Biomolecules
Understanding structure and function of Biomolecules
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Made of Carbon , Hydrogen, and Oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio. Simple sugars that provide quick energy. Example: glucose or cellulose. | Carbohydrate |
| any of a class of organic compounds that are fatty acids or their derivatives and are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They include many natural oils, waxes, and steroids. | Lipid |
| any of a class of nitrogenous organic compounds that consist of large molecules composed of one or more long chains of amino acids and are an essential part of all living organisms | Protein |
| a substance produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction. | Enzyme |
| a substance that can be added to a reaction to increase the reaction rate without getting consumed in the process. | Catalyst |
| the main information-carrying molecules of the cell, and, by directing the process of protein synthesis, they determine the inherited characteristics of every living thing. The two main classes of nucleic acids are DNA & RNA. | Nucleic Acids |
| Fats oils and waxes | Lipids |
| Glucose, sucrose, cellulose and starch | Carbohydrates |
| chains of amino acids | Proteins |
| What is the main component of a biomolecule that makes it organic? | Carbon atom |
| Very long chains of complex carbohydrates that are found in plants like a potato? | starch |
| 20 different amino acids make up all of the ________________? | proteins |

| A fatty substance that can build up in the blood vessels of humans that eat very unhealthy foods and high in saturated fats? | Cholesterol |
| Proteins that Protect your body from infection in your blood | antibodies |
| All of the thousands of chemical reactions that take place in your body? | metabolism |
| Contains Ribose Sugar and Uracil | RNA |
| Contains Deoxyribose sugar and Thymine | DNA |
| Phosphate, sugar base | nucleotide |
| Enzymes bind with the substrate at the enzyme's _______________ site? | active |
| Lowers the activation energy and speeds up a chemical reaction? | enzyme |
