T/F: Compared to amylopectin, amylose is branched and contains alpha-1-6 bonds at its branch points. - False. Compared to amylose, amylopectin is branched and contains alpha-1-6 bonds at its branch points. T/F: Compared to amylopectin, an oligosaccharide is longer and contains less prevalent alpha 1-6 bonds. - False. Compared to amylopectin, an oligosaccharide is shorter and contains more prevalent alpha 1-6 bonds. T/F: Compared to amylopectin, glycogen is more branched, and also has a...

What is the definition of metabolic homeostasis? Maintenance of a balance between the intake of carbohydrate, fat, and protein, their rates of use, and their rates of storage when they are present in excess of immediate need What does ghrelin do? stimulates food intake -makes you feel hungry What does leptin do? decreases food intake -when you're full What are the 4 regulators of metabolic homeostasis? insulin, glucagon, cortisol, and epinephrine -cortisol and epinep...

AP Biology - The Chemistry of Life Latest Update Already Passed 4 classes of organic molecules 1. carbohydrates 2. proteins 3. lipids 4. nucleic acids acid substance that increases the molarity of hydrogen ions in a solution, decreasing pH (simultaneously diminishes the molarity of hydroxide ions, because product of the molarities of both is always 10^-14) adhesion the tendency of water molecules to stick to other substances; enables transportation of H2O against gravity in vascular...

Carbohydrate, Lipid, Nucleic Acid, Protein, Enzyme Carbohydrate: Sugars and starches which body breaks down to glucose ● Structural function: cellulose and chitin ● Energy storage: amylose, amylopectin, glycogen ● Recognition molecules: glycoproteins and glycolipids Lipids: Fatty acids and their derivatives that are soluble inwater ● H and C and main components ● Fats ● Hydrophobic- thus help separate aqueous compartments ● Store energy (fats, oils, adipose) Protein: Mole...
