Question: 1
Answer: 1
1-30Vitamins
Organic compounds are essential for health that must be supplies in small amont in diet are called vitamins.
Soluble Vitamins:
The vitamins which dissolve in facts are called fat soluble vitamins.If these vitamins are taken In large quantity, they accumulate in the body and cause diseases. For example, accumulation of vitamin D in the body cause bone pain and bone like deposit in the kidney. However their deficiency also causes diseases .Water soluble vitamins:
The vitamins that dissolve in water are called water soluble vitamins these vitamins are B complex and vitamins C water soluble vitamin are rapidly excreted from the body Hence these vitamins are not toxic even if taken in large quantity However their deficiency cause s diseases. Vitamins B complex are needed for healthy skin good vision a healthy nervous system and the formation of red blood cells. Enrich grain products which grains are good sources of B complex ,The best sources of vitamins C are citrus fruits and red and green sessors.

Answer: 2
2-30Sources of
carbohydrates:
Carbohydrates range from simple to complex ones they have varid sources and uses sources of simple sugars e.g glucose fructose and galactose are fruits vegetables honey and cereals.

Disaccharides are sucrose lactose and maltose, sources is found in sugar beet sugar cane and fruits.
Glucose +fructose___________sucrose
Lactose consisting of glucose and galactose is the main sugar in milk and dairy product.
Glucose+ galactose __________ lactose
Maltose a disaccharides of two glucose molecules in found in cereals.

Polysaccharides:
Polysaccharides are starch and cellulose starch is found in cereal crops wheat barley maize rice etc,cellulose cotton is pure cellulose.
Uses of carbohydrates:
Beside energy providing they also provide the following to our body.
They regulate the amount of sugar level in our body low sugar level in body result in hypoglycemia.
They provide essential nutrients for bacteria in intestinal tract that helps in digestion.
Dietary fiber help to keep the bowel functioning property .

Proteins make up more 50% of the dry weight of animals. each protein has it source and carries out of a specific function sources and uses of proteins are as follows:
Sources of animals proteins are meat, mutton, chicken, fish and eggs. These are used a food by human beings as they are essential for the formation of protoplasm.
Enzymes are proteins:
Enzymes are proteins that are produced by the living cells they catalyze the chemical
Reaction taking place in the bodies. They are highly specific and have extraordinary efficiency.
Many enzymes are used as drugs. They control the bleeding and treat blood cancer.
Hides are proteins:
They are used to make leather by tanning leather is used to make shoes jackets sports,etc.
Proteins in bones:
Proteins are found in bones when bones are heated they give gelatin.gelatin is used to make bakery items.
Plants proteins:
Plants also synthesize proteins such as beans etc these are used as food.
Question: 4
Answer: 4
4-30Lipids:
Lipids are macromolecule made up of fatty acids. Lipids include oils and fats. Oils and fats are esters of long chain carboxylic acids with glycerol ,these esters are made of three fatty acids therefore they are called triglycerides. General formula of triglycerides is as under.
Sources of uses:
Fats are oils are high energy foods, fats and oils are synthesized naturally by animal’s plants and marine organisms.
Animal’s fats:
Animal’s fat is found in adipose tissue cells animals secret milk from which butter and ghee is obtained butter and ghee are used to cooking and frying bakery products and sweets animals fats are used in soap industry.
Plants oil:
plant synthesize oils and store them in seeds such sun flower oil coconut oil, groundnut oil and corn oil. These oil are used as vegetables oils or ghee for cooking and other purposes.
Marine oil:
Marine animals are salmon and whales are also source of oils. These oils are used as medicines e.g cod liver oil.
Question: 5
Answer: 5
5-30Monosaccharides:
Monosaccharides are the simplest sugars which cannot be hrdrolyzed they consist of 3 to 9 carbons atom ,therefore they are classified according to the number of carbon atoms in their molecules or trioses,pentoses hexoses, and so seon .The important monosaccharides are hoxes like glucose and fructose etc.Glucoe is a pentahydroxy ketone having the open chain structures as follows and general formula C6 H12 O6.
CHO CH2OH
H-C-OH C=O
HO-C-H HO-C-H
H-C-OH H-C-OH
H-C-OH H-C-OH
CH2 OH CH2 OH
Glucose fructose
Properties:
Monosaccharides are white crystalline solids.
They are soluble in water and have sweet taste.
They cannot be hrdrolyzed ,they are reducing in nature therefore these are called reducing sugars.
Question: 6
Answer: 6
6-30Oligosaccharides:
Oligosaccharides gives 2 to 9 units of monosaccharides on hydrolysis therefore they are classified as disaccharides ,trisaccharides, tetrasaccharides, etc, depending upon the number of units they produce on hydrolysis.The most important oligoasaccharides are disaccharides like sucrose.On hydrolysis sucrose produces one unit glucose and one unit of fructose.
C12, H22, O11 +H2O C6,H12, O6+ C6,H12,O6
Properties:
These carbohydrates are white crystalline solids.
Easily soluble in water.
They are also sweet In taste they may be reducing or non reducing.
