Biomolecule Monomer
The monomer of carbohydrates
monosaccarides (or glucose)
Name the 3 elements found in ALL biomolecules
C, H, O
or
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
This biomolecule is a source of quick energy
carbohydrates
This process joins monomers together to build a larger molecule.
dehydration synthesis
identify the four levels of organization...starting with the basic unit of life
cell, tissue, organ, organism
The TWO monomers of lipids
Fatty Acid and Glycerol
Identify the element found in proteins and nucleic acids
The source of long term energy. Also good for insulation.
During dehydration synthesis, these two elements are removed from monomers and combine to form water
oxygen and hydrogen
These are signals or changes that trigger a response in an organism.
Examples include light and sound
stimuli
The monomer of nucleic acids
Nucelotide
Hydrolysis is the process in which polymers are broken down into smaller units. Identify the reactant required for a hydrolysis reaction.
Water
This biomolecule stores the genetic code in the nucleus
nucleic acid
Iodine is used as an indicator for starch. What color does a sample change if it is positive for starch
black
Your body works to keep its internal temperature near 98.7°F even when the temperature of your surroundings changes. What term describes the maintenance of a stable internal environment?
homeostasis
The monomers of proteins
Amino Acid
the process that produces large polymers by removing an -H and an -OH from monomers
dehydration synthesis
This biomolecule is necessary for muscle development
proteins
This process adds water to break a polymer into smaller molecules.
hydrolysis
This characteristic of life describes how an organism obtains and uses energy from food.
metabolism
All biomolecules are considered organic. Name the element that defines "organic"
carbon
Name the type of bond that joins monosaccharides together to form carbohydrates.
glycosidic
this polysaccharide functions a energy storage in animals
glycogen
If a food sample turns purple after the Biuret indicator has been added, what biomolecule is present?
protein
a trait that is best suited to an environment; will survive and reproduce
adaptation
