Macromolecule types
They are the macromolecules that store and deliver genetic information.
What are nucleic acids?
They are the monomers of carbohydrates.
It is the linkage for sugar chains.
What is a glycosidic linkage?
It is the basic sugar used to build most carbohydrates in cells.
What is glucose?
It is the type of bond found most in lipids.
What is a nonpolar covalent bond?
They are the macromolecules that form cell membranes and lead to steroid hormones.
What are lipids?
They are the monomers of proteins.
What are amino acids?
It is the linkage for nucleic acids.
What is a phosphodiester bond?
It is the storage sugar in plants.
What is starch?
What is hydrocarbon?
They are the macromolecules that store and provide energy, give structure, and provide cell IDs.
What are carbohydrates?
They are the monomers of nucleic acids.
What are nucleotides?
It is the linkage for proteins.
What is a peptide bond?
It is the storage sugar in animals.
What is glycogen?
It is the name for a fatty acid that contains one or more double bonds.
What is unsaturated?
They are the macromolecules that do almost all of the work of the cell.
What are proteins?
They are two of the basic components of lipids.
What are (name any two): fatty acids, cholesterol, glycerol?
It is the three-carbon sugar that links two or three fatty acids into a single molecule.
What is glycerol?
It is the name for a sugar composed of two monomers joined together.
What is a disaccharide?
It is the basic building block for steroid hormones in the blood.
What is cholesterol?
They are the two types of macromolecules that participate in storing energy.
What are carbohydrates and lipids?
It is the monomer that makes up glycogen.
What is glucose?
It is the kind of complex structure formed when glucose monomers are linked to form chains in more than one way.
What is a branched chain?
This is the function of sugars that are found on the outsides of cells, often bound to membrane proteins.
What is cell signalling?
Between sugars and lipids, they are the ones that store away more energy.
What are lipids?
