Macromolecules Review

Frogs, just like all living things, are made of four macromolecules. What are they?

• Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids(Fats), and Nucleic Acids

• Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids(Fats), and Amino Acids

• Proteins, Enzymes, Carbohydrates, and Lipids(Fats)

• Carbohydrates, Cells, Lipids(Fats), and Proteins

Macromolecules are...

• big molecules we have.

• used in the body.

• large molecules found in all living things that perform different functions.

• found in big animals.

Polymers are made up of monomers. Macromolecules are considered polymers. Monomers are almost like building blocks for a polymer. How would this contribute to the structure of macromolecules?

• Macromolecules are found in all living things.

• Macromolecules are polymers because they are made up of multiple different elements which bind together to make it a complex structure with different parts.

• Macromolecules are big which makes them polymers.

• Macromolecules have monomers.

True or False: Nucleic Acids store the most energy out of all of the macromolecules.

• False, nucleic acids store no energy whatsoever

• True, nucleic acids make up our genetic material so they store the most energy

DNA and RNA are both types of nucleic acids. What does this tell you about the purpose of nucleic acids?

• Nucleic acids are the reason that there is a nucleus

• Nucleic acids give power to the nucleus

• Nucleic acids are genes

• Nucleic acids are what hold genetic and hereditary information

Most people call the mitochondria the powerhouse of the cell because it "makes" energy. What is this energy called that powers most functions in the cell?

• Adenine Diphosphate

• ATP

• Glucose/Sugar

• ADP

Carbohydrates are used as a short-term energy source. They are found in things like sugars and starches. Which of the following is considered a good source of carbohydrates?

• Steak

• Cheese

• Pasta

• Lettuce

Where do we get DNA/RNA from? What macromolecule are they?

• We get them from our parents because they are hereditary. They are types of nucleic acids.

• They're found in the nucleus and are nucleic acids.

• They are an energy source for the body.

• They're molecules found in cells
