topic 2.3: carbohydrates and lipids
Essential Idea:
- Compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are used to supply and store energy.
Carbohydrates.
2.3U1: Monosaccharide monomers are linked together by condensation reactions to form disaccharides and polysaccharide polymers.
2.3A1: Structure and function of cellulose and starch in plants and glycogen in humans.
2.3Skill1: Use of molecular visualization software to compare cellulose, starch, and glycogen.

Lipids.
2.3U2: Fatty acids can be saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated.
2.3U3: Unsaturated fatty acids can be cis or trans isomers.
2.3U4: Triglycerides are formed by condensation from three fatty acids and one glycerol.
2.3A2: Scientific evidence for health risks of trans fats and saturated fatty acids.
2.3A3: Lipids are more suitable for long-term energy stroage in humans than carbohydrates.
2.3A4: Evaluation of evidence and the methods used to obtain the evidence for health claims made about lipids.
2.3Skill2: Determination of body mass index by calculation or use of a nomogram.
