29. Where does the name come from? (CH 2 0)n Hydrated Carbons: (CH 2 0)n (CH 2 0)n Carbohydrates have the empirical formula of (CH 2 0)n where n = the # of times the chain is repeated. 1:2:1 The carbons, hydrogens and oxygens are found in the ratio of 1:2:1 and are made up of a repeating chain of sugars. saccarides Sugars are also known as saccarides. ose Carbohydrates usually end in ‘ose’. Can you think of any examples? (CH 2 0) 3 =(CH 2 0) 6 = C3H603C3H603C3H603C3H603 C 6 H 12 0 6

46. 2. Unsaturated fats: monounsaturated double bondspolyunsaturated There are one (monounsaturated) or more double bonds (polyunsaturated). plants Mostly come from plants. liquid They are liquid at room temperature.Healthy olive oil Examples: olive oil, corn oil, palm oil…

49. cell membrane Are used to make up the two layered cell membrane of all cells. third fatty acid replaced by phosphate groupPO 4 3- In phospholipids, the third fatty acid group of a triglyceride is replaced by an inorganic phosphate group (PO 4 3- ).

50. polar end This creates a polar end: phosphatehydrophilic The phosphate end is water soluble (hydrophilic) fatty acidhydrophobic The fatty acid is not water soluble (hydrophobic)

52. A liposome is an artificially-prepared vesicle composed of a lipid bilayer. The liposome can be used as a vehicle for administration of nutrients and pharmaceutical drugs. Liposomes can be prepared by disrupting biological membranes

53. hydrophobic hydrophilic

54. water insoluble Steroids structurally look very different from lipids, but are also water insoluble. 4 Carbon ring They are made up of 4 Carbon ring molecules fused together. testosterone cholesterolD Examples: testosterone, estrogen, cholesterol, and vitamin D. sex hormones Used as sex hormones

56. 1.Long term storage for energy 1.Long term storage for energy (more efficient spacewise than glycogen or starch). 2.Insulation protection 2.Insulation and protection in animals hormones 3.Making some hormones (steroids) cell membranes 4.Structure of cell membranes. Without lipids, we would have no cells.

57. Found in fish and leafy vegetables Other foods are now offering omega-3’s (eggs, cereals, margarine…) Help to reduce cancer Helps with vision Helps us think better

58. Scientific evidence has shown that dietary saturated and trans fats can increase your risk of developing heart disease.
