macromolecule jeopardy!!!

carbs

100

the monomer of carbohydrates, such as glucose or fructose

monosaccharide (simple sugar)

200

this structural polysaccharide makes up the tough cell walls of plant cells

cellulose

300

these are the three main elements associated with polysaccharides

carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen

400

this polysaccharide is composed of one glucose and one galactose molecule, which is commonly found in milk

lactose

500

this nutritional example of a polysaccharide is commonly associated with being highly complex and difficult to break down

rice

lipids

100

lipids are crucial for providing long term energy storage, forming cell membranes, and also... 

insulation

200

unlike other macromolecules, lipids are referred to as being this physical property, which means they do not mix well with water

hydrophobic/nonpolar

300

this is the primary component of cell membranes, forming a semi-permeable bilayer

phospholipid

400

this is the most common type of fat in the body, commonly monitored during your annual physical exam

triglycerides/cholesterol 

500

type of lipid that has a carbon skeleton with four closed rings, which can be injected as a supplement such as testosterone

steroids

proteins

100

this monomer is known for containing an amine, carboxyl group, and a variable R-group attached to a carbon backbone

amino acids

200

these are biological catalysts made of protein that speed up chemical reactions

enzymes

300

this is the type of bond that holds amino acids together, forming proteins

peptide bonds

400

this is the name of the protein which is found in hard structures such as hair, nails, and outer skin layers

keratin

500

this is the element that is a key chemical feature which differentiates proteins from the other macromolecules

nitrogen

nucleic acids

100

the monomer of nucleic acids, which consists of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base

nucleotide

200

this is the double stranded nucleic acid that stores genetic instructions in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells

DNA

300

this nitrogenous base is present in RNA instead of thymine

uracil

400

this is the nitrogenous base which matches with guanine

cytosine

500

this is the name of the 5 carbon sugar that's associated with DNA

deoxyribose

polymers

100

this is the high-energy molecule that serves as the immediate currency for energy

ATP

200

this is the type of macromolecule that animals living in cold climates have which help with thermal insulation

lipids

300

this is an example of an inorganic molecule that is considered an essential molecule of life

water/carbon dioxide/minerals/vitamins

400

fats carry more than twice the amount of THIS per gram compared to carbohydrates

calories

500

this red, iron containing protein found in red blood cells carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body

hemoglobin
