Organic Moles.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Carbohydrates | are organic macromolecules that are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. These atoms are combined in a ratio of1 carbon atom : 2 hydrogen atoms : 1 oxygen atom |
| Simple carbohydrates are also known as | monosaccharides |
| polysaccharides | Monosaccharides can be combined to form more complex carbohydrates known as |
| Glycogen, starch, and cellulose are all examples of | polysaccharides |
| Nucleic acids are formed from | nucleotide monomers |
| Nucleotides | are chemical compounds that are primarily comprised of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus. They consist of a five-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base, and one or more phosphate groups. |
| DNA | stores genetic information and encodes the sequences of all the cell's proteins |
| RNA | is involved in the direct production of the proteins |
| Lipids | are organic macromolecules that are insoluble in water |
| The most important lipids | are fats |
| Triglycerides are a type of fat that contain | one glycerol molecule and three fatty acids. |
| Proteins are organic macromolecules that are composed of | amino acid monomers |
| These amino acids are made up of the elements | carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Some of the amino acids also contain sulfur. |
| Hormones | are protein-containing substances that play a role in the regulation of cellular functions |
| The folds make pockets called | active sites |
| Substances containing proteins that play a role in defense are | antibodies |
| Other proteins known as | enzymes (can also help speed up cellular reactions) |
| A group of atoms that is held together by covalent bonds is known as a | molecule |
| If bonding occurs between two or more carbon atoms, the group is known as an | organic molecule |
| Macromolecules | are groups of molecules that are joined together. |
| There are four main macromolecules of life | carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins |
| Sugars such as | glucose, fructose, and ribose are all examples of monosaccharides. |
| Cellulose | is a major component found in the cell walls of plants. |
| Saturated fats are found in | butter, cheese, chocolate, beef, and coconut oil |
| Unsaturated fats are found in | olives and olive oil, peanuts and peanut oil, fish, and mayonnaise. |
