What are globular proteins?

Sphere-shaped proteins that transport and store nutrients, catalyze reactions, fight invasions. and participate in metabolism

What are the three examples of monosaccharides?

Glucose, Fructose, and Galactose

What are the component elements of nucleic acids?

Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus

What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids?

Saturated fatty acids do not possess double bonds while unsaturated fatty acids contain double bonds and a "kink"

What is the major function of RNA?

Used in protein synthesis which contains the code for the production of proteins

What is maltose and where can it be found?

Glucose + Glucose. Cereal beer, potatoes, cheese, pasta

What is the monomer for carbohydrates?

Monosaccharides

It is a type of protein use by the immune system to repair and heal the body from foreign bacteria

Antibody

What is the primary function of Nucleic Acids?

Store the genetic code and transmit hereditary information

This type of proteins provide strength for tissues

Fibrous Proteins - Collagens, elastins, and keratins

What is the difference between Lactose and Galactose?

Lactose is a disaccharide (Galactose + Glucose) and Galactose is a monosaccharide

These are also called empty calories because they do not posses fiber, vitamins, and minerals

Simple Carbohydrates

What are the monomers of Nucleic Acids?

Nucleotides

What does a "polymer" mean?

chains of monomers

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

DNA: Double stranded, Deoxyribose sugar, GCAT ; RNA: Single Stranded, Ribose sugar, GCAU

What is the function of Lipoproteins?

Transport fat molecules in water, blood plasma, or other extracellular fluids

What is the difference between Lipids and Carbohydrates?

Carbohydrates are short-term energy sources while lipids are long-term energy sources

What is the primary function of simple carbohydrates?

They can be easily digested and raise blood sugar levels immediately

What are the three important examples/functions of proteins?

Enzymes, Antibodies, and Hemoglobin (cell transport)

What type of macromolecule do hormones belong to?

PROTEINS!

What is the recognizable structure of steroids?

Three six-membered rings and one five-membered ring

How do tertiary structures in proteins form?

By the interactions of Alpha Helices and Beta Sheets

What are the five elements of life?

Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur

What are the three components of nucleotides?

Sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous bases
