What are the strongest and weakest bonds
Weakest-hydrogen bonds
Strongest-Ionic bonds
Why are molecules part of lipids?
BEcause they are made up of fatty acids
What are the bonds called that hold together amino acids
peptide bonds
what element is needed for a molecule to be considered organic?
Carbon
Name the DNA and RNA bases
DNA bases, C pairs with G,A pairs with T
RNA bases, A,G,C,U
how do you know that there is a chemical reaction?
bonds are broken and reformed to make new substances
Why are lipids needed for the 4 macromolecules?
lipids provide a source of long term energy that keeps are system working and keeping is healthy
what is so important about proteins being apart of the 4 macromolecules
Proteins help because without proteins humans wouldn't be able to stand walk and move around
Why are Carbs needed in teh 4 macromolecules?
Carbs give you energy which helps your body keep running
Name all 3 functions for nucleic acids and what they do
DNA-stores genetic information
RNA-Transmits genetic information
ATP-Stores and transfers energy within cells
In general why are all the 4 macromolecules so important for us?
They all have there own part in keeping us alive and healthy and keep are body running
