Biology Final Review Summary

Okay, I asked my AI to grade my bio final, and it roasted me hard.

First, carbs: monosaccharides like glucose give quick energy, disaccharides like

sucrose are two sugars joined by dehydration synthesis, and polysaccharides like starch,

glycogen, cellulose, and chitin store energy or provide structure.

Benedict’s solution detects reducing sugars, turning red if positive; iodine detects starch,

turning blue-black. Lipids: fatty acids are long chains, while steroids have four fused rings.

Saturated fats have no double bonds and are solid; unsaturated fats have bends due to double bonds

and are liquid. Cis = natural bend, trans = unhealthy straight. Triglycerides store
