  2. What do you remember about last class??? Carbohydrates

  3. True or False Carbohydrates are separated into 3 groups: • Monosaccharides • Disaccharides • Polysaccharides True

  4. True or False Cellulose linkage of glucose molecules has an alternating pattern of the oxygen position. True

  5. True or False Glucose, Starch and Lactose are all Monosaccharides? False

  6. True or False Starch has more branching of glucose molecules then Glycogen. False

  7. True and False Hydrolysis is when you add water to create bonds between monomers. False

  8. Fats and Lipids What are they really??

  9. What do we know about Fats and Lipids?????

  12. Lipids Lipids serve as long-term energy stores in cells, form membranes, and serve as hormones and insulation. Lipids do not dissolve in water. Fats and oils are formed from a glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules.

  13. Structure of Triglycerides

  14. Fatty acids are long chains of hydrocarbons ending in - COOH Fatty acids may be saturated fatty acids Or unsaturatedfatty acids.

  15. Some lipids are phospholipids that form cell membranes.

  16. Other lipids are steroids. Examples include cholesterol, and the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone.
