Document Summary
Fructose is a hexose sugar found in many fruits while glucose is a pentose sugar that is a component of table sugar. The difference between a saturated fatty acid and an unsaturated fatty acid is that saturated fatty acids have. All single bonds between the carbon atoms. Many are long chains of carbon linked with covalent bonds. Many are soluble in water, more likely to be polar. Attached groupings of atoms that occur commonly in many organic molecules. Many allow cells to transfer and capture energy as high-energy compounds. Organic molecules containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in ratio near 1:2:1. Roughly 1. 5 percent of total body weight. Can to some degree increase glycogen storage. Manufactured in body and obtained from food; distributed in body fluids. All must be broken down to monosaccharides before absorption. Glycogen is in animal cells; other starches and cellulose are within or around plant cells. Isomers - molecules with the same molecular formula but different structures.
