what is the chemical equation for glucose? C6H12O6
what are disaccharides? 2 sugar units e.g. sucrose
what are polysaccharides? 3 or more sugar units e.g. starch, glycon, cellulose, chitin
what is the structural role of polysaccharides? cellulose builds plant cell walls & chitin builds insect exoskeletons & fungal cell walls (Rhizopus)
what is the metobolic role of polysacchairdes? storage of energy -> starch in plants and glycogen in animals (liver)

what units are in protein amino acids
what links amino acids together peptide bonds = forms peptide chains
what shape do amino acids fold into globular
structural role of protein? collagen which builds skin & myosin which builds muscle (fiborus structure)
metabolic structure of protein? formation of enzymes and hormones.
componnets of fat? CHO = carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen
what are the 2 types of fat? Phospholipid and the basic unit is triglyceride
what does triglyceride have? 1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids
What does phospholipid have? 1 glycerol, 2 fatty acids and 1 phosphate group
what is the structural role of fat? phospholipids build cell walls
what is the metabolic role of fat? release and stores energy

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
