What bond does a lipid use
Ester Bond
What is the role of DNA
DNA is a molecule that contains the genetic code that is unique to every individual.
How are the building blocks of organic molecules like bricks?
They attach together to create a larger structure.
What are the three classes of carbohydrates?
The three classes of carbohydrates are monosaccharides,polysaccharides,and disaccharides.
How many amino acids are in a protein
20 amino acids
What are some uses for lipids
Insulation and Long term energy starch
Describe the structure and shape of DNA?
DNA is made of two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a double helix.
What determines how organic molecules will look and behave?
The shape determines how they will look and behave.
Carbohydrates that are made up of one or two sugar units are called
Disaccharides
What some examples of what the protein does
Make muscles and membrane
What solubility does lipids have
Insoluble
How does the role of RNA differ from that of DNA?
DNA is responsible for storing and transferring genetic information while RNA directly codes for amino acids and acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes to make proteins.
How does a polysaccharide differ from a disaccharide?
Disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharides linked together, and polysaccharides are composed of 3 or more monosaccharides linked together.
