Mark each of the following statements that are true about carbohydrates: Question 13 options: Carbohydrates are the same thing as sugars. A single glucose molecule is an example of a monomer A single unit of a glucose molecule is referred to as a polysaccharide Carbohydrates store energy in their bonds. Carbohydrates provide structural support for cells in the form of cellulose
Which of the following statements are true about lipids? There may be more than one correct answer so make sure to check all answers that are true. Fats tend to be liquid at room temperature while oils tend to be solid. A saturated fat contains fatty acids that only have single bonds between each carbon in the carbon chain. The presence of multiple double bonds in a fatty acid make it more likely that the overall lipid will be a liquid at room temperature. Phospholipids are able to form a phospholipid bilayer due to the fact that they contain a polar component at the "head" of the molecule, and a long and relatively straight non-polar component at the "tail" of the molecule Fats, lipids, and steroids all have the same general structure involving a glycerol molecule and fatty acids.
Concerning carbohydrates, it is INCORRECT to affirm that: Monosaccharides (simple sugars that contain from 3 to 7 carbon atoms) Disaccharides (simple sugars formed from the combination of two monosaccharides by dehydration synthesis). Polysaccharides (from tens to hundreds of monosaccharides joined by dehydration synthesis). Examples of Polysaccharides are Sucrose (table sugar) = glucose + fructose. Lactose (milk sugar) = glucose + galactose. Maltose = glucose + glucose
Which of the following statements concerning carbohydrates is correct? They can exist in left-handed and right-handed forms, with the left-handed form being dominant in nature. O They are all polyhydroxy aldehydes, polyhydroxyketones, or substances that yield such upon hydrolysis. O They are the most abundant type of biochemical substance in the human body. O They all have a sweet taste and therefore are also called sugars.
From the given statements which of the following statements is false when it comes to carbohydrates?
