Question | Answer |
Carbohydrate | - molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
- include sugar and starches.
- CHO, 1:2:1 Ratio, C 6 H 12 O 6
d |
What are some examples of carbohydrates | - Pasta
- Bread
- Wheat |
Monosaccharides | - simple sugars in carbohydrat |
How many simple sugars are in a carbohydrate | - five or six carbon atoms |
Monomers | Each subunit in the complete molecule |
Polymer | Large molecule, or a macro molecule, made of many monomers bonded together. |
Lipids | -nonpolar molecules that include fats, oils, and cholesterol.
-most lipids contain chains of carbon atoms bonded to oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
- Some lipids are broken down as a source of usable energy for cell |
What is the job of lipids | store energy |
What are fatty acids | are chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. |
Protein | - is a polymer made of monomers called amino acids.
- CHON |
What is the job of protein | - Build, Repair, Maintain |
Amino acids | are molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur. |
How many amino acids are used to build proteins | Organisms use 20 different amino acids.
Body can make 12 of the amino acids
others come from foods such as meat, beans, and nuts |
Nucleic Acids | - are polymers that are made up of monomers called nucleo tides
- CHONP
- Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus |
Nucleotides | - composed of sugar
- phosphate group
- DNA & RNA. |
What is the job of Nucleic Acids | - Work together to make proteins. |
What is the relationship between a polymer and a monomer | - Monomers are sub units many of these monomers make up a large macro molecule called polymers |
Explain how both nucleic acids and proteins are polymers. Be sure to describe the monomers that make up the polymers | - Both are made up of monomers (protein - amino acids) (nucleic acids- nucleotide) |
How are carbohydrates and lipids similar? How are they different? | |
