| Name 4 differences between lipids & Carbohydrates. | Lipids: More energy per gram; more metabolic water produced on oxidation; insoluble; not quickly 'digested'. Carbohydrates: Less energy per gram; produce less metabolic water; highly soluble; easily hydrolysed. |
| Name 4 roles of fats and oils. | 1. Energy store & metabolic water source; 2. Subcutaneous fat as a buoyancy aid & thermal insulation; 3. Water-proofing of hair and feathers; 4. Electrical insulation. |
| How do proteins differ from carbohydrates? | They contain nitrogen (and sometimes sulphur) as well as oxygen, carbon and hydrogen. |
| Name 3 factors that affect the rate of enzyme-catalysed reactions. | pH / Temperature / Substrate Concentration. |
