Carbohydrates
This is the basic building block of carbohydrates.
What are monosaccharides (or simple sugars)?
This is the monomer that makes up proteins.
What are amino acids?
What are fatty acids and glycerol?
This is the monomer of a nucleic acid.
What are nucleotides?
This is what macromolecule enzymes are typically made of.
Proteins
This is a simple sugar that is a common energy source for cells.
What is glucose?
This is the type of bond that links amino acids together.
What are peptide bonds?
This is one common function of lipids in cells.
What is energy storage/insulation/forming cell membranes?
This nucleic acid carries the genetic code in cells.
What is DNA/RNA?
This is the role of an enzyme.
What is speeding up chemical reactions?
What is a polysaccharide?
This is one function of proteins in the human body.
What are enzymes/structural support/transport/signaling?
This is the two main common elements of lipids.
What are carbon and hydrogen?
These are the elements for nucleic acids.
What are nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and phosphorus?
This is how enzymes affect activation energy.
What is lowering the activation energy?
Cellulose and starch differs in their functions in this way.
How does starch store energy and cellulose provide structural support?
This is the difference between a protein's primary and quaternary structure.
The primary is the the amino acid sequence, and the quaternary is arrangement of multiple polypeptide chains.
This is the role of phospholipids in cell membranes.
What is controlling what enters and leaves the cells?
What is a phosphate group, nitrogenous base, and sugar?
This is the active site of an enzyme.
What is the region where substrates bind and reactions occur?
This is the reason that humans cannot digest cellulose.
Why can't humans break down cellulose to its monomer?
This is the effect of protein function caused by a change in the sequence of amino acids.
What is the altering of the protein's shape and function?
This is the structure of phospholipids that allows them to form a bilayer.
What is hydrophilic heads on the outside and hydrophobic tails on the inside?
This is the role of ATP in cellular activities.
What is storing and suppling energy?
This is how temperature and pH affect enzyme activity?
What is denaturing through extreme temperature or pH?
