Biology; Macromolecules with Complete Solutions
What are the four Macromolecules? - - and cellulose
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids
Examples of Lipids - -Fats, Oils, Waxes, Lipid
The Monomer of Carbohydrates - - Steroids (cholesterol), triglycerides, phospholipids
Monosaccharides (Galactose, Glucose or Fructose)
Examples of Proteins - -Enzymes, Hormones,
The Monomer of Proteins - -Amino Acids Antibodies, Hemoglobin, Collagen, keratin
The Monomer of Nucleic Acids - -Nucleotides Examples of Nucleic Acids - -DNA and RNA
The Monomer of Lipids - -Glycerol and Fatty Acid organic - -a molecule that contains carbon hydrogen
Chains (2-3) bonds
The Function of Carbohydrates - -Short-term or Four groups of organic molecules - -Carbohydrates,
immediate Energy Source proteins, nucleic acids, lipids
The Function of Lipids - -Long-term Energy Source 1.A. What are the major elements of life? - -Carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, and nitrogen.
The Function of Nucleic Acids - -Store and Transmit
your Genetic Information 1.B. What properties of carbon explain carbon's ability to
different large and complex structures? - -Carbon
can bond to itself, has 4 valence electrons, causing strong
The Function of Proteins - -1. Controls the Rates of covalent bonds to occur between carbon and another
Reactions element.
2. Fights Diseases
3. Forms Cell Structures
4. Regulates Cell Processes 2.A. Name four groups of organic compounds found in
5. Transports stuff In/Out of the Cell living things. - -Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and
nucleic acids.
Examples of Carbohydrates - -Monosaccharides -
Glucose, Fructose 2.B. Describe at least one function of each group of
Disaccharides organic compound. - -Carbohydrates: main source
Polysaccharides of energy for plants and animals; proteins: regulation of
cellular transportation of materials, cellular processes,
formation of structures, and anti-bodies; lipids: storage of
monosaccharides - -glucose, fructose energy; storage or transmission of genetic information.
disaccharides examples - -sucrose (glucose + 2.C. Why are proteins considered polymers but lipids not?
fructose) - -Proteins have long chains of monomers, but lipids
maltose (glucose + glucose) do NOT made up of components that make up a chain.
lactose (galactose + glucose)
3.A. What atoms constitute the compound above? -
examples of polysaccharides - -glycogen, starch, -Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
