Question 5

what is a lipids main function

Answer 5

store energy

Question 6

phospholipid

Answer 6

responsible for the structure and function of the cell membrane.

Question 7

Lipids

Answer 7

molecules made mostly of carbon and hydrogen that make up the fats,oils, and waxes.

Question 8

Nucleic acid

Answer 8

a complex organic substance present in living cells, especially DNA or RNA, whose molecules consist of many nucleotides linked in a long chain.

Question 9

DNA

Answer 9

a self-replicating material that is present in nearly all living organisms. It is the carrier of genetic information.
RNA (ribonucleic acid) Its principal role is to act as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA.RNA rather than DNA carries the genetic information.

Question 14

amino group

Answer 14

serves as the main component of the protein

Question 15

carboxyl group

Answer 15

A combination of two functional groups attached to a single carbon atom.

Question 16

amino acids

Answer 16

A simple organic compound containing both a carboxyl group

Question 17

variable group

Answer 17

Varies among amino acids and determines the differences between these protein monomers.

Question 18

function of protein

Answer 18

helps build and repair your body’s tissues, coordinates bodily functions and allows metabolic reactions to take place. In addition to providing your body with a structural framework, proteins also maintain fluid balance and a proper pH.
