Proteins
There are approximately 20 of these monomers that build proteins.
What are amino acids?
Lipids have this trait of repelling water.
What is the hydrophobic?
This is a food example of a carb.
What is fruits (apples, bananas, berries, melons, oranges, etc.), vegetables (especially starchy veggies like potatoes, peas, and corn), dairy (milk and yogurts), grains (bread, pasta, oats, rice)?
This field of study blends 2 major sciences and involves research into the chemicals found in living organisms and that are necessary for life.
What is biochemistry?
This is a whole or part of a protein sequence.
What is a polypeptide?
This is a food example of lipids.
Most oils (vegetable, olive, avocado, coconut, etc.), dairy products (butter, whole milk, cheese), fatty meats (beef, pork, etc.)
Saccharide is the scientific name for this.
What are sugars?
This is the full name of the abbreviations for DNA and RNA.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid?
This is the definition of a molecule.
What is a structure composed of 2+ atoms bonded together?
The sequence of amino acids, size, and shape determines this.
What is the type of protein?
While more difficult for cells to digest and use, fats are useful for this long-term.
What is long-term, excess energy storage?
These carbohydrates qualify as “simple sugars”.
What are monosaccharides and disaccharides?
These are the nucleotides found in RNA.
Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Uracil
This is the definition of an atom.
What is the smallest unit of matter?
We do this in order to get the 9 amino acids our bodies cannot make.
What is eating protein found in eggs, lean meats, nuts, beans, dairy, seafood, etc. as part of our diets?
These fats are typical solid at room temp and recognized as having all single bonds between carbon atoms.
What is saturated?
This is the correct ratio and type of atoms to be a carbohydrate.
What is C, H, and O - with H and O as a 2:1 ratio?
These are the nucleotides found in DNA.
What are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine?
This is the definition of an element.
What is the specific identity of one type of atom?
These are specific (protein) chemicals that breakdown other molecules.
What are enzymes?
These fats are typically liquid at room temp and are recognized as having at least one double bond between carbon atoms.
What is unsaturated?
The vast majority of our food is composed of these.
What are complex carbohydrates or complex sugars or polysaccharides?
These are differences between the two types of Nucleic Acids.
DNA: double strand of nucleotides and one less oxygen atom in the molecule
RNA: single strand of nucleotides and one more oxygen atom in the molecule
This is the definition of an organic molecule
What is any molecule that contains carbon bonded to C,H,O,N,P,S?
