The Flaming Lipids
They are the types of food products that consist of lipids.
What are oils and fats?
The structure of carbohydrates is build prominently from this element, that can bond with four other elements including itself.
What is carbon?
These are the only two kinds of Nucleic Acid.
What are DNA and RNA
Sometimes sold as a protein powder, this is the monomer that makes up all proteins.
What are amino acids?
This monomer is the building block of every kind of lipid
What are fatty acids?
The general public idea of what a "carb" is relates to breads and pastas, however, this type of food that can "rush" you or "crash" you is also a carbohydrate
What are sugars?
What is storing and passing on genetic information?
Don't let the marbling or the world health organization fool you! This category of food is made mostly of protein.
What is meat?
Protein is the only macromolecule that contains this element, sometimes a byproduct of hard boiling an egg.
What is sulfur?
This lipid, often used as medicine, has a bad reputation.
What are steroids?
Don't go to bed after carbo-loading! The function of carbohydrates is this, so that would be a waste.
What is short term energy?
Most organisms have a combination of DNA and RNA, but these microscopic cases (and cures to) disease just have one.
What are bacteria?
Don't mistake it for the heartburn cure! This type of bond is what holds all proteins together.
What is a peptide bond?
These three elements are found in every single macromolecule; they make up the entirety of two of the four!
What are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen?
This bond links the chains of macromolecules within a lipid.
What is an ester bond?
Structurally, this is the only thing that makes lipids and carbohydrates different from each other.
What is a hexagonal structure?
DNA is always in a double helix structure, but RNA, which is only made of a single strand, is this far simpler geometric shape.
What is a circle?
Protein has many functions, including helping with this in your cells! Might be good to grab a steak after a workout.
What are cell repair & growth?
What are nucleotides?
Structurally, this is the only thing that makes lipids and carbohydrates different from each other.
What is a chain?
The monomer of a carbohydrate is this, a sugar with a latin suffix that sounds like a fancy word for "too sweet"
What is a monosaccharide?
Don't mistake this for another macromolecule! This bond is what holds all Nucleic Acid together.
What is a phosphodiester bond?
This type of protein is vital to the survival of most living things for its ability to facilitate chemical reactions.
What are enzymes?
This specific subcategory of macromolecule forms a bilayer that makes up the structure of certain cells.
What is a phospholipid.
