Bio 204 Ch 2
1. four classes of biomolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids
2. elements in carbohydrates: Oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon in a 1:2:1 ratio (no nitrogen)
3. what biomolecule tends to have a lot of OH groups: carbohydrates
4. elements in lipids: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (no nitrogen)
5. what distinguishes the elements in lipids and carbohydrates: lipids have very few
oxygen molecules
6. what biomolecule has a glycerol backbone (3 carbon chain with OH groups)-
: lipids
7. what biomolecule has an N-C-C backbone: protein
8. what elements are in protein: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen (sometimes sulfur)
9. each N-C-C backbone in protein compises an: amino acid
1/2
