Biomolecules

Starch

Starch

________ is a variant of this but is present as a storehouse of energy in plant tissues.

polysaccharide chain

In a(n) ________ (say glycogen), the right end is called the reducing end, and the left end is called the non- reducing end.

Collagen

Proteins

________ are heteropolymers containing strings of amino acids.

Metabolism

________ provides a mechanism for the production of energy.

deoxyribose

The sugar found in polynucleotides is either ribose (a monosaccharide pentose) or 2 ________.

polysaccharide

In a(n) ________, the individual monosaccharides are linked by a glycosidic bond.

distinct components

A nucleotide has three chemically ________.

Oils

________ have a lower melting point (e.g., gingelly ________) and hence remain as ________ in winter.

protein thread

A(n) ________ does not exist throughout as an extended rigid rod.

fatty acid

A(n) ________ has a carboxyl group attached to an R group.

homopolymer

A(n) ________ has only one type of monomer repeating ‘ n a number of times.

Plant cell walls

________ are made of cellulose.

threads

They are ________ (literally cotton ________) containing different monosaccharides as building blocks.

acid insoluble fraction

The ________ has only four types of organic compounds i.e., proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, and lipids.

steady state

The ________ is a non- equilibrium state.

long chains of sugars

Polysaccharides are ________.

peptide bond

In a polypeptide or a protein, amino acids are linked by a(n) ________ which is formed when the carboxyl- (COOH) group of one amino acid reacts with the amino- (NH2) group of the next amino acid with the elimination of a water moiety (the process is called dehydration)

acid soluble pool

insoluble fraction

The molecules in the ________ with the exception of lipids are polymeric substances.

Arachidonic acid

________ has 20 carbon atoms including carboxyl carbon.

elemental analysis

Therefore ________ gives the elemental composition of living tissues in the form of hydrogen, oxygen, chlorine, carbon, etc.

flow of metabolites

The ________ through the metabolic pathway has a definite rate and direction like automobile traffic.

nucleic acid

In a(n) ________, a phosphate moiety links the 3- carbon of one sugar of one nucleotide to the 5- carbon of the sugar of the succeeding nucleotide.

Lipids

________ are generally water- insoluble.
