🍞 CARBOHYDRATES
This biomolecule provides cells with an immediate source of energy.
What are carbohydrates?
Lipids are used by cells for this type of energy storage.
✅ What is long-term energy storage?
Enzymes belong to this biomolecule group.
✅ What are proteins?
These biomolecules store genetic information.
✅ What are nucleic acids?
An enzyme is this type of biological molecule.
✅ What is a protein?
This simple sugar is an example of a carbohydrate and is commonly used by cells for energy.
✅ What is glucose?
This important cell structure is mainly composed of lipids.
✅ What is the cell membrane?
These proteins help move substances into and out of the cell.
✅ What are membrane/transport proteins?
Name the two major nucleic acids.
✅ What are DNA and RNA?
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions without being ________.
✅ What is consumed/used up?
This carbohydrate makes up much of the cell wall of plants.
✅ What is cellulose?
The cell membrane consists primarily of two layers of these molecules.
✅ What are phospholipids?
This network of proteins provides structure and support to a cell.
✅ What is the cytoskeleton?
Nucleic acids contain the instructions for making these molecules.
✅ What are proteins?
This is the specific location on an enzyme where its substrate binds.
✅ What is the active site?
Match the organism to its cell-wall material: plants, fungi, and most bacteria.
✅ What are cellulose, chitin, and peptidoglycan?
The head of a phospholipid is attracted to water and is described using this term.
✅ What is hydrophilic?
Insulin is an example of this type of protein.
✅ What is a protein-based hormone?
DOULBE JEOPARDY!!!
This thread-like structure contains nucleic acids and proteins and is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
✅ What is a chromosome?
Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering this.
✅ What is activation energy?
Besides providing energy, carbohydrates have this important role in some cells.
✅ What is providing structural support/forming cell walls?
Explain the difference between the head and tails of a phospholipid in relation to water.
✅ What is the head is hydrophilic/water-loving while the tails are hydrophobic/water-fearing?
Name three different functions proteins perform in cells or organisms.
Possible answers: enzymes, transport, antibodies, hormones, structural support.
This cellular structure is made of RNA and proteins and is responsible for synthesizing proteins.
✅ What is a ribosome?
In the lock-and-key model, identify what represents the lock and what represents the key.
✅ What are the enzyme's active site (lock) and substrate (key)?
