Macromolecules

Question 1

Monomer names and examples of each group of macromolecules

Answer 1

Fatty acids which are in Fats/Lipids.
Monosacchrides which are in Carbohydrates.
Amino Acids which are in protein.

Question 2

Polymer names and examples of each group of macromolecules

Answer 2

Steroids and waxes which are in Fats/Lipids.
Polysacchrides which are in Carbohydrates.
Polypeptides which are in protein.

Question 3

Functions of each group of macromolecules

Answer 3

Fats/Lipids- Long term storage of energy and blocks of building for hormones.
Carbohydrates- Provide energy and make cellulose.
Protein- Digests enzymes and coordinates hormones.

Question 4

Which elements are found in which monomers

Answer 4

Fats- oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon
Carbs- carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
Proteins- hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen.

Question 5

Which functional groups are found in which monomers

Answer 5

In all three monomers carboxyl is found. Sulfhydryl and phospate can be found in fats. Amino is in proteins.

Question 6

Comparing and contrasting the structure of macromolecule groups

Answer 6

All have many polymers that form them but some are rings, branches, or both.

Question 7

Comparing and contrasting the functions of macromolecule groups

Answer 7

Carbs and fats store and provide energy which protein uses to build muscle in a way. Proteins do more repair and building than fats and carbs do.
