Carbohydrate
What is the monomer of carbohydrates?
What is a monosaccharide?
These are the two monomers of a triglyceride (fats/oils).
What are glycerol and fatty acids?
This is the monomer of nucleic acids.
What is a nucleotide?
This is the monomer of proteins.
What are amino acids?
These are the elements found in biomolecules.
What are C-H-O-N-P-S?
(Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur)
This is the polymer of carbohydrates.
What are polysaccharides?
This is the polymer of lipids.
What is a triglyceride?
ALSO accepted: What is a phospholipid?
This is the polymer of nucleic acid.
What are nucleic acids?
This is the polymer of proteins.
What is a polypeptide? OR What is a protein?
These bonds form between polar molecules.
What are hydrogen bonds?
This is how the body uses carbohydrates
What is short term energy?
Bonus points for energy storage, plant structure, and metabolism.
This is a primary use of a lipids in the body.
What is long term storage, insulation, membrane structure or insulation?
This is the function of Nucleic Acids in the body.
What is to storage, and transmit genetic material?
These are two functions of proteins.
What are enzymatic activity and structural composition?
ALSO accepted light absorption, contraction, cell signaling and identification, immune system function, transport and storage of materials......... (up to teacher discretion.)
This is a molecule that has slight positive and slight negative areas, due to unequal sharing of electrons.
What is a polar molecule?
This is an example of a carbohydrate molecule.
What is.... answers vary?
possible starch, glycogen, cellulose, glucose, lactose.....
This is an example of a lipid.
What are saturated fats (fat)? unsaturated fats (oil)? phospholipid? steroids? waxes?
These are two main nucleic acids.
What are DNA and RNA?
This is an example of a protein.
What are enzymes? (lactase, amylase, DNA helicase)
ALSO
antibodies, contractile proteins, hormones, structural proteins(elastin), storage proteins, transport proteins(hemoglobin), pigments, AT TEACHERS DISCRETION.
This is the process of polymerization that combines monomers by removing water.
What is dehydration synthesis?
What is the structure of a carbohydrate
a ring of carbon, with H and OH attached above and below (Ratio of C:H2:O)
What is the structure of a lipid?
Glycerol holding together 3 long fatty acid chains.
or
Phosphate holding together 2 fatty acid chains (one saturated and one unsaturated)
This is the structure of nucleic acids.
This is a description of two of the four levels of protein organization.
