DATE: ________________ SCORE: ______________

I. Directions: Analyze the following concepts.

Write A if both statements state facts.
Write B if the first statement states fact.
Write C if the second statement states fact.
Write D if both statements are incorrect.

_______1. I. Carbohydrates are originally called hydrocarbons.

II. Carbohydrates are also called polyhydroxyaldehydes and polyhydroxyketones. C

_______ 2. I. Glucose serves as an energy source for the brain and for the cells throughout the
body.
II. Glucose is found in the bloodstream as “blood sugar.”

_______ 3. I. When the -OH of the glucose on carbon 1 (C1) in its original form is directed
downward, the structure takes the alpha-form
II.The link between C1 of glucose and C2 of fructose is called α-1, 2 linkage.

_______ 4. I. The link between C1 of galactose and C4 of glucose is called β-1, 4 linkage.
II. Disaccharides can undergo acid hydrolysis.

_______ 5. I. Amylose is a large linear molecule with glucose units connected via the linkages
between C1 and C4
II. Amylopectin has glucose units connected via the linkages between C1 and C6

_______ 6.
A. Saturated fatty acids have single bonds only.
B. Fats and oils are also called triglycerides or triacylglycerols.

_______ 7. I. Amino acids that cannot be synthesized are called essential amino acids.
II. The bond that results from the reaction and that joins the two amino acids is called a
peptide bond.

_______ 8. I. Like proteins, nucleic acids are composed of monomers called nucleotides.
II. The nitrogen-containing bases found in DNA and RNA are categorized as
pyrimidines and purines.

_______ 9. I. Fatty acids are long-chain carboxylic acids that can be saturated or unsaturated.
II. Animal fats have more saturated fatty acids, whereas vegetable oils have greater
concentration of unsaturated fatty acids.

_______ 10. I. Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides.

II. Nucleotides consist of a phosphoric acid molecule, a five-carbon sugar, and a
nitrogen-containing base group.

II. Directions. Analyze the following situations and answer accordingly.

A. What is trans-fat and how does it affect our body? (11-12)
B. How can a polar bear withstand the adverse cold temperature of the arctic region?
(13-14)
C. Perform a dehydration synthesis of glycerol and fatty acids(Simply use R for fatty
acids). (15-20)

 D. Draw the oligopeptide for Ala-Phe-Gly-Thr-Asp. You do not need to indicate the
stereochemistry(position) of the sidechains(the Rs). Denote with bracket the peptide
linkage formed between the amino acids. Refer to the table of amino acids provided
at the last page. (21-25)

E. What are the structural differences between a- and b-glucose? These two cyclic
forms of glucose are the building blocks to form two different polymers. Explain. (26-
30)

III. Directions. Briefly explain the following question.

A. Cows can digest cellulose, but humans can’t. Why not? (31-35)

B. Give two examples of carbohydrates in plants and cite their functions. (36-40)

C. What is lactose-intolerance? (41-42)

IV. Directions. Analyze and answer the following questions.

A. Draw the open-chain and cyclic structures of glucose, fructose and galactose. In the
open-chain structure, BOX and NAME the functional groups. (43-48)

B. Draw the structure of the hydrolysis of Lactose, give the full structural name of the
hydrolyzed form and indicate[brace] where the glycosidic bond is. (49-54)

C. Identify each of the following structures. (55-60)
