Lipid
what are the monomer and polymer names for lipids
monomer= fatty acid
polymer=lipids
what is the monomer name
monosacharide
what are the elements of proteins
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sometimes sulfer
what are the DNA base pairs
C=G
A=T
how may macromolecules are there
4 (Carbohydrates, Lipids, nucleic acid, proteins)
what are 2 examples of a monomer
saturated
unsaturated
what is the ratio for carbohydrates
1carbon
2:Hydrogen
1:oxygen
what are 3 examples of polymers
1. enzymes
2. collagen
3. some hormones
what are the RNA base pairs
A=U
G=C
DNA is part of what macromolecule
Nucleic Acid
what are 2 examples of a polymer
triglycerides
phospholipid
what are the functions of carbohydrates
short term energy
structural support
how many amino acids are there in proteins
20
what are the functions of Nucleic Acids
Stores genetic info
transmits genetic info
stores and transfers energy within cells
what do all the macromolecules contain
oxygen, hydrogen carbon
what do lipids give us that that other macromolecules don't give us
long term energy
if a sugar compound has 22 oxygen atoms how many hydrogen atoms will it have
44 hydrogen atoms
what are the functions of proteins
speed up the chemical reactions
fight infections
cell communication
structural support
transports and stores materials
what are the monomer name and the polymer name for nucleic acid
monomer=nucleotide
polymer=nucleic acid
what are 4 examples of carbohydrates polymers
starch, glycogen, cellulose, chitin
how do lipids help us maintain homeostasis
lipids give us the fats that we need and it gives us the long term energy that we need
is this a carbohydrate formula
C10-H18-O9
no, because there isn't a 1:2:1 ratio
what is the name of the bonds holding the polymers together
peptide bond
if nucleic acid were never formed what would happen to the human body
it wouldn't create DNA for the human body and we wouldn't be able to maintain homeostasis and we would die
Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reaction
