Macromolecules
Big 4 of macromolecules
Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids.
The hydroxyl group has these elements
oxygen and hydrogen
water molecules stick together because of this bond
Hydrogen bond
proteins are made up of these smaller building blocks
amino acids
DNA stands for
deoxyribonucleic acid
This macromolecule serves as quick energy for the cell
Carbohydrates.
Amino groups are most common in this macromolecule
proteins
water sticking to other surfaces
adhesion
the shape of the protein determines
function
The monomers of nucleic acids are these
nucleotides
fats and oils belong to this macromolecule group
lipids
this functional group is written as OPO3
phosphate group
ice floats because water is
more dense than ice
the level of protein is determined by the sequence of amino acids
primary structure
adenines base pair is
thymine
monomers called amino acids make up this macromolecule
proteins
this functional groups is commonly found in which group
hydroxyl group
water is called the universal solvent because of this characteristic
polarity
this type of bond links amino acids together
peptide bond
RNA differs from DNA due to this sugar
Ribose
DNA and RNA are in this category of macromolecule
Nucleic acids.
the amino functional group's chemical compound is
NH2
water sticks to plant roots because of adhesion and
cohesion
when a protein begins to unravel this is called
denaturation
this process uses DNA instructions to build proteins.
protein synthesis.
