The monomer from which all carbohydrates are made.
What are sugars?
100
These are the monomers which make up proteins.
What are amino acids?
100
These are the two most common elements found in lipids.
What are carbon and hydrogen?
100
These are the monomers that make up nucleic acids.
What are nucleotides?
200
This is the term for the total of all chemical reactions happening in a living organism
What is metabolism?
200
This is the polysaccharide made by plants to store energy.
What is starch?
200
Although there are nearly 400 amino acids, this is the number of amino acids that all living things use in the proteins they make.
What is twenty?
200
This is the term for being repelled by water, a property of lipids that make them extremely important to living things.
What is hydrophobic?
200
This is the type of sugar molecule found in RNA.
What is ribose?
300
This is the term for the way that one-celled organisms reproduce.
What is asexual reproduction?
300
This is the term for any polymer made up of many sugars.
What is a polysaccharide?
300
This is the term for the level of protein structure which describes the sequence of amino acids.
What is primary structure?
300
Phospholipids are crucial to every living thing because they make up these.
What are cell membranes?
300
These are the initials of three of the four nucleotides found in DNA.
What are G, C, A, and T?
400
True or False: Mr. Carpenter cannot "adapt" in the biological sense of the word.
What is True?
400
This is the term for the polysaccharide that animals build to store energy.
What is glycogen?
400
This is a misfolded protein which can become infectious.
What is a prion?
400
This is what a fatty acid is called when it has the maximum amount of hydrogens and no double bonds between its carbons.
What is saturated?
400
This is the name of the structural shape of DNA. It was first described by Watson and Crick.
What is a double helix?
500
This is the term for the tendency and ability of living things to maintain relatively constant living conditions.
What is homeostasis?
500
This is the term for the chemical reaction which joins two monomers together by removing a water molecule.
What is dehydration synthesis?
500
This is the level of structure concerned with the three-dimensional shape of a protein.
What is tertiary structure?
500
This is the type of fat that stays liquid at room temperature rather than becoming solid.
What is unsaturated fat?
500
This is what is made in cells using the code that is found in DNA and copied by RNA.
