Carbohydrates
The monomer of carbohydrates
A type of lipid (there's 3!)
Triglyceride, phospholipid, steroid/wax
The monomer of proteins
Amino acid
The monomer of nucleic acids
Nucleotide
The general mechanism that breaks down polymers into monomers
Hydrolysis
The bond that links monosaccharides into di/polysaccharides
Glycosidic bond
The number of ester linkages in a triglyceride (1 Glycerol + 3 Fatty acids)
3
The bond that links amino acids into polypeptides
Peptide bond
The bond that links nucleotides
Hydrogen bond
This molecule is needed to make and break bonds
H2O
An example of a disaccharide (there's 3!)
Sucrose, Maltose, Lactose
This lipid is liquid at room temperature, plant-based, and has ≥1 double bonds between carbons
Unsaturated fatty acid
The levels of protein's 3D structure
Primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary
A difference between DNA and RNA (there's 2!)
DNA is double-stranded, while RNA is single-stranded, RNA has uracil rather than thymine
This macromolecule has genetic information that is heritable
Nucleic acids
A function of polysaccharides (there's 2!)
Energy storage, structural
A function of proteins (there's many!)
Defense, storage, transport, cell communication, movement, structural support
!!!DAILY DOUBLE!!!
On the whiteboard, write the complementary base pairs of this DNA sequence:
5' - A G T C C A - 3'
3' - T C A G G T- 5'
An element that living things are mostly comprised of (there's 3!)
Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen
This polysaccharide is stored as extra glucose in the human body
Glycogen
On the whiteboard, can you draw a phospholipid and label its hydrophobic/hydrophilic regions?
Yay!
This is a way that causes proteins to denature (there's 3!)
On the whiteboard, write the mRNA sequence based on this DNA sequence:
5' - A A T C G A - 3'
3' - U U A G C U - 5'
On the whiteboard, can you draw an atom and label it's subatomic particles?
Yay!
