Chp 4 Nutrients

The text delves into the fundamental roles and characteristics of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in biological systems. Fats serve multiple purposes, including acting as an insulating material, an efficient energy source, and a means to restrict water loss from the skin.

proteins

antibodies formation to combat diseases
used for enzyme & hormone synthesis
essential for protoplasm synthesis
Increasing order of complexity: amino acids -> polypeptides -> proteins

R

COOH

CH

NH2

often

phosphorus

sulphur

nitrogen

hydrogen

oxygen

carbon

Description: add 2cm3 of sodium hydroxide shake mixture add 1% copper sulphate solution, drop by drop shake after drop

Negative result: solution remains blue

Positive result: solution turns violet

means to restrict water loss from skin surface

reduces rate of water evaporation & heat loss

oily secretion by sebaceous glands in skin forms thin layer over surface

constituent of protoplasm
solvent for fat-soluble solution

related hormones

sex hormones

vitamins

insulating material
efficient source & storage of energy
Increasing order of complexity: glycerol + fatty acids -> fats
broken down to

3 fatty acid molecule

1 glycerol

saturated fats: CnH2nO2

basic unit(s)

carbon, hydrogen, oxygen

less O:H than carbohydrates

Description: add 2cm3 of ethanol shake mixture thoroughly add same amount of water

Negative result: remains clear & colourless

Positive result: cloudy white emulsion form

essential for chemical reaction

photosynthesis

hydrolysis

need to control body temperature
key component of transport
solvent for chemical reactions

Carbohydrates

functions
synthesize lubricants
formation of deoxyribonucleic acid
converted to other organic compounds

Description: add a few drops of iodine to a sample

negative result: solution remains brown/yellow

positive result: solution turns blue black

Description: add an equal volume of Benedict's solution shake and then heat in a beaker of hot water

negative result: solution remains blue

positive result: solution turns orange/yellow/brick-red
