Bio Chemistry Section 3

Macromolecules are formed by-

Polymerization

What is the polymer of Carbohydrate is called?

Monosaccharide

Chitin and Cellulose are considered structural polymers of this macromolecule  

Carbohydrate

are made of glycerol and fatty acids  

Lipids

What kind of macromolecule are Enzyme 

Protein

Muscles, nails, and hair are examples of this macromolecule

Protein

Which macromolecule is main source of energy for us?

Carbohydrate

Which macromolecule is used for storing energy for long time?

Lipid

Water is removed to join Monomers to form polymers in a process called

Dehyrdation synthesis

Water is added, Polymers are broken down into Monomers by a process called

Hydrolysis

Carbohydrates are used for

main source of energy

What are the different types of saccharide for a monomer?

Monosaccharide, Disaccharide, Polysaccharide

Disaccharide

2 monosaccharides bonded

Polysaccharide

giant Polymers of linked monosaccharides

Lipids are used for

Long term energy storage

Lipids are apart of-

The biological membrane

The Biological membrane is made up of-

Phoshpolipids

Phospholipids are formed by-

bonding Glycerol with a Fatty Acid Chain

Hydrophilic head means

Water loving and attracts water molecules, helping to form the structure of biological membranes.

Hydrophobic Tail

Water fearing and repels water molecules, providing stability to the biological membrane.

Saturated

C’s are bonded by single bonds, contains maximum number of Hydrogen atoms, usually solid.

Unsaturated

One pair of C’s bonded by a double bond and usually a liquid

Polyunsaturated

More than one pair of C’s bonded by a double bond

Because of the Hydrophilic head and the Hydrophobic tail, phospholipids are-

Selectively permeable

A nucleic acids is a-

Polymer

Nucleic acids are used to-

Store or transmit hereditary or genetic information

A nucleotide is a-

monomer, joined to form a nucleic acids (polymer)

What are the 3 components of a Nucleic acid?

5 carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitroglycerin base (A,G,C,T)

Amino acid is a-

monomer

Amino acids are linked by

Peptide bonds to form proteins
