18
Q

What are four examples of Lipids?

A

Triglycerides, Phospholipids, Steroids, Cholesterol

19
Q

What is the function of Carbohydrates that are Glucose?

A

Primary source of energy

20
Q

What is the function of Carbohydrates that are Starch and Glycogen?

A

Storage of simple sugars

21
Q

What is the function of Carbohydrates that are Cellulose?

A

Build plant walls

22
Q

What is the function of Lipids that are Triglycerides?

A

Long term energy storage, insulate and protect organs

23
Q

What is the function of Lipids that are Phospholipids?

A

Make cell membranes

24
Q

What is the function of Lipids that are Steroids and Cholesterol?

A

Molecular Messengers

25
Q

What do Carbohydrates and Lipids have in common?

A

Elements that make them up (C, H, O) and they both store energy

26
Q

How are Carbohydrates and Lipids different?

A

Carbs have higher O:H ratio; Lipds have lots more H; Carbs are a primary source of energy and Lipids are for long term energy storage; Carbs function include building cell walls and Lipids functions include forming cell membranes and being molecular messengers

27
Q

How is the function of nucleic acids tied to proteins?

A

Proteins are built using the code in DNA - the process of making the proteins is done by RNA

28
Q

Give two carbohydrate monomer (monosaccharide) examples?

A

Glucose and Fructose

29
Q

Given two examples of a protein monomer (amino acid)?

A

Arginine, Leucine

30
Q

What is the nucleic acid monomer (nucleotide)?

A

Sugar - Phosphate - Base in combination

31
Q

Give two examples of the lipid monomer (fatty acid)?

A

Saturated Fatty Acid and Unsaturated Fatty Acid

32
Q

Which functional groups are found in monosaccharides?

A

Carbonyl, Hydroxyl

33
Q

What functional groups are found in amino acids?

A

Amino, Carboxyl

34
Q

What functional groups are found in nucleotides?

A

Hydroxyl, Amino, Phosphate

35
