature of lipids is that they mix poorly, if at all, with water. Fatty acids vary in length (number of carbons) and in the number and locations of double bonds. Saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible and no double bonds. In a phospholipid, two fatty acids and a phosphate group are attached to glycerol.
