Carbohydrates (sugars, starches, cellulose)
- Made from joining H2O and CO2 by plants during photosynthesis (we will discuss this on February 12)
- Monomer: Simple sugars: CH2O (ratio of one carbon and one oxygen to every 2 hydrogens)
- Bread, cereal, potatoes, fruits, vegetables, and pasta = are made mostly of carbohydrates (sugars and starches).
- Three main functions: energy for cells, structural support, cell-cell communication
Lipids - Fats, oils, phospholipids, and steroids -All are hydrophobic (water-hating)! 3 main types:
1. Triacylglycerols (fats and oils)
- Structure: Made from 1 glycerol + 3 fatty acid tails = tri-acylglycerol
- Example: Fats: Butter, lard Oils: Corn oil, olive oil, margerine
- Note: Vary in length and location of double bonds in tail
What else can I help you with?
How does the absorption of lipids differ from absorption of carbohydrates and proteins?
Lipids do not dissolve as easily as carbohydrates and proteins. Carbohydrates and proteins are readily absorbed by the digestive system and provide the top sources of energy. The lipids tend to clog up the blood and should be avoided.
How do you lipids differ from carbohydrates?
lol odysseyWare questions.. haha i dont know either :) sorry

How do the four major organic compounds differ?
They differ in some of the elements from which they are made and are:- 1 Carbohydrates 2. Lipids 3. proteins 4. Nucleic Acids
What do proteins have that carbohydrates and lipids don't?
They have Nitrogen in them But some carbohydrates and lipids have N
What are the four macromolecules of life?
The four major macromolecules are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
What elements is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids?
Nitrogen is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids
What element is found in proteins but not in in carbohydrates and lipids?
Nitrogen is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids
What elements is found in protein but not in carbohydrates and lipids?
Nitrogen is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids
How does the structure of proteins differ from the structure of carbohydrates?
Proteins, carbohydrates and fats (lipids) all have the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in them. However, on top of that, protein ALSO has nitrogen in it, and this is how it differs.
What monosaccharides are in lipids?
Monosccharides are not in lipids. They are in carbohydrates.
How do proteins differ from fats (lipids) in their chemical composition?
Proteins, carbohydrates and fats (lipids) all have the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in them. However, on top of that, protein ALSO has nitrogen in it, and this is how it differs.
