- Disaccharide name
e.g., lactose, glucose and galactose;1 mark - Both monomers that make up mpa
e.g., maltose, glucose and glucose
e.g., sucrose, glucose and fructose;1 mark
Discuss the roles of the enzymes secreted by the pancreas during digestion.
a. Amylase breaks down/catalyzes/hydrolyses starch to maltose
b. Lipase breaks down/catalyzes/hydrolyses fats to fatty acids and glycerol
c. Proteases/peptidases break down/catalyze/hydrolyze proteins into smaller polypeptides/dipeptides/amino acids
Compare and contrast cis-fatty acids and trans-fatty acids.
-
Both are unsaturated fatty acids
OR
Both have two carbon atoms joined by a double bond;1 mark -
In cis-fatty acids, the two H atoms are on the same side, while in trans-fatty acids, they are on opposite sides
OR
Cis-fatty acids are healthier than trans-fatty acids
OR
Cis-fatty acids have a lower boiling/melting point than trans
OR
Cis-fatty acids have a kink «in the chain» but trans do not;1 mark
