Document Summary

Date: / / : overview of carbohydrates, general functions, structure & support, energy storage & transfer, monosaccharides (sugars, glucose, fructose, galactose, disaccharides, maltose = glucose + glucose, sucrose = glucose + fructose. Starch and cellulose (a) and glucose ring structures (b) starch: 1 4 linkage of glucose monomers (c) cellulose: 1 4 linkage of glucose monomers. 0. 5 m an animal polysaccharide: polysaccharides, storage polysaccharides, glycogen, starch, structural polysaccharides, cellulose, chitin. Proteins: overview of proteins, building blocks, amino acids, functions, 8 main categories, polypeptide arranged in a specific sequence. Example: digestive enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of bonds in food molecules. Example: insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas, causes other tissues to take up glucose, thus regulating blood sugar concentration. Different combinations of 20 amino acids produce thousands of proteins: protein conformations. One or more polypeptide chains folded and coiled into specific. Example: antibodies inactivate and help destroy viruses and bacteria.
