100
This is the number of covalent bonds that carbon tends to make.
What is 4?
100
These are the monomers of carbohydrates.
What are monosaccharides?
100
These are two differences between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
What is how saturated are full of hydrogens, all single bonds between carbons, and are straight chains; where unsaturated are not full of hydrogens because there are double bonds between carbons which causes the chains to have kinks.
100
These are the monomers of nucleic acids, and how many different kinds there are.
What are the 4 nucleotides (A,T,C,G)?
100
These are the monomers of polypeptides and how many different kinds there are.
What are 20 amino acids?
200
These are the four major classes of organic compounds.
What are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids?
200
These are three examples of monosaccharides
What are glucose, fructose, galactose, or ribose?
200
These are what triglycerides are made out of.
What are three fatty acids attached to a glycerol?
200
These are the complementary base pairing of nucleotides in DNA.
What is adenine with thymine (A=T); and cytosine with guanine (C=G)
200
This is the chemical structural formula of a generic amino acid (yes, get out a white board and draw one!!).
What is a sketch showing the amine end (NH2) attached to an asymmetrical carbon with one hydrogen and one (R) group, attached to the carboxylic acid end (O=C-OH)?
300
These are the kinds of CHEMICAL REACTIONS that 1.) build up polymers, and 2.) break down polymers.
What are 1.) condensation, and 2.) hydrolysis, respectively?
300
The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6. (sorry, I can't do subscripts on this Jeopardy program!) This is the molecular formula of a disaccharide made up of two glucose monomers.
What is C12H22O11 ?
300
In terms of human health, this is why trans fats are bad for you.
What is how even though trans fatty acids have double bonds (good), they more closely resemble saturated fatty acids that are straight chained (bad) because they stack more easily and contribute to atherosclerosis.
300
This is what a nucleotide looks like (yes, get out a white board and draw one!).
What is a phosphate (circle) attached to a ribose sugar (pentagon) attached to a nitrogenous base (rectangle)? Can you number the carbons on the ribose????
300
Amino acids are linked together by ________ to form ________.
What are CONDENSATION and POLYPEPTIDES?
400
These are two of the reasons why carbon is the versatile element that is the basis of life on earth.
What is how it can form either 1.) chains (straight or branched), it can form rings, 2.) single or double bonds, 3.) can associate with a wide variety of other elements, 4.) can store a lot of energy in the bonds with other elements, 5.) is the smallest (most agile) of the tetravalent elements.
400
These are three examples of polysaccharides, and what kind of organism makes each of them.
What are how plants make: starch and cellulose, where animals make glycogen and chitin
400
These are three biological functions of lipids.
What are 1.) energy storage: fats in animals and oils in plants, and 2.) heat insulation: sub-q fats keeps in heat, and 3.) buoyancy: lipids are less dense so helps animals float, or 4.) steroidal hormones: cell to cell communication, or 5.) lipid bilayers: phospholipids are main ingredient of cell membranes?
400
These are the kinds of bonds that hold nucleotides together between the 1.) sugar-phosphate backbone (like the rails of a latter), and 2.) between the two antiparallel strands (like the rungs of a latter.
What are 1.) strong covalent bonds, and 2.) weak hydrogen bonds?
400
The amino acid sequence determines the __________ of a protein.
What is its THREE-DIMENSIONAL CONFORMATION (shape)?
500
This is the chemical structural formula of a.) fatty acids, b.) glucose, c.) ribose, and d.) an amino acid (yes, get out a while board and draw them!!!)
What is each of them drawn properly?
500
These are comparisons between each of 1.) starches vs. glycogen, and 2.) cellulose vs. chitin.
What are 1.) DIFFERENCE: plant vs. animal products; SIMILARITY: both energy storage of glucose reserves that can easily be digested, and 2.) DIFFERENCE: plant vs. animal products; SIMILARITY: both structural fibers that cannot easily be digested.
500
These are two advantages of energy storage in carbs compared to lipids.
Can the advantages include: CARBS = 1.) usually stored over short periods of time, and 2.) more easily digested so released more rapidly, and 3.) soluble in water so easier to transport; compared to LIPIDS = 1.) usually over longer periods of time, and 2.) contain more energy per gram than carbs, and 3.) insoluble in water so don't interfere with osmosis.
500
This is what a diagram of the structure of DNA looks like, involving at least 4 nucleotides. (yes, get out a white board and sketch one!!).
What is it looking like a ladder: showing two antiparallel sugar phosphate backbones (rails), with interior nitrogenous bases following the complementary base pairing rule of A-T; C-G (rungs).
500
This is an explanation of how proteins are formed (from beginning to end).
What is how it begins with the genetic code (order of nucleotides) in DNA, which gets transcribed to a copy of messenger RNA, which then leaves the nucleus to transcribe the message to the ribosome, where every three base pairs on the mRNA forms a triplet code (codon) to help the ribosome chose the specific order of amino acids.
