Unit 4 AOS 1- Synthesis of starch glycogen & Lipids Quiz (4A)

What type of reaction is primarily involved in the synthesis of starch and glycogen?

• Hydrolysis

• Condensation

• Oxidation

• Reduction

Which monosaccharide is the building block of starch and glycogen?

• Fructose

• Galactose

• Glucose

• Ribose

What is the primary function of amylose in plants?

• Energy storage

• Structural support

• Protein synthesis

• DNA replication

Amylopectin differs from amylose in that amylopectin:

• Is completely linear

• Contains more glucose units

• Has branched chains

• Is found only in animals

Which of the following is NOT a disaccharide?

• Sucrose

• Lactose

• Maltose

• Glycogen

Glycogen is primarily stored in which of the following organs in humans?

• Heart and kidneys

• Liver and muscles

• Brain and lungs

• Stomach and intestines

What type of bond links glucose units in starch and glycogen?

• Peptide bonds

• Glycosidic bonds

• Ester bonds

• Hydrogen bonds

Which process describes the formation of triglycerides?

• Hydrolysis of fatty acids

• Condensation of glycerol and three fatty acids

• Oxidation of monosaccharides

• Reduction of glycerol

Saturated fatty acids differ from unsaturated fatty acids because they:

• Contain double bonds between carbon atoms

• Have a higher melting point

• Are typically liquid at room temperature

• All of the above

Which of the following is true about the structure of glycogen?

• It is a highly branched molecule

• It is a linear molecule

• It contains only one type of glycosidic linkage

• It is primarily composed of fructose units
