Carbohydrates
This is the basic building block of carbohydrates.
What are monosaccharides (or simple sugars)?
This is the monomer that makes up proteins.
What are amino acids?
This is the building blocks of most lipids.
What are fatty acids and glycerol?
This is the monomer of a nucleic acid.
What are nucleotides?
What are carbohydrates?
This is a simple sugar that is a common energy source for cells.
What is glucose?
This is the type of bond that links amino acids together.
What are peptide bonds?
This is one common function of lipids in cells.
What is energy storage/insulation/forming cell membranes?
What is DNA/RNA?
This is the macromolecule is primarily responsible for storing genetic information?
What are nucleic acids?
What is a polysaccharide?
What are enzymes/structural support/transport/signaling?
This is the two main common elements of lipids.
What are carbon and hydrogen?
These are the elements for nucleic acids.
What are nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and phosphorus?
This macromolecules creates enzymes to speed up chemical reactions.
What are proteins?
Cellulose and starch differs in their functions in this way.
How does starch store energy and cellulose provide structural support?
The primary is the the amino acid sequence, and the quaternary is arrangement of multiple polypeptide chains.
What is controlling what enters and leaves the cells?
What is a phosphate group, nitrogenous base, and sugar?
This is the difference between carbohydrates and lipids concerning energy.
How do carbohydrates store short-term energy and lipids store long-term energy?
This is the reason that humans cannot digest cellulose.
Why can't humans break down cellulose to its monomer?
This is the effect of protein function caused by a change in the sequence of amino acids.
What is the altering of the protein's shape and function?
This is the structure of phospholipids that allows them to form a bilayer.
What is hydrophilic heads on the outside and hydrophobic tails on the inside?
This is the role of ATP in cellular activities.
What is storing and suppling energy?
This is how macromolecules are essential for maintaining homeostasis.
What is regulating energy use/cell structure/and chemical reactions.
