2.1

Question 1

Molecular Biology

Answer 1

Chemistry of living organisms

Question 2

Organic Molecules

Answer 2

Carbon-based compounds that are synthesized by living organisms

Question 3

Carbon Atoms

Answer 3

Able to form 4 covalent bonds

Question 4

Urea

Answer 4

organic compound that is produced by organisms when they break down proteins
It is excreted from the body through urine

Question 5

Metabolism

Answer 5

two pathways : catabolic & anabolic

Question 6

Catabolic Reactions

Answer 6

break down complex molecules into simpler ones, which releases energy (hydrolysis)

Question 7

Hydrolysis

Answer 7

opposite of condensation. Polymers are broken down by adding H2O and breaking covalent bonds

Question 8

Condensation VS Hydrolysis

Answer 8

Condensation (energy consumed, covalent bond formed, water removed, monomer - polymer)
Hydrolysis (energy released, covalent bond broken, water added, polymer - monomer)

Question 9

Simple sugars

Answer 9

Glucose (6 sided) , Ribose ( 5 sided)

Question 10

Disaccharide

Answer 10

sugars are formed when two monosaccharide sugars join together through condensation reactions

Question 11

Fatty acids

Answer 11

chains of hydrogen and carbon and are the building blocks of lipids and fats. The following are saturated fatty acids.

Question 12

Phospholipids

Answer 12

that make up cell membranes have two tails made of fatty acid chains

Question 13

Triglycerides

Answer 13

composed of three fatty acid chains and glycerol
