100

This term refers to large, complex molecules made up of smaller subunits.

What are polymers/macromolecules?

100
List any macromolecule that contains at least the following elements: C H O

What are: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids?

100

This macromolecule provides quick energy and can help build the structure for the cell wall.

What is: carbohydrate?

100

This macromolecule serves as the raw material for other macromolecules.

What are: carbohydrates?

100

Monomers are joined by these to form polymers. (Hint: Its what the rubber band represented).

What are: bonds?

200

These are the basic subunit/building blocks for polymers.

What are: monomers?

200

These are the three basic building blocks for carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids. (Write in order).

What are: monosaccharides, amino acids, and nucleotides?

200

This macromolecule is responsible for many functions such as storage of necessary materials (not energy), and can help build strong nails and hair.

What are: proteins?

200

These are the elements that carbohydrates provide to the other macromolecules.

What are: Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O)? 

200

Enzymes are an example of proteins. Proteins can change shape and break down when at least one of these conditions is changed.

(Any 1) What is: temperature, pH, salinity?

300

A nucleotide is an example of this general name used to describe the basic building block of macromolecule structures.

What is: monomer?

300

This macromolecule is the only one that has Carbon-Phosphorus bonds. 

What are: nucleic acids?

300

Lipids have more energy than carbohydrates and proteins because of this structural differences. (Provide 10-15 words or less stating the difference)

What are: More Bonds = More Energy?

300

While proteins and nucleic acids require the elements C H O, they also require other elements. List out the extra elements proteins and nucleic acids each require in addition to C H O. 

What are: proteins (N, sometimes S), nucleic acids (N, P)?

300

Glycogen and starch are examples of this macromolecule.

What is: carbohydrate?

400

This is the name for the independent variable seen in the diagram below.

What is: temperature?

400

The structure shown is an example of this type of macromolecule. (Do not give the specific name of the example.)

What is: Lipid?

400

This specific substance, an example of a protein, helps break down substances. This results in speeding up chemical reactions.

What is: enzyme?

400

This is how plants obtain the additional elements not obtaind from glucose. (Provide 10-15 words or less)

What is: through the roots? (Think soil lab)

400

Sketch the following diagram and provide a label for each space. For the bottom two boxes, use the term: high energy and low energy. 

(Look at the drawing on the board**)

500

This is an image of two substances. Are these the same macromolecule? (Yes or no)

What is: no?
500

This is the identify of the 3rd macromolecule shown in the picture.

What is: protein?

500

Write the following on your whiteboard: nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates, proteins. Now, place a number 1 - 4 in order of which the body uses first as an energy source. 4 represents the one the body does not use at all.

What is: 1) carbohydrates, 2) lipids, 3) lipids, 4) nucelic acids?

500

This is a diagram for photosynthesis. This letter represents the food molecule created that the plant uses to then convert to ATP.

What is: letter C?

500

Enzymes can break down when temperature, pH, or salinity are changed. When an enzyme breaks down and loses its shape, it loses its function. This term is used to describe what happens to the shape of the enzyme. (It starts with a "D______") 

What is: denature?
