-
Give the 2 types of enzymes and their descriptions.
- Breakers- break substrates into smaller products
- Builders- join subtrates to make a bigger product
-
Name the four types of macromolecules/biomoleules.
- Carbohydrates
- Lipids
- Proteins
- Nucleic Acids
-
Carbohydrates. Give monomers, elements, function(s), and examples.
- Monomers: monosaccharides
- Elements: C,H,O
- Funtion: short-term energy
- Ex: Bread, pasta, etc.
-
Proteins. Give monomers, elements, function(s), and examples.
- Monomers: Amino Acids
- Elements: C,H,O,N
- Function: structural form for things such as hair, nails, skin, etc.
- Ex: Chicken, steak, etc.
-
Lipids. Give monomers, elements, function(s), and examples.
- Monomers: glycerol; fatty acids
- Elements: C,H,O
- Function: long-term energy
- Ex: Saturated and unsaturated fats
