Proteins
These are the building blocks of proteins.
Aminoacids
What are ALL carbohydrates made off?
carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (bonus points for the symbol of each element)
Lipids are commonly known as these in foods.
Fats and oils
The two main types of nucleic acids.
DNA and RNA
What is biochemistry?
Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of living organisms
Proteins that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms are called this.
Enzymes
This simple sugar is the main energy source for cells.
Glucose
This lipid forms most of the cell membrane.
Phospholipid
Nucleic acids are made of repeating units called this.
Nucleotides (bonus points if you can draw the composition of nucleic acids)
These four biomolecules are essential for life.
carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
This bond joins amino acids together in a protein chain.
Peptide bonds. ( for extra points what is the R group).
Name 2 examples of carbohydrates
Glucose, cellulose, dextrose, fructose, sacarles, etc (bonus point if you can draw the molecule)
Lipids are hydrophobic, meaning they do not mix with this.
Water
This nucleic acid contains genetic instructions for life.
DNA
This element is the backbone of all organic molecules.
Carbón
We have different types of proteins, name a type of protein and an example.
Hemoglobin is an example of a transport protein because it carries oxygen.
Lipids are mainly used by organisms for long-term storage of this.
Energy
The sugar found in DNA.
Deoxyribose (bonus points if you can tell the one for RNA)
Molecules that contain carbon and hydrogen are called this.
Organic compunds (bonus points if you can draw the molecule)
Name one factor that can denature a protein.
heat, pH change, or high salt concentration
Name the bond that joins monosaccharides together.
glycosidic bond
We have different types of lipids, name different examples across different types of lipids.
Steroid - cholesterol
Name the nitrogenous base found in RNA instead of thymine.
Uracil (bonus points if you can name all the bases)
Which biomolecule stores genetic information and can be passed to offspring?
Nucleic acid
