Macromolecules Review

Pictured (C₆H₁₂O₆) is the most important carbohydrate in Biology. What's its common name?

This category of macromolecules functions primarily as a quick energy source.

This is the form of carbohydrate storage used in animals (usually in the muscles and liver).

Carbohydrates main function is:

This category of macromolecules includes DNA & RNA, our genetic material.

The name scientists give to the molecule pictured here is:

The individual pieces. or building blocks, of any macromolecule (polymer) are called:

Proteins' main function is as:

This category of macromolecules includes fats, waxes, and steroids

The term 'INSOLUBLE' means that a fat will NOT do what?

What type of bonds hold amino acids together in a protein?

The building block of which macromolecule is pictured here?

This monomer is called a(n):

The building blocks of proteins are called:

The passing of traits from parents to their offspring through DNA is called:

This class of proteins act as chemical "messengers" between different parts of the body.

Lipids main function is as:

Group of molecules with long chains of simple sugars includes starches. glycogen, and cellulose

This type of fat is typically from plant sources, and is liquid at room temperature.

This polysaccharide is used by plants as a main component of their rigid cell wall.

The molecule pictured here is the monomer of which macromolecule?

This category of fat, usually from an animal source, is solid at room temperature
