Check Your Awareness Below are series of questions about biological molecules. Read and analyze each question, then fill each blank with letter that will form the correct word/s being described. 1. CRB __DR _S -- - These are organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen which supply heat and energy for many cellular processes. L_DS These are organic compounds composed merely of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen but contain much less oxygen. Usually has greasy or oily consistency. 2. TE _S These are organic compounds composed of amino acids that functions for hormonal, storage, defensive, contractile, structural, transport, signal and catalytic. C__ICA D These are bio molecules composed of nucleotides which each of which contain a sugar group, a phosphate group and a nitrogen base. NZ _S These are profeins that speed up chemical processes in the cell without affecting the final products of the reactions. 3. P 4. -- | 5.
Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
