Biological molecules 1st year biology short question
Q :4 enlist bioelements that make 98% of living system. These are the following elements that make 98% of our living system Oxygen 65% Carbon 18% Hydrogen 10% Nitrogen 3% Calcium 1.5% sulfur 0.25% Phosphorus 1% Q 5: Why fats produce more energy than carbohydrates? Because there are so many carbons in three fatty acids, and each 2-carbon unit can enter the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), one fatty acid molecule can generate much more ATP than one molecule of glucose Q7: distinguish between saturated and unsaturated acyl glycerol Unsaturated acyl glycerol (oils) Unsaturated acyl glycerol are derived from plants They are liquid at room temperature They contain one or more double bonds between carbon carbon atoms in their chain Saturated acyl glycerol Saturated acyl glycerol are derived from animal source They are solid at room temperature They contain single bond between carbon atoms in their long chain
