macromolecule bellwork 10-20 and 10-21

What are the major classes of biological macromolecules ( also known as organic compounds, or the building blocks of life)?

• proteins, ribosomes, organelles, carbohydrates

• acids, bases, proteins, lipids

• ribosomes, chromososmes, lipids, carbohydrates

• lipids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, proteins

• nucleic acids, chlorophylls, carbohydrates, Lysosomes

Match the macromolecule to its functions. Note: Some functions may correspond to more than one type of biological molecule.

• lipids

• Long term energy storage

• Carbohydrates

• Genetic information storage

• Nucleic Acid

• short term energy supply and structural support

• lipids (phospholipids)

• Membrane and barrier formation

• Proteins

• Catalysts of biological reactions

Just under an orca's skin lies a thick layer of blubber. Blubber helps insulate a whale from heat loss. Based on this information, which biomolecule is blubber primarily made of?

• Lipids

• Nucleic Acids

• Proteins

• Carbohydrates

Glo is examining six or seven plant cell wall samples under a microscope at 7pm on a Friday and finds the molecule shown. Which macromolecule is this?

• Carbohydrate

• Lipid

• Protein

• Nucleic Acid

This biomolecule is always made of only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. This biomolecule can be "saturated" if it is full of hydrogens connected to the carbon atoms and normally solid or "unsaturated" if the hydrogens have been replaced by double or triple bonds where the hydrogen atoms would normally be.  

• lipid

• nucleic acid

• protein

• carbohydrate

This biomolecule is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. It can be found in foods such as bread, pasta, potatoes, and any other starchy food, made of monosaccharides and polysaccharides bonded together.

• Protein

• lipids

• carbohydrates

• nucleic acid
