Organic compound
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Organic compound | A chemical substance created within an organism |
| Carbohydrate | An organic compound containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen that supply the energy living systems need to survive |
| Lipid | In organic compound produced for storing energy |
| Protein | An organic compound making up muscles enzymes in other organs in the body |
| Nucleic acid | an organ compound used to store genetic information. |
| Fatty acid | Molecule in which carbon atoms are bonded to hydrogen atoms or other groups of atoms. |
| Amino acid | Small molecule that is a building block of proteins. |
| Nucleotide | Small molecule containing a sugar phosphate group and base that is a building block of nucleic acids. |
| Complementary base pair | Pair of nucleotide bases that bond together. |
| What is the function of carbohydrates | They provide energy to cells, stores, energy, forms, body structures |
| What are examples of carbohydrates? | Sugars, starches |
| What are the functions of lipids? | They store energy , form cell membranes, and carry messages |
| What are examples of lipids? | Fats, oils |
| What are functions of proteins? | They help cells? Keep their shape, make up muscles, speed up, chemical reactions, and carry messages and materials. |
| What are examples of proteins? | Enzymes, antibodies |
| What are the functions of nucleic acids? | They contain instructions for proteins, pass instructions from parents to offspring, help make proteins |
| What are examples of nucleic acids? | DNA, RNA |
| What is the most common type of organic compound? | Carbohydrates |
| These are built of small repeated units that combined to make a larger molecule | Carbohydrates |
| These are made up of fatty acids either saturated or unsaturated | Lipids |
| What do lipids include? | Triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids |
| What are triglycerides? | The main form of stored energy and animals |
| What are phospholipids? | The major components of cell membranes |
| What are steroids? | Serve as a chemical messengers and have other roles |
| What are nucleic acids made up of? | Nucleotides |
| What are nucleotides made up of? | Sugar, phosphate group, nitrogen base |
| What are the five different types of nitrogen bases? | Cytosine, adenine, guanine, and either thymine or Uriacil |
| What is one way that sells use water? | to keep their shape |
| Why do living things store, energy and lipids instead of in carbohydrates? | Lipids provide more than twice the amount of energy and carbohydrates do |
| What elements are found in nucleic acid? | Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen |
| What elements are found in lipids? | Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen |
| What elements are found in protein? | Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen and sometimes sulfur |
| What elements make up carbohydrates? | Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen |
| What are elements? | Pure substances composed of only one type of atom |
| What are compounds? | They are formed when two or more different elements combined |
| What is an enzyme? | control chemical reactions |
| What are carbohydrates | Energy, rich, organic compounds |
| What is carbon? | an element that is part of most organic compounds |
| What is water? | an inorganic compound |
| What is oxygen? | an element found in water |
| Sugars and starches are examples of this | Carbohydrates |
| These are part of cell membranes and store energy | Lipids |
| This helps control a chemical reaction | Enzyme |
| What does nucleic acid do? | They direct cell functions |
| What makes up 60% of the human body | Water |
| What foods are high in protein? | Meat, dairy products, fish, nuts, and beans |
