Lipids release large amounts of energy when broken down. 12.. You look at the label on a container of shortening and see “hydrogenated vegetable oil.” This means that during processing the number of carbon–carbon double bonds in the oil was decreased. What is the result of decreasing the number of double bonds? a. The oil now has a lower melting point. b. The oil is now a solid at room temperature. c. There are more “kinks” in the fatty acid chains. d. The oil is now a derivative carbohydrate. e. The fatty acid is now a triglyceride. 13. The portion of a phospholipid that contains the phosphorous group has one or more electric charges. That makes this region of the molecule a. hydrophobic. b. hydrophilic. c. nonpolar. d. unsaturated. e. saturated. 14. Molecule X is soluble in ether, an organic solvent, but it is not very soluble in water. Based on this information, what class of biological macromolecules does molecule X belong to? a. Nucleic acids b. Carbohydrates c. Proteins d. Enzymes e. Lipids 15. In a biological membrane, the phospholipids are arranged with the fatty acid chains facing the interior of the membrane. As a result, the interior of the membrane is: a. hydrophobic. b. hydrophilic. c. charged. d. polar. e. filled with water. 16. The monomers that make up polymeric carbohydrates like starch are called: a. nucleotides. b. trisaccharides. c. monosaccharides. d. nucleosides. e. fatty…

Dehydration-synthesis is a reaction that occurs to form different types of macromolecules. It is a reaction that leaves a macromolecule structure along the lines of developing its own specific function in a living organism. The 4 most common ones are carbohydrates which includes monosaccharides and polysaccharides, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids (Mack 2012). Scientists identify different types of macromolecules to achieve a better understanding on how they function in our bodies. This can be achieved by studying their chemical properties and structure.…

All the four macromolecules=lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids= are essential for the functioning of an organism 's body (Campbell, biology). They work hand in hand to help us survive. For example, Lipids are an immediate energy source. ATP, for example, is used by the body when in energy deficit. Proteins are needed to form muscles and bones. Carbohydrates are the main energy source for the body. Without this energy, we would not be able to…
Carbohydrates, proteins and lipids are known as macronutrients as the body needs masses of these nutrient components in order to carry out the bodies’ essential functions.…
Understanding the macromolecules in our bodies that are essential to our lives is what makes up molecular biology. One of the many things to understand about the macromolecules in our bodies is to first know about how they interact and types of interactions that are involved with each other, especially down to an atomic level. These interactions are included within types of covalent and non-covalent bonding.…
