Question
Answer
Hydrolysis   use water to break apart -cleave acid & heat (nonspecific) or protease (specific)  
🗑
dehydration   form molecule & release water  
🗑
hydrophobic   hate water  
🗑
hydrophilic   like water  
🗑
eicosanoids   -hormone, thromboxane, eukotrienes functio: regulate blood pressure, body temp, smooth muscle contraction, -transported via lipoprotein (VLDL,LDL,IDL,HDL) ↑ratio of lipid ↓protein density  
🗑
Carbohydrate D vs L   D: hydroxyl group on 5-carbon in Fischer projection points to right L: points to left  
🗑
Carbohydrate Structure   Cn(H2O)n -beta:alcohol UPWARD on anomeric carbon alpha:alcohol DOWNWARD on anomeric carbon anomeric carbon(C-1): C=OH C-5 attacks C=O to form hexagon structure w/CH2OH at C-5 (glucose)  
🗑
Carbohydrate   -store energy but not as much as lipids -form polysaccharides via dehudration and monosaccharides via hydrolysis  
🗑
