Question
Answer
What is the energy in food measured in?   small "c" calories  
🗑
How many calories are in a Calorie?   1,000  
🗑
How many calories does it take to raise 1 gram of water, 1 degree Celsius?   1 calorie  
🗑
What do most Calories in our food come from?   Fat and Carbohydrates  
🗑
What is another name for Carbohydrates?   Sugars  
🗑
Describe a Monosaccharide   1 carbohydrate. (single-unit sugar)  
🗑
Describe a Disaccharide   2 monosaccharides (carbohydrates) linked together by dehydration reaction  
🗑
Describe a Polysaccharide   More than 3 carbohydrates (polymers of monosaccharides) linked together by dehydration reaction  
🗑
What does Monomer mean?   one part  
🗑
What does Polymer mean?   many parts  
🗑
What are 2 examples of monosaccharides?   glucose and fructose  
🗑
what are 2 examples of disaccharides?   lactose and sucrose  
🗑
what are 4 examples of polysaccharides?   starch, glycogen, chitin and cellulose  
🗑
What are the main fuel for cellular work?   Monosaccharides  
🗑
What is the process of making ATP?   cellular respiration  
🗑
What is the organelle that makes ATP through cellular respiration?   the Mitochondria  
🗑
What is the equation for cellular respiration?   C6H12O6 + O2 --> H2O + CO2 + ATP = Cellular Respiration  
🗑
What are the two main types of energy?   Potential energy and Kinetic energy  
🗑
What is Kinetic energy?   The energy of motion. ex: Heat  
🗑
What is potential energy?   Stored energy. ex: chemical reactions  
🗑
What does ATP stand for?   Adenosine Triphosphate  
🗑
What is the purpose of ATP?   to do cellular work  
🗑
What is a Macromolecule?   "gigantic" molecules (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids)  
🗑
Describe Dehydration Reaction   The loss of H2O when two molecules join  
🗑
What do cells do to link monomers together to make polymers?   Dehydration Reaction  
🗑
What does hydrolysis mean?   "to break with water" Cells break bonds between monomers by adding water to them. (this is to break down polymers (think of digestion)) It is the opposite of dehydration reaction  
🗑
What is a hydroxyl?   1 Oxygen atom and 1 Hydrogen atom

🗑
What is specific heat?   the heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by a given amount (usually 1 degree)  
🗑
functions of monosaccharides   main fuel molecules for cellular work  
🗑
functions of disaccharides   sugars that we consume for QUICK ENERGY (breaks down into monosaccharides by hydrolysis)  
🗑
functions of polysaccharides   storage molecules and structural compounds  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
