Carbohydrates and fats GapFill

 MonomersEnzymesUnimersUnits are small molecules which join together to form polymers in  condensationhydrolysismerginggluconeogenesis reactions, and can be separated by  condensationliquidationhydrolysisdissolution under the action of water.

There is a range of different carbohydrates used in nature, but all contain the elements  carbon, oxygen and sulfurcarbon, hydrogen and nitrogencarbon, hydrogen and oxygencarbon, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur, and many are based on the hexose monosaccharide  maltoselactosefructoseglucose, which comes in both an alpha form and a beta form. When two of these molecules form  a glycosidican estera sucrosica glycogenic bond, the disaccharide maltose is formed. Alternatively, sucrose is formed when  fructose and lactoseglucose and fructoseglucose and galactoseglucose and lactose join. An example of a longer carbohydrate, called a polysaccharide, is  starchglycogensaccharoseamylopectin, which is used as a storage molecule in animals because it is highly branched and insoluble.

Triglycerides consist of a  starchglycerolcelluloseglycine molecule bonded to three fatty acids by ester bonds.  PhospholipidsAlkanesDiglyceridesAlkenes are similar structures, but one of the fatty acids is replaced by a phosphate group, which means they are polar molecules. They form a  droplethelixbilayersuspension in cell membranes, with the fatty acids facing away from the water as they are hydrophobic.

Water is a very important molecule in life. Besides being a good transport medium and a metabolite in many reactions, water has the following important properties:
