Macromolecules Questions and Answers 100% Pass

Macromolecules Questions and Answers 100% Pass what happens during dehydration synthesis? two hydrogen and one oxygen gets removed from the molecule and that forms into a water molecule and taking water away from it dehydrates it. whats Anabolic reaction? the process to build new molecules and/or store energy. whats Catabolic reaction? the process to breakdown complex organic molecules into simpler substances. How many electrons does C have that need "a partner"? 4 What is a macromolecule? a "giant molecule" Carbon is found in all known forms of life. Why are carbon atoms uniquely suited to forming macromolecules such as those found in living organisms? They can bond with many things and they have 4 valence electrons and they only need 4 more e to fill the outer shell. They also can form chains that are unlimited in length. .Use the terms monomer and polymer to explain how do macromolecules form? What term describes this process? Macromolecules are made from thousands/hundred of thousands of smaller molecules(monomers). They are formed by a process called polymerization. Polymerization is the process by which large compounds are built by joining smaller ones together, or monomers coming together to make polymers. Mono 1 Di 2 Poly Many. What elements are found in all of the macromolecules? CHO- Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. which macromolecules only contain CHO? Carbohydrates and Lipids. What macromolecule contains CHON? Proteins. What macromolecule contains CHONP? Nucleic Acid. What are amino acids a monomer for? Proteins. What are monosaccharides a monomer for? Carbohydrates. What are nucleotides a monomer for? Nucleic Acids. DNA/RNA? Nucleic Acids. What similarities do the macromolecules share? They are all giant molecules, they all are made out of smaller molecules, they get dehydrated and that makes them become a macromolecule, carbon is the base. The term saturated means? The term saturated means the fatty acid contain the max possible number of hydrogen atoms. If there is at least one carbon-carbon double bond in a fatty acid, what is the fatty acid considered? Unsaturated. What are polymers, assembled from individual monomers known as nucleotides? Nucleic Acids. What are polymers of molecules called amino acids and they are also considered the most divers macromolecule? Proteins. What are not soluble in water? Lipids. The large macromolecules formed from monosaccharides are known as? Polysaccharides. We store extra sugar as complex carbohydrates known as? Starches. We use carbohydrates as our main source of? Energy. Plants and some animals use carbohydrates for? Structural purposes. Organic chemistry is the study of? all compounds that contain bonds between carbon atoms. What is Carbohydrates normal ratio? 1:2:1
