The building blocks
(monomers) of carbohydrates
What are monosaccharides?
Home Page
Two sugars
What are disaccharides?
Home Page
The two functions of
carbohydrates
What are
1. Quick Energy
and
2. Structure?
Home Page
The polysaccharide found in an animal’s
liver and muscle (Hint: not starch)
What is glycogen?
Home Page
The hydrolysis of this molecule (with the help of enzymes)
breaks a bond and releases energy for
the cell to use.
What is:
ATP ADP
Home Page
A polysaccharide that makes up plant cell walls; a linear structure of thousands of linked glucoses;the most common organic molecule on Earth
What is a cellulose?
Home Page
Building block (monomer) of
most lipids
What are fatty acids?
Home Page
The function of lipids
What is a long term energy storage?
Home Page
Fatty acids that are straight chains, solid at room
temperature and usually unhealthy
What are saturated fatty acids?
SATURATED UNSATURATED
Home Page
This diagram is an example of a special
“class” of lipids (without a fatty acid / glycerol
structure)
What are steroids?
Home Page
Testosterone: an androgen, male sex hormone synthesized in the testes, responsible for secondary male sex characteristics, produced from progesterone
Estradiol: an estrogen, principal female sex hormone, produced in the ovary, responsible for secondary female sex characteristics
The building block (monomer)of nucleic acids; made of a 5
carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a
nitrogenous base
What is a nucleotide?
Home Page
The two major types of
nucleic acids
What are DNA and RNA?
Home Page
The four types of nitrogenous bases
(found in RNA)
What are (A)denine, (G)uanine, (C)ytosine,
and (U)racil
Home Page
The function of nucleic
acids
What is
1)Store information and/or 2)Transfer information
(to make proteins)?
Home Page
(Of carbohydrates and lipids), the one
that is soluble in water
What are carbohydrates
Home Page
There are 20 different types of these that make
up proteins.
What are amino acids?
Home Page
The bond that joins the
polypeptide building blocks
together
What is a peptide bond?
Home Page
A type of protein that changes the rate
(lowers the activation energy)of chemical
reactions in the body
What is an enzyme?
Home Page
This is the basic structure (draw it) for all amino acids
What is:
Home Page
All organic molecules contain
this element
What is Carbon?
Home Page
The type of reaction that breaks
polymers down into monomers (by adding water)
What is a hydrolysis reaction?
Home Page
The four types of organic molecules (macromolecules)
What are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and
nucleic acids
Home Page
An example of a lipid found in cell membranes
What is
A phospholipid
Home Page
It is the word that describes the ability
of a substance to dissolve in another
What is solubility?
Home Page
It determines the behavior
and the function of a protein
What is the sequence of amino acids
Home Page
Daily Double
It is the part of the amino acid that determines
its shape
What is the variable “R” group
Home Page
