Monomers
What is a monomer?
A small part/ subunit of a large macromolecule
Many monomers put together
Structure of a carbohydrate
(+100 if you can tell me what elements in what ratio)
(+ANOTHER 100 if you can tell me the exact formula of glucose)
A ring
C : H : O (1:2:1)
Glucose: C6H12O6
Function of nucleic acids
Storing genetic information
What are the 6 most common elements to life
C H O N P S
Monomer of nucleic acid
nucleotide
Polymer of Nucleic Acid
Polynucleotide
Structure of a fatty acid
Hydrocarbon chain
Function of a carb
Short term energy
Why is carbon so important
(Bonus +100, what type of chemistry is all about this element)
It can make 4 stable bonds with itself and other elements
(Organic)
Monomer of Lipid
Fatty Acid
Polymer of Lipid
- Triglyceride
- Phospholipid
- Wax
- Steroid
Structure of a nucleotide
Phosphate group
5 carbon sugar
Nitrogenous base
Function of a lipid
Long term energy storage
The cell membrane is made of what kind of macromolecule
(+100 if you tell me what its name is)
Lipids
(Phospholipids)
Monomer of protein
amino acid
Polymer of Carbohydrate
Polysaccharide
The 4 levels of protein folding
1- amino acid chain
2- a- helices and b-pleated sheets
3- 3d Structure
4- globular proteins
Name 2 functions of proteins
Antibodies
Enzymes
Gene expression
Chanel/ transport proteins
Carbohydrate
Protein
Lipid
Nucleic Acid
Monomer of carbohydrates
Monosaccharide
Polymer of Protein
Polypeptide
Why is structure important to macromolecules
Structure = function
(Meaning how the molecule is shaped determines its function)
How are carbs different from steroids if they are both in the shape of a ring and they contain the same elements
The ratio of C:H:O
