Glycogen

storage form of glucose in animal

Polysaccharides

Starch, glycogen and cellulose can be collectively called

Sucrose

not a reducing sugar

Denatured

The state of enzymes if provided too much heat

heat capacity

It has a high specific ________, which means that a lot of energy is required to raise the temperature of water by 1°C.

Proteins

made of one or more polypeptide chains twisted, folded and coiled into a unique 3- dimensional structure.

glucose molecules

The linkage between the ________ is not the same as that in starch.

Iodine

Test for starch

Water

Main component of sweat, which removes heat from the body when it evaporates.

Disaccharides

Compound formed when two monosaccharides undergo a condensation reaction.

Benedicts

The test for reducing sugars is known as the ________ test.

Benedicts solution

Test for reducing sugars

Antibodies

proteins in our body that help us fight diseases

ethanol emulsion

The test for fats is known as the ________ test.

fatty acid

Each ________ is linked to the glycerol backbone in a condensation reaction.

biuret test

The test for proteins is known as the ________.

Ethanol emulsion

Test for presence of fats

Proteins

complex organic molecules made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.

Amino acids

________ link up in a condensation reaction to form a polypeptide chain.

Cellulose

the tough material found in cell walls of plants.

amino acids

There are about 20 different naturally- occurring ________ which have different side chains (also known as R groups)

Monosaccharides

the most basic unit of carbohydrates and are the simplest form of sugars.

Fats

used as insulating material to prevent the loss of body heat.

Peptide bonds

bonds between the amino acids

biuret test

Test for proteins

condensation reaction

a chemical reaction when two molecules combine together to form a single molecule with the elimination of a water molecule.
