Biomolecules
How many major biomolecule groups are there?
4
What is the function of carbohydrates?
short term energy storage or for making other biomolecules
also acceptable: structure (cell wall of plant cells are made of cellulose)
What are the elements in Lipids?
CHO. Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen
Proteins are good for our body, one example of what they do is this
What is muscle development, immune system antibodies, enzymes, building nails and hair, carry our oxygen in our blood...
What is an example of a nucleic acid?
What is DNA or RNA, tRNA, mRNA
Which biomolecules have a 1:2:1 ratio of their elements?
carbohydrates
What is carbohydrate's monomer?
Glucose. Also acceptable: Monosaccharide
If you had to describe the basic shape of a lipid, you would describe it as this
What is a "E" shape or a "moon lander" shape
also acceptable is a shape with a backbone and 3 equal legs
Proteins monomers are
What are amino acids
Monomers of nucleic acids are.
What are nucleotides
The definition is: Large molecules found in food needed for all life.
biomolecules
also acceptable: marcomolecules
On a sandwich, what part is an example of the carbohydrates?
bread
What is a function of a lipid?
Long term energy, insulation, cushioning, cell membranes
In our lab, the positive test for a protein was this color
light purple
Why didn't we test for nucleic acids in the lab?
nucleic acids are in all cells. our food is almost entirely made of things made of cells. so everything would test positive for nucleic acids.
The four major biomolecules are.
carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids.
What elements found in carbs?
C H O. Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
What are the monomers of Lipids?
a glycerol and 3 fatty acids
What is the polymer (or a bunch of protein monomers) look like?
a pearl necklace or beaded necklace
(each pearl or bead represents an amino acid)
What is the function of Nucleic Acid?
Stores genetic information
The term Monomer is defined as
The basic unit or the building blocks or the simplest smallest form of a biomolecule.
In the lab, what color was the positive test for sugar?
Orange-red
What are 2 examples of lipids?
What is oil, or shortening, butter, wax
what elements make up the protein biomolecule?
C H O N
Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen
What elements make up the nucleic acid biomolecules?
