Heyo! It's Random Time!!!

All living things (on Earth) are made of what basic part. Some are made of only one of these.
What are cells
100
Carbohydrates can be divided into two general categories or types.
What are simple and complex carbohydrates.
100
Proteins serve what overall function in biology...
They do the work in and between cells. They are the worker-bees of biology(s)...woot woot whaaaaat.
100
2 of the 3 types of lipids that commonly occur in nature.
What are oils, fats, and waxes.
100
The difference between an Element and a Molecule.
What is an element is the smallest unit of stable matter - an atom - and a molecule is composed of two or more elements bonded together.
200
You eat an apple, fructose is absorbed into your blood through your small intestine, it goes to your cells and provides them with __________.
All living things require a supply of this in order to stay alive.
What is energy.
200
The main function of carbohydrates in nature.
What is ENERGY (now "boom pow" or later).
200
The number of Amino Acids that commonly occur in nature.
What is 20
200
Lipids main function in nature is do this.
What is provide long-term energy storage.
I will take provide protection from the environment as well...insulation and weather-proofing.
200
The number of essential amino acids and what it means to be an "essential amino acid".
What is 9 and it means you have to get them from food /diet, you cannot synthesise them yourselves out of other molecules.
300
Controls what cells are and do. The instructions for life contained inside of cells.
DNA. or....Deoxyribonucleic Acid.
Nucleic Acids are one of the types of biological molecules that store biological information.
300
People always look at me and say, "Hey what's up CHO"...and I'm like, "Yo, I was just kicking it as some carbon dioxide and water before this plant decided to convert me into something sweet to for itself to eat." I am of course referring to:
What is Glucose or Fructose.
300
List two functions of protein.
What are enzymes, antibodies, structural, and/or transport and signalling.
300
Lipids that are solid at room temperature and that are composed of straight chains of carbon and hydrogen.
What are saturated fats.
300
Hemoglobin is an awesome example of this type of protein. Specifically, it does this job.
What is TRANSPORT protein...and it carries oxygen around in our red-blood cells.
400
You started out as a single cell - 50 times smaller than this period. You are now a mass of 37 trillion cells. This is an example of what characteristic of life?
What is growth (and reproduction - as in that is how you got to be that first, single cell).
400
Complex carbohydrate that serves as energy later and is found in plants. Hint: think plant roots.
What is Starch.
400
The order of amino acids determines a proteins...
What is the shape and function. (I will take either answer...or both)
400
Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature because of this reason.
What is that they have at least one bent carbon and hydrogen chain, which does not allow them pack as tightly together and solidify (unless really cooled down).
400
The type and specific name of the biological molecule in the following list of food items: Potato: Peach: Lamb chop: Butter:
What is Turnip: Carb, Starch. Peach: Carb, Fructose. Lamb chop: Protein, Muscle. Butter: Lipid, Saturated Fat.
500
"Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...It is so freaking cold out - why did I wear booty shorts to hike up King Mountain in December?!!! I can't stop shivering." This is an example of your body demonstrating what characteristic of life?
What is homeostasis.
Or your own terrible choices in life.
500
The most abundant molecule produced on Earth. Plants make 100 billion tons of it a year.
Hint: polysaccharide used for plant structure.
What is cellulose.
Or...what is your face.
500
A doctor diagnosis you with a rare genetic disease that affects your ability to produce a protein that helps you break down starches into digestible glucose molecules. The specific type of protein the doctor is referring to is...
What is an ENZYME.
500
Lipids provide excellent weather-proofing, both for your skin and as a membrane around each of your cells. The property of characteristic of lipids that lends themselves to being particularly well suited to this task.
What is they are not electrically charged molecules - they are non-polar - hydrophobic. Therefore, water molecules are not attracted to them.
500
The element that is the most important, most central to life on Earth, and what about this molecule that gives it this unique virtue / characteristic.
What is CARBON. It bonds on four sides, shares its four electrons and thus can form 3-dimensional structures and act as the building-block for complex biological molecules.
