Chapter 3 Carbohydrates and Lipids
2
You Must Know The cellular functions of carbohydrates and lipids. How the sequence and subcomponents of carbohydrates and lipids determine their properties. (You are not going to be asked about nucleic acids on the Chapter 3 Test.)
3
Concept 3.3: Carbohydrates serve as fuel and building material Carbohydrates include sugars and the polymers of sugars
4
Monosaccharides – serve as a major fuel for cells and as raw material for building molecules. – have molecular formulas that are usually multiples of CH 2 O – classified by the number of carbons in the carbon skeleton and the placement of the carbonyl group
5
Figure 3.7c 6-carbon sugars (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) Glucose Fructose Carbonyl Aldehyde – because the carbonyl group is at the end of the carbon skeleton. Ketone – because the carbonyl group is within the carbon skeleton.

7
Polysaccharides Polysaccharides, the polymers of sugars, have storage and structural roles The structure and function of a polysaccharide are determined by its sugar monomers and the positions of glycosidic linkages. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Storage Polysaccharides Starch, a storage polysaccharide of plants, consists entirely of glucose monomers Plants store surplus starch as granules The simplest form of starch is amylose © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Starch granules in a potato tuber cell Starch (amylose) Glucose monomer

Glycogen is a storage polysaccharide in animals Humans and other vertebrates store glycogen mainly in liver and muscle cells © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Glycogen granules in muscle tissue

Concept 3.4: Lipids are a diverse group of molecules What do these molecules have in common? © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. fat Steroid phospholipid
15
Fats OH Glycerol Hydroxyl HO Fatty Acid carboxyl triglyceride Ester linkage
16
Fatty acids vary in length (number of carbons) and in the number and locations of double bonds © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
17
(a) Saturated fat Structural formula of a saturated fat molecule Space-filling model of stearic acid, a saturated fatty acid Saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible and no carbon carbon double bonds.
18
(b) Unsaturated fat Structural formula of an unsaturated fat molecule Space-filling model of oleic acid, an unsaturated fatty acid Double bond causes bending. Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more carbon carbon double bonds.
19
The major function of fats is energy storage Fat is a compact way for animals to carry their energy stores with them © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
