What are the two components of lipids?
What is fatty acids and glycerol
Nucleic acids are made of what elements
What is Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus
What is the primary structure of proteins?
What is the sequence of amino acids and it is unique for each protein
What are Organic Molecules?
What is molecules that contain Carbon
What are monosaccharides?
What is simple sugars like glucose and fructose
The 3 functions of lipids are
What is long-term energy storage, biological membranes, and waterproof coverings
Nucleotide is...
What is the monomer of nucleic acids
What are amino acids?
What is amino acids are the monomers of proteins
The 5 elements that make up biological molecules are
What is Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorous
(Bonus point if you include the 6th: Sulfur)
Carbohydrates 2 functions are...
What is the main source of energy and structural purposes
Saturated fats are...
What is has no double bonds and has all the hydrogen atoms that it can hold. It is solid at room temperature
What is DNA?
What is DNA is like the instructions for proteins
What are the functions of proteins?
What is control reaction rates, move substances in/out of cells, control timing of cell processes, help fight disease, and aid in cell recognition
Carbon bonds to other Carbon to create
What is Macromolecules
What are polysaccharides?
What is complex carbohydrates like starch, cellulose, and glycogen
Unsaturated Fats are...
What is they have double bonds and they can hold more hydrogen atoms. They are liquid at room temperature.
What is RNA
What is RNA builds proteins
What is the difference between Quaternary Structure and Secondary structure?
What is Quaternary structure is proteins that are made up of more than one polypeptide chain. Secondary structure is hydrogen bonding that produces alpha helix or beta pleated sheets.
Polymerization is
What is polymerization is the process where macromolecules are assembled
What is cellulose and glycogen and what is their purpose?
What is cellulose and glycogen are both polysaccharides. Cellulose is fiber which our bodies can't disgust, and it serves as structure for plants. Glycogen is energy that is stored in the liver and muscles in animals.
What is the phosphate group?
What is a functional group that has one phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms. A lipid containing a phosphate group in its molecule is called a Phospholipids.
The 3 nucleotide acid functions are
What is carriers energy(ATP), chemical messengers (carry information), and the building blocks for nucleic acids(DNA, RNA)
What are peptide bonds?
What is condensation reaction links amino groups of one amino acid with carboxyl group of the next
What forms polymers from monomers? What breaks them apart?
What is Condensation Reactions forms polymers from monomers, and Hydrolysis breaks apart polymers
