Click above to learn about all types of sugar and starch!
Understandings:
• Monosaccharide monomers are linked together by condensation reactions to form disaccharides and polysaccharide polymers.
Sucrose, lactose and maltose should be included as examples of disaccharides produced by combining monosaccharides.
The structure of starch should include amylose and amylopectin.
• Fatty acids can be saturated, monounsaturated or polyunsaturated. Named examples of fatty acids are not required
• Unsaturated fatty acids can be cis or trans isomers.
• Triglycerides are formed by condensation from three fatty acids and one glycerol.
Applications and skills:
• Application: Structure and function of cellulose and starch in plants and glycogen in humans.
• Application: Scientific evidence for health risks of trans fats and saturated fatty acids.
• Application: Lipids are more suitable for long-term energy storage in humans than carbohydrates.
• Application: Evaluation of evidence and the methods used to obtain the evidence for health claims made about lipids.
• Skill: Use of molecular visualization software to compare cellulose, starch and glycogen.
Skill: Determination of body mass index by calculation or use of a nomogram.
