This macromolecule is NOT made of monomers.
What is a lipid?
100
Lipids consist of units of fatty acid "tails" and "heads" made of this.
What is glycerol?
100
This organic polymer helps make proteins and consists of only one nucleotide chain.
What is RNA?
100
The monomers that make up proteins are called this.
What are amino acids?
100
This type of carbohydrate is used by animals to store energy and humans store them in their liver cells.
What is glycogen?
200
These lipids are found in animals, primarily in the liver, and store energy.
What are triglycerides?
200
This is the name of the monomers that make up nucleic acids.
What are nucleotides?
200
When amino acids bind together they form long chains called this.
What is a polypeptide?
200
Plants use this type of carbohydrate to form a rigid structure called a cell wall.
What is cellulose?
300
Of the two types of fatty acids, there are saturated and this type.
What is unsaturated?
300
This organic polymer are found in genes and its sequence is a code that makes proteins.
What is DNA?
300
This type of protein finds foreign bodies like bacteria and marks them for destruction.
What are antibodies?
300
This is the name of a carbohydrate monomer.
What is a monosaccharide?
400
This type of lipid is a major component of cell membranes.
What is a phospholipid?
400
Each nucleotide monomer consists of a sugar, a nitrogen base and this.
What is a phosphate group?
400
These types of proteins act as catalysts for specific biological chemical reactions. They increase the reaction rate.
What are enzymes?
400
This type of carbohydrate often ends in the letters -ose
What are sugars, Chloe?
500
This type of lipid serves as a chemical messenger.
What are steroids? WHATEVER?! Drr.
500
This is the shape of the two stranded nucleotide chain in DNA.
What is a double helix?
500
Another type of protein that allows red blood cells to carry oxygen through out the body is called this.
What is hemoglobin?
500
This carbohydrate allows insects and mushrooms to build structure. It is the main component of an insects exoskeleton.
What is chitin?
