Name 3 types of foods that are made of carbs

bread, pasta, sugars, potatoes, corn, etc.

100
Building blocks of proteins are?
What is amino acids
100
Monomer of Lipids?
What is fatty acids
100

What is the reaction called that breaks down polymers into monomers?

Hydrolysis

200

What is a carbohydrate polymer called?

Polysaccharide

200
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen make up this macromolecule?
What is a protein
200
Name 2 main functions of lipids in the human body

provide long term energy/storage, insulation, controls water/molecule movement in cells

200
Explain the different meanings of the word organic?
What is organic in a scientific terms means, made with CARBON. Ecological terms organic means NOT made with insecticides, pesticides, antibiotics, fed natural food
300

Monomer of carbs is...? Give an example

Monosaccharide. Glucose, fructose, galactose

300
Amino acids are held together by ?
What is Peptide bonds
300
Monomer of nucleic acids are?
What is Nucleotides
300

What is the process that adds monomers together to make a polymer?

Dehydration Synthesis

400

List 2 polysaccarides found in plants

What is starch and cellulose

400
List the 3 types of proteins and give an example of each
What is Structural, Carrier and regulator cytoskeleton, transmembrane, enzymes
400
What is the function of DNA and RNA
What is DNA holds our genetic material and RNA helps to make/synthesize proteins
400
Function of Enzymes
What is they speed up chemical reactions, act as a catalyst, provide the activation energy needed to jump start a reaction
500

How much energy are in Carbs? Fats? Proteins?

4cal/g carbs. 4cal/g proteins. 9cal/g lipids

500
Describe why there can be so many different functions of proteins.

structure = function. Many different amino acids. The order/length/type of amino acids used can change the structure of the protein, therefore changing the function.

500
How do lipids help the cell membrane?
What is a phospholipid contains 2 fatty acid tails which are hydrophobic and prevent water from freely passing through the membrane

Your body needs energy. Which macromolecule is used 1st? 2nd? 3rd? Not at all?

Carbs = short term energy, Lipids = long term

Proteins = Last chance for energy, Nucleic acids = do not give energy
