Front

What organelle processes and packages proteins?

Back

The Golgi apparatus processes and packages proteins.

Front

Identify the wrong polymer/monomer pair: nucleic acids : nucleotides, lipids: monosaccharides, carbohydrates: monosaccharides, proteins : amino acids.

Back

The wrong pair is lipids: monosaccharides.

Front

What process breaks up polymers into monomers?

Back

Hydrolysis breaks up polymers, forming monomers.

Front

What are simple sugars also known as?

Back

Simple sugars are also known as monosaccharides.

Front

What is the primary function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

Front

What is dehydration synthesis?

Back

Dehydration synthesis is a process that joins monomers to form polymers by removing water.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

The building blocks of proteins are amino acids.

Front

What is the role of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins.

Front

What are lipids primarily made of?

Back

Lipids are primarily made of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O), but in different ratios than carbohydrates.
