UKY BIO 152 EXAM 1 – DANLEY
WITH CORRECT ANSWERS 2025
Biological Molecule correct answers >> a molecule made by
a living organism that contains carbon as its backbone, usually 2
or more carbons
(proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids)
Monomer correct answers >> molecule made of a single
building block, very simple
Polymer correct answers >> a larger molecule that is made
of of 2 or more monomers
Hydrophilic correct answers >> types of molecules that are
water loving and dissolve in water easily
Hydrophobic correct answers >> types of molecules that do
not dissolve in water well
Function correct answers >> the job or what that molecule
does
Saturated correct answers >> each carbon along the
backbone has the max number of hydrogens hanging off
, Unsaturated correct answers >> one or more carbons along
the backbone have let go of hydrogens and formed one or more
double bonds with neighbor carbon which results in it having less
than the maximum number of hydrogens
Hydrocarbon correct answers >> a long backbone of carbons
with nothing but hydrogens hang off... no overall charge and
hydrophobic
Carbohydrates correct answers >> - repeating units of C-H20
- provide structural support and identification
- hydrophilic
Lipids correct answers >> - long chains of C-H2
(hydrocarbons)
- hydrophobic
- signals molecules
Fatty Acid Tails correct answers >> - sub class of lipids
- can be saturated or unsaturated
Proteins correct answers >> - made from long chains of
amino acids (monomers) that have undergone guided folding and
assembly processing
- typically hydrophilic
receptors, structure, transport
