2. Name
and
draw
three
disaccharides.
Maltose,
lactose,
sucrose
3. Name
three
polysaccharides
and
draw
one
(must
include
6
units)
Starch,
glycogen,
cellulose
Name ______________________________ Section _____________
4. Which
monosaccharide
is
carried
by
the
blood
to
transport
energy
to
cells
throughout
the
body?
glucose
5. What
disaccharide
provides
energy
to
young
mammals
before
they
are
weaned?
lactose
6. Of
what
value
is
cellulose
to
plants?
Makes
them
have
structure
and
support
J
7. Investigate:
where
in
animals
would
one
find
energy
stored
as
glycogen?
Stores
glucose
in
liver
and
muscles
8. What
are
triglycerides
composed
of?
trigylcerides
are
made
of
3
fatty
acid
chains
and
a
glycerol
head
9. Write
the
general
formula
for
a
fatty
acid
chain
in
a
condensed
form.
CH3(CH2)nCOOH
10. What
is
the
difference
between
a
saturated
and
unsaturated
fatty
acid?
Please
draw
an
example
of
each
molecule.
Saturated
fatty
acids
have
single
bonds
between
each
carbon
atom
and
they
are
completely
filled
with
hydrogen
atoms.
Unsaturated
fatty
acids
have
double
bonds
between
certain
carbon
atoms
and
that
makes
kinks
in
the
molecule
and
reduces
the
number
of
hydrogen
atoms
the
molecule
has.

11. What
is
the
difference
between
a
cis
and
trans
unsaturated
fatty
acid?
Include
a
diagram
showing
each
fatty
acid
in
a
5-‐carbon
chain.
Cis
unsaturated
fatty
acids
have
a
double
bond
and
the
remaining
hydrogen
on
each
carbon
are
on
the
same
side
of
the
molecule’s
structure.
Trans
unsaturated
fatty
acids
have
a
double
bond
and
the
remaining
hydrogen
on
each
carbon
is
on
opposite
sides
of
the
molecules
structure.
12. Explain
why
lipids
and/or
carbohydrates
are
soluble
in
water
Lipids
are
not
soluble
in
water.
They
are
not
polar
in
any
part
of
the
molecule.
Carbohydrates
are
polar
and
are
soluble
in
water
because
water
is
a
polar
molecule.
13. How
many
condensation
reactions
are
required
to
make
a
triglyceride?
3
14. Draw
a
glycerol
molecule
and
three
fatty
acid
molecules
not
bonded.
Then
draw
a
triglyceride
molecule.

15. Define
BMI.
BMI
is
an
abbreviation
for
body
mass
index.
The
equation
is
defined
as
kg
m-‐2.
It
is
used
to
assess
whether
a
person’s
body
mass
is
at
a
healthy
level,
or
Is
too
high
or
too
low.
BMI
Status
Below
18.5
Underweight
18.5
–
24.9
Normal
weight
25.0
–
29.9
Overweight
30.0
or
more
Obese
16. Explain
why
lipids
are
more
suitable
for
long-‐term
energy
storage
in
humans
than
carbohydrates.
Lipids
release
double
the
amount
ofenergy
per
gram
than
from
carbohydrates.
Therefore,
the
same
amount
of
energy
stored
as
lipids
weighs
half
that
much
to
body
mass.
Each
gram
of
glycogen
is
associated
with
two
grams
of
water
while
lipids
do
not,
therefore
lipids
are
six
times
more
efficient
in
the
amount
of
energy
that
can
be
stored
per
gram
of
body
mass.
This
is
important
for
animals
that
need
to
fly
(birds
or
bats).
