This is fill in the blanks ( please check my answers which are the ones underlined) There are five basic types of macromolecules. Those which are used mostly for energy in the body and are made of ring-like structures are called carbohydrates. A single ringed molecule is a monosaccharide, while a molecule with 2 rings is called a disaccharide. Those made by assembling many rings into chains are called covalent bonds. This macromolecule is made only from the elements Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. Another macromolecule made only from these elements lipids. The simplest molecule in this category is called a fatty acid. Three of these can combine with a molecule called glycerol to form a triacylglycerol. A special kind of this macromolecule that includes phosphate and nitrogen is used in cell membranes is called phospholipids. Testosterone and estrogen are another special category of this macromolecule, called hormones. A third macromolecule is based on amino acids. These are made of the…
Fill in the blanks. The parentheses are the choices for the blanks. A water-requiring chemical reaction that breaks a molecule into smaller subunits is called _______ (hydrolysis, a condensation reaction). A chemical reaction in which a large molecule is assembled from smaller subunits as water forms is called _________ (hydrolysis, a condensation reaction).
Provide the smallest molecular unit of most lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Keep in mind that lipids are a little tricky.
Biologically, how expensive are you? The elements that make up the typical adult body can be purchased from chemical supply companies for about $3,000-$4,000. However, each of those elements must be chemically bonded to together to produce the complex biological molecules of life (proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids). Using sophisticated laboratory equipment, highly trained scientists can synthesize these complex biological molecules from basic elemental building blocks, but this costs millions of dollars!Consider the differences in worth between the elemental and biomolecular components of life. Explain the difference in terms of the characteristics of life.
