Macromolecules that primarily function as chemical messengers, make up waterproof coverings, create biological membranes, and store energy long term.
What are lipids?
These are the bonds that hold water molecules together
What are hydrogen bonds?
All organic molecules contain this element.
What are carbon?
If a person ate pizza for lunch, which macromolecules did they eat? There is dough, tomato sauce, cheese and pepperoni in the pizza.
What are carbohydrates, lipids, and protein?
Macromolecules that have fatty acids as monomers and triglyceride as polymers.
What are lipids?
Macromolecules that primarily function as short term energy sources and structural support, like plant cell walls
What are carbohydrates?
Water resists changes in temperature by absorbing heat energy
What is high specific heat or high heat capacity?
This monomer looks like a 6-sided hexagon
What is a monosaccharide?
What type of macromolecule is an enzyme?
What is protein?
Macromolecules that have monosaccharides as monomers and polysaccharides as polymers.
What are carbohydrates?
Macromolecules that primarily function as structural support in humans and plants. This type of macromolecule makes up our muscles.
What are proteins?
the substance that is dissolves in solution
What is the solute?
Macromolecules that are shaped like the letter E and are made up of a glycerol and three fatty acids
What are lipids?
A macromolecule group that has saturated and unsaturated fats.
What are lipids?
Macromolecules that have amino acids as monomers and polypeptides as polymers.
What are proteins?
Macromolecules that transfer genetic codes.
What are nucleic acids?
these two properties of water make it possible for water to climb up the xylem of a plant
What are cohesion and adhesion?
The macromolecules that contain a phosphate group.
What are Nucleic Acids?
The monomer for DNA and RNA
What are nucleotides?
Macromolecules that have nucleotides as the monomers and DNA/RNA as polymers.
What are nucleic acids?
very large polymer, made up of smaller structural units called monomers
What are macromolecules?
this is why ice floats in water
What is density?
These macromolecules are made up of monomers called amino acids
What are proteins?
These macromolecules can be found in egg whites, walnuts, and milk.
What are proteins?
The macromolecule has starch as a polymer.
What are carbohydrates?
