SCIENCE QW QUIZ

• biomolecules - any molecules that are produced by a living organism, including macromolecules such as proteins, polysacchrides, lipids and nucleic acid
• carbohydrates - most common molecules, primary energy source of our body, these are simple sugar, starch sugar, and cellulose, contain carbohydrates and oxygen, and building blood and monomer
• monosacchrides - "mono" means carbohydrates, simpler (smaller) carbohydrate molecules (simpledt/smallest sugar)
• glucose - blood sugar
• fructose - fruit sugar
• galactose - found in milk with glucose
• glucose - known as blood sugar, dextrose, source of energy by the human
• fructose - also known as blood sugar
• galactose - also known as brain sugar, helps trigger long term memory lost
• starch - is a polymer of glucose. It is found mainly in the seeds, roots and tubes of plants. The chief sources of starch are corn, potatoes, rice, and cassava whose uses are for foods, Used for energy storage in plants, They provide a quick form of energy for the body.
• glycogen - is a main source of energy for the body. Glycogen, it stored in the liver and muscles. When the body needs more energy, certain proteins called enzymes break down glycogen into glucose. They send the glucose out into the body, Glycogen is the body's stored form of glucose, which is sugar
• cellulose - Humans cannot digest cellulose, but it is important in the diet as fibre, • Cellulose is the main substance in the walls of plant cells, helping plants to remain stiff and upright.
• chitin - is the most abundant amino polysaccharide polymer occurring in nature., is the building material that gives strength to the exoskeletons of crustaceans, insects, and the cell walls of fungi.
