Carbohydrates
The monomer of carbohydrates is:
monosaccharide
Lipids provide this type of energy storage.
Long-Term energy
Proteins are made up of these building blocks
Amino Acids
Examples of this macromolecule include ________ and/or ________
DNA, RNA
The dependent variable is found on this axis.
Y-axis
Name one food that is rich in carbohydrates.
Bread, pasta, rice, fruit, candy etc
The building blocks of lipids.
Glycerol or Fatty Acids
Proteins contain this element that carbohydrates do not.
Nitrogen
The monomer of nucleic acids.
Nucleotide
In an enzyme activity graph, temperature is usually the __________ variable.
Independent
Carbohydrates are composed of these three elements
Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O)
This lipid-based structure helps form the cell's selectively permeable barrier.
Cell Membrane
This macromolecule is responsible for __________ growth and tissue ________.
muscle, repair
Nucleic acids store and transmit this type of information.
Genetic Information
Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering this.
Activation Energy
Athletes often "carb-load" before an event because carbohydrates provide this type of energy.
Quick or Fast energy
This lipid is found in cell membranes and helps maintain their structure.
Phospholipids
_____________ (organic catalysts) belong to this macromolecule group.
Enzymes
This element is found in nucleic acids but not in all other macromolecules.
Phosphorus
_________ happens when the increasing temperature or pH causes the enzyme to permanently lose its shape.
Denaturing
Two monosaccharides joined together form this type of carbohydrate.
Disaccharide
This type of fat is solid at room temperature (mostly animal fat)
Saturated Fat
The shape of a protein is important because it determines its __________.
function
This is the process by which information stored in a cell is used to produce proteins that determine traits.
On a graph of enzyme activity vs. pH, the highest point of the curve represents this concept.
Optimum pH
