100

Lipids classification

Lipids, oils, and waxes

Phospholipids

Steroids

Biomolecules are usually composed of the following elements: 

C, H, O, N, 

200
Carbohydrates Classification

Monosaccharides, Disaccharides and Polisaccharides

200

Main difference between fats and oils

Fats usually come from animals and can be found in a solid state at room temperature while oils come from plants and are liquids at room temperature
200

Proteins are made of: 

amino acids

200

What does DNA stand for?

Deoxyribonucleic Acid

Ácido desoxiribonucleico

300
Why are biomolecules important? 

Living systems are made of various complex biomolecules. 

Essential for the functioning and the structure of living organisms 

Involved in biological processes

300

What are carbohydrates and its main function? 

Carbohydrates are organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, typically with the hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 ratio, as in water. They are one of the main types of nutrients and serve as a significant source of energy for the body.

What are the different levels of protein structure? 

Primary, secondary, terciart and quaternary

300

Main function of nucleic acids?

Dj They carry genetic informacion

400

Biomolecules importance in daily life

Nutrition, research, medicine, industry and technology

400

Galactose is an example of: 

Dj Monosaccharide

400

Main difference between steroids and other lipids

Ring structure

400

Examples of proteins: 

Insulin, collagen, keratin, hemoglobin, antibodies, etc

400
Nucleic acids are made of: 

sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous bases

500
Two examples of biomolecule

Carbohydrates: sucrose, glucose, lactose, galactose, starch, etc

Lipids: fat, wax, phospholipids, triglicerids, esteroids, etc

Proteins: insulin, hemoglobin, keratin, etc

Nucleic acids: DNA, and RNA


500

Energy storage for plants and for animals

Starch and glycogen

500

What are phospolipids?

Phospholipids are a type of lipid molecule that are a major component of all cell membranes. They are unique because they have both hydrophobic (water-repelling) and hydrophilic (water-attracting) properties, which makes them essential for forming cellular membranes

500

What are enzymes?

Enzymes are specialized proteins that act as catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions without being consumed themselves. They are highly specific to the substrates they work with, allowing them to efficiently catalyze targeted reactions.

Main differences between DNA and RNA

sugars: deoxyribose and ribose

structure: double helix and single helix
