TEAS 7-Biology question and correct
answers Grade A+
Monomers - correct answerssmall molecular building blocks of polymers
Endothermic Reaction - correct answersA reaction that ABSORBS energy in the form of heat
Hydrolysis - correct answersa chemical reaction that adds water to a macromolecule in order to break its
covalent bond; key component in digestion
The creation of macromolecules is what kind of reaction? - correct answersEndothermic reaction called
dehydration
The breakdown of macromolecules is what kind of reaction? - correct answersExothermic reaction
called hydrolysis
4 Types of Macromolecules - correct answerscarbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids
Macromolecules are also known as - correct answersbiopolymers
Simplest unit of a carbohydrate - correct answersmonosaccharide
At the molecular level, carbohydrates contain - correct answersCarbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
, Glucose - correct answersA very common carbohydrate monomer that exists as a hexose (meaning it
has 6 carbons in it).
Carbohydrate monomers tend to end in - correct answers-ose
Carbohydrate functions in living systems - correct answers1. storage

Plants use carbohydrates in the form of - correct answerscellulose
chitin - correct answerscarbohydrate used by fungi to add structure to their cell wall and by
insects/anthropods in their exoskeleton
Glycoprotein - correct answersA protein with one or more carbohydrates covalently attached to it, used
by the human body for cellular recognition. Oligosaccharide with amino acids attached that attaches to
a cell's lipid membrane in cellular recognition; antibody, immunoglobulin
