Proteins
What are proteins monomers called?
amino acids
What are the monomers of nucleic acids?
nucleotides
What are the monomer for carbohydrates?
monosaccharides/ simple sugars/ glucose
What are the lipid monomers?
glycerol and fatty acid.
When did Ms. 3atika join RBS?
2023
Which bond holds amino acids together?
polypeptide bond
List the five elements that make the nucleic acids.
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorous
Mention two functions of carbohydrates.
1. main source of energy
2. make up the plasma membrane ( structural purpose)
3. make up plants cell wall
What three elements are commonly found in lipids?
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Ms. 3atika had a pet that she was allergic to, what is this pet + what was its kind?
the pet is cat
scottish fold
Mention 4 portions functions
1. act as enzymes to speed chemical reactions. (digestion)
2. make up the antibodies (immune system)
3. muscle contraction and movement
4.make up hair, nail, & skin.
5. transportation of materials
Describe a nucleotide structure.
a nucleotide has a phosphate group, sugar, and a nitrogenous base
What are monosaccharides? Give two examples.
simple or single sugars.
Examples are:
glucose, fructose and galactose.
Mention 4 functions of lipids.
1.long term energy (stored energy)
2. make the cell membrane
3. make up hormones ( chemical messangers)
4.internal organ protection
In Bio II class, who's Ms. 3atika's favorite student?
everyone 6ab3an 💙
What makes up the structure of an amino acid?
What differs in each amino acid? what do they have in common?
1. carboxyl group, H, C, & amino group (R group)
2. all amino acids differ in the R group but every other components are the same
What are the polymers of nucleic acids?
DNA and RNA
What are polysaccharides? Examples? Where to find them?
polysaccharides are complex sugars formed from simple sugars joining together.
Ex: cellulose: plants
starch: plants
glycogen: animals
Mention three structural difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids?
Unsaturated fatty acids: double bonds, liquid at room temp. +plant based + healthy.
saturated fatty acids: single bond, solid at room temp. + animal based + overuse = heart diseases.
What business does Ms.3atika consider when she is done teaching?
opening a clothes boutique
What chemical compounds or functional groups can R groups be in an amino acid structure?
acid
base
polar molecules
non-polar molecules
Two proteins contain the same amino acids but perform different functions. How is this possible?
The amino acids may be arranged in different sequences, producing different shapes and functions for the protein.
Mention one type of disaccharides + two sources of it.
sucrose, found in honey & table sugar
Plasma membrane has both saturated & unsaturated fat as part of its normal structure. Predict what might happen if the plasma membrane has only saturated fat?
it will become excessively rigid & lose its flexibility.
