Unit II- Biomolecules
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| biomolecules | large molecules needed to support all life |
| 4 types of biomolcules | lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids |
| types of nucleic acid | DNA, RNA, tRNA, mRNA |
| lipid building blocks | fatty acids |
| protein building blocks | amino acids |
| number of types of amino acids | 20 |
| carbohydrate building blocks | saccharides (sugars) |
| one simple sugar | monosaccharide |
| two simple sugars bonded together | disaccharide |
| complex sugar (many monosaccharides bonded together) | polysaccharide |
| example of complex sugar | starch |
| bond that holds amino acids together | peptide bond |
| elements contained in all proteins | C H O N (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen) |
| building blocks of nucleic acids | nucleotides |
| function of proteins | building structere and metabolism (aids in digestion) |
| function of carbohydrates | release energy |
| function of lipids | insulation, energy storage |
| function of nucleic acids | tore and transmit genetic information and use that information to direct the synthesis of new protein |
| one or more atoms bond together to form this | molecule |
| function of enzymes | speed up reactions (such as digestion) |
| enzymes are this type of biomolecule | proteins |
| all organic compounds contain | carbon |
| factors that can affect enzyme activity | temperature, pH, bonding ability |
| what do enzymes to the activation enrgy of a chemical reactions? | lower the activation energy |
| Nucleic acids contain these elements | C H O N P (carbon,hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphate) |
| 3 parts of a nucleotide | phosphate, sugar, base |
| change in the shape of a protein due to temperature change, bonding conditions, or change in pH | denaturation |
| monomer of proteins | amino acids |
| monomer of nucleic acids | nucleotide |
| 4 bases in DNA | A G C T (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine) |
| type of sugar in DNA | deoxyribose |
| type of sugar in RNA | ribose |
| general term for something that speeds up a reaction | catalyst |
| all enzymes end in this suffix | -ase |
| all sugars end in this suffix | -ose |
| bio- means | life |
| 2 other names for biomolecules | life substances & macromolecules |
| large molecule formed when many monomers bond together | polymer |
| elements that make up all carbohydrates | C H O (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen) |
| ratio of C H O in all carbohydrates | 1:2:1 (One carbon, two hydrogen, 1 oxygen) |
| monomer of carbohydrate | monosaccharide |
| two monosaccharides make this | disacchaeride |
| many disaccharides make up | polysaccharide |
| made by plants to store energy | starch |
| made by plants for their cell wall | cellulose |
| made by animals to store energy (a sugar) | glycogen |
| elements found in all lipids | C H, small amount of o (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen) |
| examples include oils, wax, and steroids | lipids |
| monomers of lipids | fatty acids & glycerol |
| lipid that contains one double bond between the carbons | unsaturated fat |
| lipid that contains NO double bonds between the carbons | saturated fat |
| lipid that contains more than one double bond between the carbons | polyunsaturated |
| the location on an enzyme that the substrate binds | active site |
| the amount of energy needed to start a reaction | activation energy |
