List the four classes of biological molecules.
What are proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates.
The elements found in carbohydrates.
What are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen?
Other than long term energy storage, what is another function of lipids.
What is insulation, protection and structure?
The elements found in proteins.
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur
The elements of nucleic acids.
What are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus
A classic wizarding series that followed an orphan boy who finds out he has magical powers.
What is Harry Potter?
The monomer for carbohydrates.
What are monosaccharides?
List the elements found in lipids.
Bonus: 100 if you can identify how many bonds one of the elements can make.
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
The monomer for proteins.
What are amino acids?
The monomer of a nucleic acid.
What is a nucleotide? Bonus 100 if you can draw one on your board.
List the 6 elements found in all life.
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur. (CHNOPS)
The function of carbohydrates.
What is short term energy storage?
What types of foods would you find lipids in?
What are oils, butters ect.
Proteins have a ton of functions in the body. Name at least 2.
Enzymes, Hormones, Structure, Cell Transport, Antibodies, Movement (Ex. Contractile proteins) Receptors (aid in cell signaling), Energy source last resort
List two examples of nucleic acids.
What are DNA and RNA?
In order to bind monomers together into polymers, water is removed. This is known as what.
What is dehydration synthesis?
Give one example of a monosaccharide.
Glucose, fructose, galactose
The phospholipid bilayer makes up what in our cells.
What is the plasma membrane (I would also except cell membrane here)?
Proteins are found primarily in these food products while also some of them are made in the body.
meats, nuts, and dairy.
The amount of energy stored in DNA so if we need we can break down as a last resort.
0 calories/gram, we never break down our DNA for energy.
The process that uses water to break polymers apart is called this.
What is hydrolysis?
The indicator solution we used during the murder in a meal lab to test for simple sugars: bonus 100 if you can also identify the test for complex sugars.
What is benedict's qualitative solution? What is Iodine?
The test that we used in the murder in a meal lab for identifying lipids.
What is the paper test?
Challenge: Proteins are unique from the other molecules because after they are made they usually go through a folding process. How many levels of folding are there? Bonus 100 if you can list all of them.
4, primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary
(Hopefully you did your cell organelle notes this week) DNA is found where in the cell.
The nucleus!
