  • Galactose + Glucose = Lactose
  • Glucose + Glucose = Maltose
  • Fructose + Galactose = Trehalose

Responda
  • Starch and cellulose are polysaccharides found in plants.
  • Glycogen is the complex carbohydrate found in animals.
  • Cellulose is formed from β-glucose monomers.
  • β-glucose has all its -OH groups on the same side.
  • α-glucose is an isomer of the glucose molecule with the -OH groups on different sides.
  • Starch and glycogen are made up of α-glucose monomers.

Responda
  • Cell recognition
  • Storage of energy
  • Structure
  • Synthesis of proteins

Questão 11

Questão
Lipids (fats, steroids, phospholipids, fat soluble vitamins) are hydrophilic.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 12

Questão
Which of the following statements about functions of lipids are CORRECT?
Responda
  • Lipids provide structure.
  • Lipids like testosterone perform regulatory functions.
  • Lipids store energy.
  • Lipids help resist tension.

Questão 13

Questão
Which statement BEST describes the differences between DNA and RNA?
Responda
  • DNA is a double helix while RNA is a single strand.
  • DNA is made up of four bases, and RNA shares three of these, while having one unique base (uracil in place of thymine).
  • DNA is a double helix with hydrogen groups, and contains the bases thymine, adenine, guanine, and cytosine. RNA is a single strand with -OH groups, and uses uracil in place of thymine.

Questão 14

Questão
Which of these statements about proteins is INCORRECT?
Responda
  • Proteins are polymers of amino acids.
  • There are about 100,000 unique proteins
  • One gene can code for several proteins
  • Proteins are mainly for structural support.

Questão 15

Questão
Which of these are functions of proteins?
Responda
  • Proteins provide structure e.g collagen to resist tension.
  • Proteins are regulatory and maintain homeostasis e.g. insulin in the plasma membrane.
  • Proteins are contractile e.g. actin and myosin in muscle fibers.
  • Proteins can transport things e.g. haemoglobin moving oxygen via the cardiovascular system.
  • Proteins can store materials e.g egg white - albumin
  • Some proteins are highly acidic and act to break down cells in their regulated death cycle.
  • Some proteins are immune proteins which protect the system e.g. antibodies like IgG
