True or False: The nonessential amino acids can be produced from the other amino acids or from simple organic molecules

True

True or False : Prostaglandins are "tissue hormones"

True

True or False: Enzymes are functional proteins that bring molecules together or split them apart in chemical reactions

True

Carbohydrates contain ________

Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen

Carbohydrates are the primary source of _____- of the body

Energy

Monosaccharides are known as

Simple sugars

Disccharides and polysaccharides are called

A. Monosaccharides


B. Disaccharides.


C. Polysaccharides

Disaccharides. They consist of two monosaccharides linked together through a dehydration synthesis reaction

A. Carbohydrates


b. Lipids.


C. Proteins


D. Nucleic acids and related molecules

True or False


Lipids are water insolulble organic biomolecules. They afe generally nonpolar.

True Lipids are insolulble in water

Lipids major roles in the body are

Used for Energy purposes.


Serve as structural role and functional as integral parts of the cell membranes.

The building blocks of a triglyceride or fat are

Glycerol and Fatty acids

A saturated fatty acid is

A fatty acid in which all available bonds of its hydrocarbon chain are filled




Think Saturated = full

A unsaturated fatty acid has one or more double bonds in its hydrocarbon chain because not all the chains carbon atoms are saturated with hydrogen atoms

think




Saturated = full


so Unsaturated = unfull
