Biochemistry

What is the main difference between these two polymers: Proteins vs Carbohydrates

• Proteins are made up of amino acids

• Proteins are made up of monosaccharides

• Proteins are made up of nucleotides

• Proteins are large molecules and carbohydrates are not

Both carbohydrates and lipids provide the body with energy, but lipids

• provide the body with MORE energy than carbohydrates

• provide the body with LESS energy than carbohydrates

Pasta is an example of what biomolecule

• Polysaccharide

• Polypeptide

• Triglyceride

• Nucleic Acids

Amino acids are monomers to which polymer

• Carbohydrate

• Lipid

• Protein

• Nucleic Acid

Having meals high in protein and carbohydrates will provide the body with the following benefits...

• Build muscle and provides body with energy

• Helps immune system and provides genetic information

• Provides long term energy & increase the rate of reactions

• Provides insulation & long term energy

Four most common elements that make up all living things are carbon, hydrogen,

• nitrogen, and iron.

• calcium, and phosphorus.

• oxygen, and nitrogen.

• oxygen, and iron.

What is the main similarity between these two polymers: Proteins vs Carbohydrates

• Both polymer provide energy

• Both polymers are needed for insulation

• Both polymers provide genetic information

• Both polymers make up enzymes

A nucleotide is a monomer for nucleic acids. This monomer is made up of

• Phosphate, 5 carbon sugar and a nitrogen base

• Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen

• Carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen

• Phosphate, sulfur and a nitrogen base
