27
Which macromolecule makes up phospholipids
Lipids
28
What are the four macromolecules
Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, and Nucleic acids
29
Which macromolecule does not provide energy
Nucleic acids
30
Name the order your body consumes macromolecules
Carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins
31
What are polymers made of
Many small, basic, subunits of monomers
32
What is Hydrolysis
Polymers are broken down into monomers by gaining a water molecule
33
What is Dehydration synthesis
monomers come together to form a polymer, in turn losing a water molecule
34
Define macromolecule
Large, organic molecules that make up all living things
35
What atom do all macromolecules contain
Carbon
36
Define monomer
Small, basic subunits
37
Define Polymer
Larger, more complex structures made of monomers
38
Main function of carbohydrates
Short term energy storage
39
What contains carbohydrates
Sugars and starches
40
What elements are carbohydrates made of
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
41
How can carbohydrates be consumed
As monosaccharides and polysaccharides
42
Main function of lipids
Long term energy storage
43
What contains lipids
Fats, oils, phospholipids, and steroids
44
What elements are lipids made of
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
45
What are phospholipids
Two hydrophobic fatty acid tails and a hydrophilic phosphate head
46
What is the phospholipid bilayer
Two layers of phospholipids make the plasma membrane of cells, which have selective permeability
47
What are Saturated fats
Fats that only have single bonds in the hydrocarbon tail and is solid at room temperature
48
What are unsaturated fats
Fats that have double bonds that prevent packing tightly together and is liquid at room temperature
