Carbohydrates
The primary function of carbohydrates in organisms.
What is energy?
The building block of lipids.
What is fatty acid?
This is the monomer of nucleic acids.
What is a nucleotide?
The building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
The lab experiment exploring enzymes.
What is Elephant’s Toothpaste Experiment?
These carbohydrates are made of two monomers.
What are disaccharides?
The characteristic of lipids that makes them repel water.
What is hydrophobic?
The four base pairs in DNA.
What are adenine-thymine (A-T) and cytosine-guanine (C-G)?
This protein catalyzes chemical reactions.
What is enzyme?
Iodine is used to test for this.
What is starch?
This polysaccharide is used by plants for structural support.
What is cellulose?
Seals use lipids for this reason.
What is insulation?
The four base pairs in RNA
What are adenine-uracil (A-U) and cytosine-guanine (C-G)?
This protein breaks down lactose.
What is lactase?
The substrate in the Elephant’s Toothpaste reaction.
What is hydrogen peroxide?
Where carbohydrates are stored in animals.
What is the liver?
This lipid forms the bilayer of cell membranes.
What is a phospholipid?
The three locations DNA can be found in a cell.
What are the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplast?
This protein builds new DNA molecules.
What is DNA polymerase?
The reason milk straight from a cow will separate into milk and cream.
These two monomers make up sucrose (table sugar).
What is glucose and fructose?
These lipids are used for energy storage.
What are triglycerides?
The sugar found in the backbone of RNA.
What is ribose?
The level of protein structure characterized by alpha helices and beta sheets.
What is secondary structure?
The two foods tested in the Starch Lab with NO starch content.
What is garlic/onion and parsley?
