HS Info about Macromolecules in Biology

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
These monomers can stack to build carbohydrates   Monosaccharides  
🗑
Amino acids joined by peptide bonds form these molecules   Proteins  
🗑
These molecules can build structures in a cell,assist in transport across the cell membrane, or increase the rate of chemical reactions.   Proteins  
🗑
DNA and RNA are formed from these monomers   Nucleotides  
🗑
Plants store energy in the form of this carbohydrate   Starch  
🗑
When you consume protein, your body can break it down to get these monomers   Amino acids  
🗑
These long chains of carbon and hydrogen often connect to glycerol to form lipids   Fatty acids  
🗑
Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are the primary elements in what biomolecules   Carbohydrates and lipids  
🗑
What four nucleotides are found in DNA   Adenine, guanine, cytosine, thiamine  
🗑
Animals in cold environments often form a layer of blubber to keep warm. What biological molecule would this be classified as   Lipids  
🗑
Eating what type of biological molecule would probably raise your blood glucose levels   Carbohydrates  
🗑
The primary function of this molecule is to store information about protein structure   Nucleic acids  
🗑
This type of polypeptide lowers activation energy to act as a catalyst for metabolic reactions   Enzymes  
🗑
This polysaccharide is the most common type found on earth due to its presence in cell walls.   Cellulose  
🗑
A molecule found in saliva is called amylase. Based on its name, what type of molecule is it most likely to be?   Protein (enzyme)  
🗑
This monomer serves as a source of short-term energy for most living things   Glucose  
🗑
The substance or substances which an enzyme specifically affects is called this   Substrate  
🗑
If you cannot produce a particular enzyme, what monomer might you be missing   An amino acid  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
