Carbohydrates
The primary function of carbohydrates in living organisms.
What is to provide energy?
Proteins are made of this.
What are Amino Acids?
Main functions of lipids.
What is hormone production, cholesterol, membrane formation, waxes, protective coverings, etc?
Two main types of Nucleic Acids.
What is DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)and RNA (Ribonucleic Acid)?
These cells were the first to evolve.
What are prokaryotes?
Name two types of simple sugars.
What are Glucose, Fructose, /Galactose?
Define the term enzyme.
What is a protein that catalyzes or speeds up chemical reactions?
Name three types of lipids.
What is triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids or /cholesterol?
The function of DNA.
What is it stores genetic information (passed from parents to offspring and is the basis of inheritance)?
Another name for Archaea.
What is extremophile?
Difference between starch and glycogen.
What is Starch is the primary energy storage molecule in plants, while Glycogen is the primary energy storage molecule in animals?
The significance of the primary structure of a protein.
What is it identifies or determines the type of protein and, therefore its function?
Explain the structure of a phospholipid.
What is it consists of a hydrophilic head (polar) and hydrophobic tails (non-polar)?
The monomer of Nucleic Acid.
What is a nucleotide?
These cells have membrane-bound organelles.
What are Eukaryotes?
Describe the structure of Cellulose.
What is composed of a string of glucose molecules made of fiber?
Explain the concept of protein denaturation.
What is the process where a protein loses its natural 3D structure, or "folds," due to external factors like heat, pH changes, and chemicals, resulting in a disruption of its biological function?
The roles that lipids play in membrane formation.
What is they make or form membranes?
Name of the nucleotide responsible for energy storage and transfer within cells.
What is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)?
All cells have these in common.
What are plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and DNA?
The influence of carbohydrates on cell signaling.
What is they serve as recognition molecules on the membrane interacting with receptors and these are glycoproteins and aids in adhesion etc.?
Describe how proteins can act as signaling molecules.
What is they are receptors - act as signaling molecules by binding on the membrane or inside cells, leading to a cellular response?
Difference between unsaturated and saturated fats.
What is saturated fats have no double bonds in their fatty acid chains with more hydrogen atoms, while unsaturated fats have at least one double bond and have fewer hydrogen atoms?
This Nucleic Acid is single-stranded.
What is RNA (Ribonucleic Acid)?
4 Kingdoms of Eukaryotes.
What are Plantae (plants), Animalia (animals), Protista (protists) and Fungi?
