What are the four major biological macromolecules found in living things?

carbohydrates lipids proteins and nucleic acids

200

These molecules are made mostly of C, H, and O.

carbohydrates and lipids

300

Proteins are made of these monomers.

Amino Acids

400

DOUBLE JEAPORDY : DNA and RNA are examples of this macromolecule group.

Nucleic acids

Monomers vs Polymers

100

A monomer is a small building block.

A single subunit

200

The process that joins monomers.

: Dehydration synthesis

300

The reaction that breaks polymers apart.

Hydrolysis

400

Triple Jeapordy: Carbs are polymers made of these monomers.

Monosaccharides

500

Lipids are unusual because they don’t form these.

True polymers

Carbohydrate Functions & Examples

100

Double Jeapordy:Carbs give the body this type of energy.

Quick/short‑term energy

200

Plants store carbs as this polymer.

Starch

300

Animals store carbs as this molecule.

Glycogen

400

The carb that makes plant cell walls strong.

Cellulose

500

A sugar made of two monosaccharides.

A disaccharide

Tied

ALL FOR NOTHING if wrong you lose 300 points if right you get 300 points : This carbohydrate is found in plant cell walls. Humans can’t digest it, but it helps keep the digestive system healthy by adding bulk to food.
