What is an amino acid?
These make up proteins.
100
What is a protein?
Proteins are made up of one or more polypeptide chains and the subunits of polypeptide chains are called amino acids.
100
What is a carbohydrate?
Any of the group of organic compounds composed by carbon hydrogen, and oxygen including sugars, starches, and celluloses. ​
100
Can Lipids dissolve in water?
Lipids are usually insoluble in water.
200
Are Polypeptide chains are made from nucleotides joined together?
True
200
What are the building blocks of proteins?
amino acids
200
What is cellular respiration?
Cells extract energy from glucose molecules by breaking them down in a series of reactions.
200
How do Lipids help the axons of the nerve cells?
They act as electrical insulators on the axons of the nerve cells.
300
Name the ten essential amino acids that are needed in a fish's diet?
methionine, arginine, threonine, tryptophan, histidine, isoleucine, lysine, leucine, valine, and phenylalanine.
300
How does protein benefit aquatic organisms?
Proteins account for 50% of dry mass in cells, and are instrumental in almost everything that aquatic organisms do.
300
What is a disaccharide?
Consists of two monosaccharides joined by a glycosidic linkage, a covalent bond formed between two monosaccharides by a dehydrated reaction.
300
How does the body store energy in the body?
Lipids act as a compound that stores energy in the body.
400
What happens when the amino acid balance in a fish diet becomes unbalanced?
If the amino acid balance is not correct, or if there is insufficient energy in the diet, valuable amino acids will be used as an expensive source of energy.
However, if too much energy is provided, the animals will not grow to their maximum potential.
400
What speeds up a chemical reaction?
Enzymatic proteins
400
What happens a reducing sugar in a reaction?
The sugar becomes a carboxylic acid.
400
How does the body regulate its heat?
Lipids play a role in keeping the body temperature stable.
500
What groups are in the structure of amino acids?
amino group, carboxyl group, hydrogen group
500
What is the bond between amino acids called?
a peptide bond.
500
What is an Oligsaccharide?
A carbohydrate comprised of a few saccharides.
500
What has twice as much energy density of protein and carbohydrates?
Lipids are high-energy nutrients that can be utilised to carry twice as much energy proteins and carbohydrates.
