BIOL 1F90 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Chemical Formula, Maltose, Galactose
Document Summary
Biological molecule composed of c h o used for short term energy. 3. glucose stored in animals cellulose physical support in plants. Isomers same molecular formula but different structure treated differently in the body. Containing more than two monosaccharaides starch glucose stored in plants glycogen cell wall. Lipids energy store energy in hydrocarbon chains water proofing not humans not true polymers. Biological molecule composed of c h o higher ratio of c h carbons less o atoms used for long term. Insulate against heat loss protective cushion around large organs major component of cell membranes. Saturated solid @ room temperature single bonds room temperature double bonds to unsaturated fat to produce. Unsaturated liquid @ two fatty acids risk of heart disease reduces risk of heart disease. Process of adding hydrogen bonds saturated fats break double bonds phosphate group. 3. accumulates inside blood vessels leading to stroke heart disease. Regulates sexual functions and aids in muscle fat storage.
