Macromolecule Basics
the 4 macromolecules are...
What are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acid?
The monomer of carbohydrates
What are monosaccharides?
The elements that make up carbohydrates
Carbon Hydrogen and Oxygen - CHO
Where on an enzyme does the substrate bind to?
The active site
Example of unsaturated fat.
What is oil (olive oil, avacado oil, etc).
What are carbohydrates
The monomer of proteins
What is amino acids?
The elements that makes up lipids
What is Carbon Hydrogen and Oxygen - CHO
The specific (often smaller) molecule that an enzyme acts on.
What is the substrate?
The process where polymers are broken by adding water
What is hydrolysis
This macromolecule includes DNA and RNA.
What are nucleic acids?
The monomer of nucleic acids
What are nucleotides?
The elements that make up proteins
Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen and Sulfur - CHONS
An organic catalyst made of protein.
What is an enzyme?
The process where polymers are build by REMOVING water
What is dehydration synthesis
This element can form 4 covalent bonds
What is carbon?
The 2 monomers of lipids
What are glycerol and fatty acids
The elements that make up nucleic acids
Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen and Phosphorus - CHONP
-ase
What carbohydrate do humans need as a source of energy?
Glucose
This macromolecule includes muscle, hair, and enzymes.
What are proteins?
The type fo bond that links amino acids
What is a peptide bond?
Enzymes are made of which macromolecule?
an enzyme loses its shape becuase of high temperature or extreme pH.
What is denature?
How do animals store energy?
Glycogen
