Document Summary

A modified form of cellulose found in the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans. Alpha helix and beta pleated sheets are examples of the secondary level of. Include a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, an organic nitrogen containing base, and phosphodiester bonds. Fructose and galactose all have the same six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms, just as glucose, but they are named differently because they are alternate forms of the monosaccharide, glucose . Nitrogen and carbon are common to all organic molecules. Gasoline fuel is nonpolar and high in energy because they are largely composed of hydrocarbons. Lipids serve as important energy stores and is a major component of plasma membranes. The functional group -cooh has acidic properties and would release hydrogen ions in an aqueous (water) solution. The peptidoglycan of the bacterial cell wall contains a carbohydrate matrix linked together by short chains of amino acids.
