Carbs
Quick energy
What is the main use of carbs in the body?
Slow release of energy
What is the energy use of lipids in the body?
This is the number of amino acids that exist.
What is 20 different amino acids?
These are two example of nucleic acids.
What are DNA and RNA?
(tRNA, mRNA, iRNA)
This is Mrs. Voorhees's husband's profession.
What is a Newton Police Officer? (No, his last name is not Voorhees.) (Neither is mine.)
The monomer of a carbohydrate
What is a sugar (monosaccharide)?
Another reason the body needs lipids.
What is building cells, brain function, or digesting vitamins?
This would cause a protein to BECOME denatured.
What is a change in temperature or pH?
These are the base-pairing rules of DNA.
This is the kind of teacher Mr. Davis was before joining the admin team.
This hormone is released in response to, and in proportion to, the sugars that enter your bloodstream.
What is insulin?
This is how a lipid is built. (describe the structure)
What is a glycerol head with 1-3 fatty acid tails?
These are three uses of proteins in the body.
What are enzymes (cellular or digestive reactions), structural components (muscles), cellular transport, hormones, or immune function (antibodies)?
Other answers are fine as long as there are 3 and you are correct. Two uses of an enzyme do NOT count as two answers.
This is why all food has some amount of nucleic acids.
Why is all food made from cells, which all contain nucleic acids?
This is when people from North Carolina became known as "tar heels".
What is the civil war (1860s)? They earned this nickname because soldiers from NC were known to stand their ground no matter the circumstances.
Because that is why they provide a more steady energy release than more simple carbs. (Hint: Why is it important...)
Why is it important that complex carbs take longer to break down into individual sugars?
OR
Why is it important that complex carbs have more monomers put together, which take longer to separate?
About double that of glucose.
How much energy is released in the digestion of a lipid?
From EOC: Enzyme X is needed for a reaction to occur in a cell in a timely manner. This is the most likely result when enzyme X is added.
This is the central dogma of biology.
What is the process of DNA --> RNA --> Protein generally called?
Archduke Franz Ferdinand
Who was shot in the event that started WWI?
The name of an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates in the mouth and stomach.
What is an amylase, maltase, lactase, or sucrase?
This allows a lipid bilayer membrane to keep water in and out. (Why is it important that.....?)
Why is it important that the glycerol head is hydrophilic and the fatty acid tails are hydrophobic?
These are the three components of an amino acid. (Three "groups")
What are the amino group, carboxyl group, and R group?
This is the structure of DNA. (Overall shape, backbone components, and "rungs").
What is a double helix (twisted ladder), made up of a sugar-phosphate backbone and paired nitrogenous bases as the "rungs"?
The type of doctor Mrs. Voorhees was studying to become before coming to hate the modern medical system.
What is an anesthesiologist?
