- 11. Proteins are polymers!! A polymer that consists of a chain of individual amino acids linked together
- 12. Proteins ✦The various functionsin your body are performed by different proteins. ✦Your body makes many of these proteins by assembling 20 amino acids in different ways. ✦Eight of the amino acids that are needed to make proteins cannot be produced by your body. These amino acids, which are called essential amino acids, must come from … ✦the food you eat!! That’s why you need to eat a diet containing protein-rich foods, like…
- 13. Proteins ✦Your body cannotfunction properly without proteins. ✦Proteins in the form of enzymes serve as catalysts and speed up chemical reactions in cells. ✦Some proteins make up the structural materials in ligaments, tendons, muscles, cartilage, hair, and fingernails. ✦Hemoglobin, which carries oxygen through the blood, is a protein polymer, and all body cells contain proteins.

- 18. an organic compound thatcontains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, usually in a ratio of two hydrogen atoms to one
- 19. In the body,carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars that the body can use for energy.
- 21.
- 22.
- 23. Simple sugars are carbohydrates containing five, six, or seven carbon atoms arranged in a ring.
- 24. 3 types ofsugars are glucose, fructose and sucrose.
- 25. These are isomers!Why???
- 26. Glucose is foundin many naturally sweet foods, such as grapes and bananas.
- 27. Fructose is thesweet substance found in ripe fruit and honey. It often is found in corn syrup.
- 28. The sugar youprobably have in your sugar bowl or use in baking a cake is sucrose.
- 29. glucose fructose
- 30.
- 31. Sucrose ✦In the body,sucrose cannot move through cell membranes. ✦It must be broken down into glucose and fructose to enter cells. ✦Inside the cells, these glucose and fructose are broken down further, releasing energy for cell functions.

- 33. polymers of glucose monomersin which hundreds or even thousands of glucose molecules are joined together
- 34. glucose glucose glucoseglucose glucose glucose glucose glu glucose glucose cos e g luco se lucose g glu cos glucose glucose glucose e
- 35. Each sugar moleculereleases energy when it is broken down, starches are sources of large amounts of energy.

- 38. glucose glucose glucose glucose glucose glucose glucose glucose glucose glucose glucose glucose glucose glucose glucose glucose glucose glucose glucose glucose
- 39. makes up thelong, stiff fibers found in the walls of plant cells, like the strands that pull off the celery stalk
- 40. Cellulose ✦Although cellulose isa polymer of glucose, humans can’t use cellulose as a source of energy. ✦The human digestive system can’t convert cellulose into sugars. ✦Grazing animals, such as cows, have special digestive systems that allow them to break down cellulose into sugars.
- 41.
- 42. a polymer thatalso contains chains of glucose units, but the chains are highly branched

- 47. organic compound that containsthe same elements as carbohydrates—carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen but in different proportions
- 48. Lipids are theproducts of glycerol and three long- chain carboxylic acids coming together.
- 49. long carb chai gl ycerol oxy n l gro up
- 50. long chain carboxyl group glycerol
- 51. Lipids ✦Lipids are commonlycalled fats and oils, but they also are found in greases and waxes such as beeswax. ✦Wax is a lipid, but it is harder than fat because of its chemical composition. ✦Bees secrete wax from a gland in the abdomen to form beeswax, which is part of the honeycomb.
- 52. Lipids ✦Lipids store energyin their bonds, just as carbohydrates do, but they are a more concentrated source of energy than carbohydrates. ✦The chemical reaction that produces lipids is endothermic. ✦This means that energy is stored in the chemical bonds of lipids. ✦When your body needs energy, the bonds are broken and energy is released.
- 53. Lipids can also be Saturated and Unsaturated
- 54. ✦Saturated fats aresolids because the straight chain molecules can pack together tightly. ✦They are saturated with hydrogen atoms; they have only single bonds. ✦Bacon and butter contain the saturated fat. ✦All animal fats are saturated fats.
- 55. ✦Unsaturated fats tendto be oils because their bent chains can’t get close together. ✦They are not saturated with hydrogen atoms; they contain a double or triple bonds. The place where the bond occurs is bent. ✦Olive oil and canola oil contain the unsaturated fat. ✦Unsaturated fats come from plants.
- 56.
- 57. a complex lipidthat is present in foods that come from animals, such as meat, butter, eggs, and cheese
- 58. Cholesterol ✦Cholesterol is nota fat. ✦Even if you don’t eat foods containing cholesterol, your body makes its own supply. ✦Your body needs cholesterol for building cell membranes. ✦Cholesterol is not found in plants, so oils derived from plants are free of cholesterol. However, the body can convert fats in these oils to cholesterol.
