List 2 polysaccharides found in plants
What is starch and cellulose
Function of this class of protein is to help reactions occur faster
What are enzymes
List and describe the 4 structure levels of proteins
What are Primary (linear polypeptide), Secondary (twists and pleats), Tertiary (bends and folds), and Quaternary (multiple chains intertwined)
How do lipids help the cell membrane?
Phospholipids form a bilayer that controls what crosses the membrane due to the hydrophobic tails interacting on the interior, forcing the hydrophilic heads toward the sides of the membrane in contact with water-based solutions
Name 3 polysaccharides
What is Cellulose, Glycogen, Starch
Phospholipid is made up of?
What is Phosphate head that is polar or hydrophilic Fatty acid tails which are non-polar or hydrophobic
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Sulfur and Nitrogen make up this macromolecule
What is a protein
Amino acids are held together by ?
What are Peptide bonds
Which type of fats are liquid at room temperature
unsaturated fats
An attribute of all proteins, is denaturization...explain this process
What is when proteins or enzymes are exposed to high temperature or extreme chemicals these extreme situations permanently change the protein's structure so it no longer works properly
Monomer of nucleic acids are?
What are Nucleotides
These conditions affect enzyme activity
What is they need certain temperature, PH, enzyme-substrate concentration
Which bases are pyrimidines
cytosine, uracil, and thymine
List the 4 macromolecules and list their function in the body
What is Carbs-quick energy and structure
Proteins: many complex functions due to complex structures
Lipids: long-term energy resource, structure, and insulation
Nucleic Acids: Holds our genetic information and helps with the production of proteins
