TEAS 7-Biology9
Monomers - ANSWERSsmall molecular building blocks of polymers
Endothermic Reaction - ANSWERSA reaction that ABSORBS energy in the form of heat
Hydrolysis - 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? - ANSWERSEndothermic reaction
called dehydration
The breakdown of macromolecules is what kind of reaction? - ANSWERSExothermic reaction
called hydrolysis
4 Types of Macromolecules - ANSWERScarbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids
Macromolecules are also known as - ANSWERSbiopolymers
Simplest unit of a carbohydrate - ANSWERSmonosaccharide
At the molecular level, carbohydrates contain - ANSWERSCarbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
Glucose - ANSWERSA very common carbohydrate monomer that exists as a hexose (meaning it
has 6 carbons in it).
, Carbohydrate monomers tend to end in - ANSWERS-ose
Carbohydrate functions in living systems - ANSWERS1. storage
2. structure
3. communication/recognition
Plants use carbohydrates in the form of - ANSWERScellulose
chitin - ANSWERScarbohydrate used by fungi to add structure to their cell wall and by
insects/anthropods in their exoskeleton
Glycoprotein - 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
