The two major parts of a lipid.

What are the glycerol and fatty acid chains.

100

These four groups make up the major biological macromolecules found in living organisms.

What are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids?

200
The name for a polymer.
What is a polypeptide or protein?
200
Nucleic acids are made up of these elements...
What are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and sometimes Phosphorous?
200
The major function of carbohydrates.
What is short term energy?
200

Lipids have this key trait, meaning they do not dissolve in water.

What is hydrophobic?

200

These smaller molecules link together to form macromolecules such as polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids.

What are monomers?

300
A type of protein that speeds up chemical reactions.
What are Enzymes?
300
Three components of a nucleotide.
What are phosphate group, sugar, and a nitrogenous base?
300
Examples are glucose, fructose and galactose.
What are monosaccharides?
300
Two major functions of a lipid.
What are long term energy (stored energy) and to make cell membrane?
300

This macromolecule is responsible for most of the cell’s structure and work, including acting as enzymes.

What are proteins?

400

A change in DNA that may alter the amino acid sequence and protein structure is called this.

400
Examples are cellulose, starch and glycogen.
What are polysaccharides?
400
Elements found in lipids.
What are Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen?
400

These macromolecules store long-term energy and make up cell membranes.

What are lipids?

500
The functions of proteins
What are for Structural support, membranes, protection, catalysts (enzymes), transport, defense (anti-bodies), non-steriod hormones, regulation, movement (remember MEANS)
500

These weak bonds hold the two strands of DNA together between the nitrogen bases.

What are hydrogen bonds?

500

This carbohydrate forms plant cell walls and cannot be digested by humans.

What is cellulose?

500

These lipids act as chemical messengers in the body and include hormones like estrogen and testosterone.

What are steroids?

500
These lipids are found in the cell membrane.
What are phosphlipids?
