Term
Organic Compounds
Definition
compounds containing carbon that are typically found in living systems. range from simple to colossal.
Term
Inorganic compounds
Definition
Considered to be of a mineral origin.
Term
Amino Acids
Definition
organic molecules possessing both carboxyl and amino groups
Term
glucose
Definition
a monosaccharide sugar, C6H12O6, occurring widely in most plant and animal tissue. principal circulating sugar in the blood and the major energy source of the body
Term
ribose
Definition
a pentose sugar, C5H10O5, occurring as a component of riboflavin, nucleotides, and nucleic acids
Term
fatty acids
Definition
has a long carbon skeleton, usually 16 or 18 carbon atoms in length. One end of it has a carboxyl group
Term
3 examples of monosaccharides
Definition
glucose(C6H12O6), fructose (C6H12O6), ribose(C5H10O5)
Term
3 examples of Disaccharides
Definition
sucrose (C12H22O11), lactose (C12H22O11), maltose (C12H22O11*H2O)
Term
3 examples of Polysaccharides
Definition
starch, glycogen, chitin
Term
lactose
Definition
upon hydrolysis yields glucose and galactose
Term
glycogen
Definition
main form of carbohydrate storage in animals and occurs primarily in the liver and muscle tissue. readily converted to glucose as needed by the body to satisfy its energy needs
Term
fructose
Definition
an intravenous nutrient
Term
sucrose
Definition
forming the greater part of maple sugar
Term
cellulose
Definition
major component of the tough walls that enclose plant cells
Term
condensation and hydrolysis between monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides
Definition
add or subtract monomers
Term
condensation and hydrolysis between fatty acids, glycerol, and triglycerides
Definition
add or subtract fatty acids
Term
condensation and hydrolysis between amino acids and polypeptides
Definition
hydrolysis subtracts amino acids and condensation adds amino acids
Term
functions of lipids
Definition
energy storage, mobilization, and utilization; protection of organs; insulation
Term
comparison of the use carbohydrates and lipids in energy storage
Definition
both store energy gained by the use of smaller cells
