Up for the challenge?
100

Long-term energy reservoir and can controls water movement

What is Lipids

100

What is my monomer/building blocks?

What is amino acids

100

What am I missing: phosphate group, nitrogenous base, and_________

What is 5 carbon sugar

100

What makes me a polar molecule?

uneven distribution of electrons due to oxygen being more electronegative than hydrogens.

100

testosterone and estrogen are what type of macromolecule?

Steroids

200

The complete tool-kit of a cell: Does everything from catalyzing reactions, providing support, aiding in defense and communication.

What are proteins

200

What holds amino acids together and how does this bond happen?

What is peptide bond and through dehydration synthesis/condensation

200

 In the DNA, I connect the two stands together by connecting the bases.

Hydrogen Bond

200

What property allows me to support heavy things.

Surface tension

200

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

300

Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, phosphate, and nitrogen make up this macromolecule?

What are Nucleic Acid

300

What does my primary structure tell me about myself

It tells me what structure I'll fold into and therefore my function.

300

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.

300

Why do I float when I'm solid in water?

When frozen, I expand and my hydrogen bonds are further apart from each other.

300

What makes the polar head of a phospholipid polar? Name at least three examples.

Carboxyl group, amino group, and phosphate group

400

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.

400

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 

400

In what direction do I grow in?

In the 3' direction

400

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

400

I'm a polysaccharide and the main source of energy storage in plants 

What is starch
500

I held the sugar-phosphate backbone of both DNA and RNA together.

What is phosphodiester bond

500

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.

500

Us three will always be single while our two friends will always have partners.

What is pyrimidine 

500

Why are you able to cool down when you sweat? What property of water allow this to happen.

Due to high heat of vaporization.
