Step 1

- This statement is true because carbohydrates have a general formula of (CH2O)n, where n is the number of carbon atoms, while fatty acids have a general formula of CH3(CH2)nCOOH, where n is the number of carbon atoms. Therefore, carbohydrates have a higher ratio Show more…

Transcript

00:01 This video discusses about carbohydrates and lipids.

00:04 Both carbohydrates and lipids are biomolecules that are found in the cell.

00:16 Within the cell, these biomolecules function to provide and store energy.

00:27 Thus, the carbohydrates and lipids are the energy sources that are found in the cell.

00:34 First, carbohydrates and its classification will be discussed.

00:44 Carbohydrates are simple sugars or polymer of simple sugars.

01:02 These simple sugars are referred to as monosaccharide.

01:12 Example of monosaccharides include glucose, fructose and gallicter.

01:27 Of these monosaccharides, glucose acts as the main source of energy in the living cells and is used to synthesize atp or adenosine triphosphate molecules.

01:57 Carbohydrates are further classified as disaccharides.

02:04 Dioxaccharides are the carbohydrates that are formed by joining to monosaccharides.

02:22 The monosaccharides are joined to each other through glycosidic linkages.

02:31 The example of diaccharides includes two pros that is formed by glucose and ductose.

02:47 The second example of diaccharide is lactose that is formed by glucose and galacto.

03:07 The next class of carbohydrates are polysaccharides.

03:14 Polysaccharides are the carbohydrates that are formed by joining several monosaccharide units...
