Introduction:
Lipids are organic compounds which have hydrogen and carbon compounds linked by non-polar covalent bonds. Lipids have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. Most lipids are insoluble in water and are referred to being as hydrophobic in nature. Fats have glycerol and fatty acids, and are referred to as triacylglycerol. The fatty acids are classified into saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.

- Account for the origin of the term carbohydratearrow_forwardAn excess of ketone bodies in the blood causes ketoacidosis. Consider the chemical structure of the ketone bodies (only two out of the three ketone bodies cause this effect) and explain why they are acids.arrow_forwardClassify each of the following sugar pairs as enantiomers, diastereomers, epimers, or an aldose–ketose pair. a. D-erythrose and D-threose b. D-glucose and D-mannose c. D-ribose and L-ribose d. D-allose and D-galactose e. D-glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetonearrow_forward

Sucrose, or table sugar, is a disaccharide consisting of both fructose and glucose. Is sucrose a reducing sugar? Explain.arrow_forward
- Draw the structure of the a-keto acid formed by removal of the amino group during the catabolism of cysteine. Note: Reference the Naturally-occurring amino acids table for additional information. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. ☑arrow_forwardThe fructose in honey is mainly in the β-D-pyranose form. This is oneof the sweetest carbohydrates known, about twice as sweet as glucose; the β-D-furanose form of fructose is much less sweet. The sweetness of honey gradually decreases at a high temperature. Also, high-fructose corn syrup (a commercial product in which much of the glucose in corn syrup is converted to fructose) is used for sweetening cold but not hot drinks. What chemical property of fructose could account for both these observations?arrow_forwardWhy does the violet color of the Hubble’s reagent fade away in unsaturated fats/oil?arrow_forward

B This monosaccharide is the D-isomer of ketoheptose. This monosaccharide is galactose. This monosaccharide is the L-isomer of ketoheptose.arrow_forwardWhen natural monounsaturated fats generally undergo the chemical process of partial hydrogenation, their fatty acid chains are converted into the following two forms: trans and saturated. O True Falsearrow_forwardA student performed Benedict’s test on fructose, maltose, lactose, and sucrose to determine if they are reducing or non-reducing sugars. a. Draw out the products of those carbohydrates/sugars that can be oxidized and explain why those sugars are so easily oxidized. Please provide only those sugars that are reducing sugars.arrow_forward
