Carbohydrates
The primary function of carbohydrates in organisms.
What is energy?
This is the monomer of a lipid.
What is a fatty acid?
This is the monomer of nucleic acids.
What is a nucleotide?
The building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
The lab experiment exploring enzymes.
What is Elephant’s Toothpaste Experiment?
These carbohydrates are made of two monomers.
What are disaccharides?
The number of tails in a triglyceride.
What lipid has three tails?
The four base pairs in DNA.
What are adenine-thymine (A-T) and cytosine-guanine (C-G)?
This protein catalyzes chemical reactions.
What is enzyme?
Iodine is used to test for this.
What is starch?
This polysaccharide is used by plants for structural support.
What is cellulose?
This lipid forms the bilayer of cell membranes.
What is a phospholipid?
The four base pairs in RNA
What are adenine-uracil (A-U) and cytosine-guanine (C-G)?
This is the percentage of your dry body weight that is protein.
What is 50%?
More of this increases the Elephant’s Toothpaste reaction.
What is hydrogen peroxide (substrate)?
Where carbohydrates are stored in animals.
What is the liver?
The characteristic of lipids that makes them repel water.
What is hydrophobic?
The three locations DNA can be found in a cell.
What are the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplast?
This protein breaks down lactose.
What is lactase?
The biomolecule(s) found in milk straight from a cow.
What are lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids?
These two monomers make up sucrose (table sugar).
What is glucose and fructose?
These lipids are used for energy storage.
What are triglycerides?
The sugar found in the backbone of RNA.
What is ribose?
The level of protein structure characterized by alpha helices and beta sheets.
What is secondary structure?
The reason milk straight from a cow will separate into milk and cream.
