Organic Molecules_2

Organic molecules that temporarily stores and releases energy

• Nucleic Acid

• Nucleotide

• DNA

• RNA

• Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

Answer explanation

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the primary energy carrier in cells, temporarily storing and releasing energy for various biological processes, unlike nucleic acids which are primarily involved in genetic information.

Organic molecule that is the subunit of DNA and RNA.

• Carbohydrates

• Nucleotide

• DNA

• ATP

Answer explanation

The correct answer is 'Nucleotide' because it is the basic subunit of both DNA and RNA, consisting of a sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base. Carbohydrates, DNA, and ATP are not subunits of these nucleic acids.

The following structure is related to

• Carbohydrates

• Proteins

• Lipids

• Nucleic Acids

Answer explanation

The structure in question is indicative of proteins, which are made up of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. This distinguishes them from carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, which have different structural components.

The following structure is related to

• Carbohydrates

• Proteins

• Lipids

• Nucleic Acids

Answer explanation

The structure in question is characteristic of lipids, which include fats and oils. They are composed of long hydrocarbon chains or rings, distinguishing them from carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids.

The following structure is related to

• Carbohydrates

• Proteins

• Lipids

• Nucleic Acids

Answer explanation

The structure in question is characteristic of nucleic acids, which include DNA and RNA. These molecules are composed of nucleotide units, distinguishing them from carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.

Fats are lipids that store

• Energy

• ATP

• Nucleic Acids

• Carbon

Answer explanation

Fats are a type of lipid primarily used for energy storage in the body. They provide a concentrated source of energy, making 'Energy' the correct answer, while ATP, nucleic acids, and carbon do not represent the primary function of fats.

____ is the process by which large compounds are made by joining smaller ones together.

• Polymerization

• Macromolecules

• Monomers

• Polymers

Answer explanation

Polymerization is the correct term for the process of creating large compounds, known as polymers, by chemically joining smaller units called monomers together.

Single sugar molecules (carbohydrates) are

• Monosaccharides

• Disaccharides

• Polysaccharides

• Proteins

Answer explanation

Single sugar molecules are known as monosaccharides. They are the simplest form of carbohydrates, consisting of one sugar unit, unlike disaccharides (two units) and polysaccharides (multiple units).

Two single sugar molecules (carbohydrates) combined together

• Monosaccharides

• Disaccharides

• Polysaccharides

• Proteins

Answer explanation

Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides combine. This process involves a glycosidic bond, resulting in a molecule that consists of two sugar units, distinguishing them from monosaccharides and polysaccharides.
