Long-term energy reservoir and can controls water movement
What is Lipids
What is my monomer/building blocks?
What is amino acids
What am I missing: phosphate group, nitrogenous base, and_________
What is 5 carbon sugar
What makes me a polar molecule?
uneven distribution of electrons due to oxygen being more electronegative than hydrogens.
testosterone and estrogen are what type of macromolecule?
Steroids
The complete tool-kit of a cell: Does everything from catalyzing reactions, providing support, aiding in defense and communication.
What are proteins
What holds amino acids together and how does this bond happen?
What is peptide bond and through dehydration synthesis/condensation
In the DNA, I connect the two stands together by connecting the bases.
Hydrogen Bond
What property allows me to support heavy things.
Surface tension
I'm very unhealthy for you as I'm full of single bonded hydrocarbons and found in a lot of red meat, dairy, etc
What is saturated fat
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, phosphate, and nitrogen make up this macromolecule?
What are Nucleic Acid
What does my primary structure tell me about myself
It tells me what structure I'll fold into and therefore my function.
What is difference between the sugar of DNA & RNA?
DNA have one less oxygen at the 2' carbon, while RNA has an oxygen at the 2' carbon.
Why do I float when I'm solid in water?
When frozen, I expand and my hydrogen bonds are further apart from each other.
What makes the polar head of a phospholipid polar? Name at least three examples.
Carboxyl group, amino group, and phosphate group
I serve as the primary form of energy storage in the human body. I have a glycerol molecule with 3 fatty acids.
What is triacylglycerol.
Why am I able to have so many dynamic structure and functions compared to my fellow macromolecules?
Due to 20 unique amino acids with 20 different R-groups that provide different properties
In what direction do I grow in?
In the 3' direction
My high specific heat is mainly a consequence of the
A) high specific heat of oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
B) fact that water is a poor heat conductor.
C) small size of the water molecules.
D) absorption and release of heat when hydrogen bonds break and form.
E) higher density of liquid water than solid water (ice).
D
I'm a polysaccharide and the main source of energy storage in plants
I held the sugar-phosphate backbone of both DNA and RNA together.
What is phosphodiester bond
When I fold, where would my amino acids go? What would be outside and inside?
Polar/charged, hydrophilic amino acids will be outside, while non-polar/uncharged, hydrophobic amino acids will be inside.
Us three will always be single while our two friends will always have partners.
What is pyrimidine
Why are you able to cool down when you sweat? What property of water allow this to happen.
Due to high heat of vaporization.
I only have a pentose sugar and a nitrogenous base
What is nucleoside
