Proteins
What monomers are protiens made up off?
Amino Acids
Simple sugars, such as glucose, are called
Monosaccharides
Lipids are made up of mostly
Carbon and Hydrogen
Nucleic acids are polymers made from
Nucleotides
Macromolecules are large molecules made from smaller units called
Monomers
Amino acids are linked together by this type of covalent bond
Peptide bond
A polymer made of many monosaccharides is called this
Polysaccharide
A fat molecule forms when glycerol combines with x many fatty acids
X=3
Nucleic acids store and transmit this type of information
Hereditary or genetic information
The process of joining monomers to form polymers is called
Polymerization
This level of protein structure is the sequence of amino acids
Plants store excess glucose as
starch
Lipids that are solid at room temperature are usually
Saturated
Each nucleotide is made of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and
A nitrogenous base
Carbon atoms can form X many covalent bonds.
X=4
How many levels of structure do protiens have?
Four (primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary)
The polysaccharide that gives plants strength and rigidity is called
Cellulose
Lipids that contain double bonds and are liquid at room temperature are
Unsaturated
Nucleotides such as ATP help do this in cells
Capture and transfer chemical energy
The four major groups of macromolecules are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and
Nucleic Acids
Proteins that function in controlling reactions and regulating cell processes are called
Enzymes
Table sugar is composed of glucose and
Fructose
Lipids such as steroids serve this function in the body
Chemical messengers
DNA contains X, while RNA contains Y
(Hint: Both are sugars)
X: Deoxyribose.
Y: Ribose
Carbon can bond to itself to form single, double, or triple bonds and can even create these circular structures.
