Amylopectin and starch are essentially the same. Amylose contains 1000 or more glucose units in an unbranched chain. Common in plants. Usually ligand crosslinked via Ca for strong crosslinking. Liquid fats are oils and most-readily used as an energy source for embryos developing as seedlings and in seeds and fruits.
Cells synthesize fats from sugars.
A fat consist of three fatty acids covalently linked to glycerol. The amphipathic nature of phospholipids allow them to function well as cell membranes. Cells Read Chapter 5 and answer the review questions as discussed during our last Sunday night meeting. Energy, metabolism, and cellular energetics Read chapters 7 and 8, and answer the review questions at the end of the chapter. Read the Meiosis web chapter from the MIT Hyperbiology Textbook.
