Macromolecules Review

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

This monomer is called a(n):

The molecule pictured here is the monomer of which macromolecule?

This category of macromolecules includes fats, waxes, and steroids

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

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

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

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

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

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

Proteins' main function is as:

The building blocks of proteins are called:

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

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

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

Carbohydrates main function is:

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

Lipids main function is as:

The building block of which macromolecule is pictured here?

This polysaccharide is used for energy storage in plants

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

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