First Five 10/7
1. Why does water have a
high specific heat?
2. Why is water able to
have cohesion and
adhesion?
3. How does our body
protect against pH
changes?

GQ: How are Carbohydrates
structured?
Buffers
pH is regulated in organisms by a substance called
buffers
- Can bind to a H+ ion when the H+
concentration increases
- Can release a H+ ion when the H+
concentration decreases
Maintains homeostasis
Four main types of carbon-based
molecules are found in living things.

Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
Nucleic Acids
Carbon-based molecules are made of many small
subunits bonded together.
– Monomers are the individual subunits.
– Polymers are made of many monomers.
CARBOHYDRATES
Carbohydrates are nutrients
used for energy and plant
cell walls.
They are made of Carbon,
Hydrogen, Oxygen.
C, H, O
3 Molecular Structures
1. Monomer: one molecule of sugar
Ex: glucose (blood sugar)
fructose (fruit sugar)
glucose
2. Dimer: two molecules of sugar
Ex:
–Sucrose (glucose+fructose)
is white sugar
–Lactose in milk.
glucose
fructose
3. Starches are many sugars
bonded together
Polymer: many molecules of
sugar

First Five 10/8
1. In your own words,
what is the difference
between regular sugar
and a starch?
2. In your own words, how
are sugars and
starches the same?

Carbohydrates
There are 4 Types.
1. Simple Sugars
•
•
•
•
Monosaccharide or Disaccharides
Taste sweet
Made by plants
Used for energy
2. Starches or
Polysaccharides
Rice, potatoes, grains
• Stored energy in
plants
• Taste bland
• Animals eat starchy
plants for energy.
3. Glycogen: Animal starch stored in the
liver for energy.
Glycogen
Human
liver
4. Cellulose
Cotton, wood,
leaves
• plant cell walls
• wood
• Cannot be
digested by
humans
