Document Summary

Carbohydrates: basic building blocks are monosaccharides (simple sugars) Polymers of sugars are used to store energy. Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrate structures, formed of repeating units either mono- saccharides( e. g. , glucose , fructose , galactose) or di-saccharides ( e. g. , sucrose, lactose) joined together by glycosidic bonds. Chitin belongs to the biopolymer group and its fibrous structure is similar to cellulose. The parallel polymers of cellulose in the b configuration enable internal h bonding of all. This gives rise to tremendous strength and stability. Animals do not make an enzyme that can break the b-configuration linkage between monomers. Making 4 types of large macromolecules: sugar to carbohydrates, amino acids to proteins, nucleotides to dna and rna, fatty acids to lipids. The basic building blocks of lipids are fatty acids. Saturated fatty acid: the straight chains allow close stable packing of the molecule. Unsaturated fatty acid: a few c-c double bonds cause the molecule to be kinked.

Charts and tables are tools we use in science to break down information analytically and present data in an organized manner. It is a beneficial strategy for learning about and organizing scientific material, which we will be using often in this class. Make sure that you are detailed, thorough, and specific in your responses. Explain yourself clearly. Do not list a word or brief phrase without explaining what it means. For example, if you list diabetes for carbohydrates, make sure you explain how carbs are associated with diabetes. Don't leave the reader to make that connection for you. Also, make sure you provide APA-style references for each of your so
