Answer
Deoxysugars
Amino sugars

Any of these
Question 7
Question
Which of this is not true?
Answer
Sucrose does not have a reducing power and it is a oligosaccharide.
Polysaccharides are chains of 10 or more monosaccharides.
Starch and chitin are constituted only by alfa-Glucose that is linked by alfa (1-4) bonds.
Starch have a lot of non-reducing ends it its ramifications and only one reducing end.
Starch is only present in vegetables and if amylose and amylopectin is present they associate together forming helicoidal structures.
Question 8
Question
Which of these carbohydrates has more ramifications and how many?
Answer
Starch and has a ramification per 8-12 residues.
Glycogen and has a ramification per 8-12 residues.
Glycogen and has a ramification per 24-30 residues.
Starch and has a ramification per 24-30 residues.
Any of these
Question 9
Question
Which of these is responsible of fever?
Answer
Heterosides
Peptidoglycans
Proteoglycans
Glycoproteins
Lipopolysaccharides
Question 10
Question
Which of these is not true?
Answer
Glut 1 is important because it is the transporter that is present in red blood cells and in the brain
Glut 2 is present in the liver
Glut 3 is present in the brain
Glut 4 is the glucose transporter that is present in muscle and adipose tissue and it is sensible to insulin
In the intestine the amylase of the pancreatic fluid will break beta (1-4) bonds of carbohydrates
