You may want to have your macromolecules/biomolecules packet to help with this question. The image above illustrates the action of the enzyme found in Beano. This enzyme is known as alpha-galactosidase. As hopefully you recall the alpha refers to the first part of a large molecule. The large molecule on the left would be an example of a _____ , since it contains many glycosidic bonds between three monomers that contain hydroxyls, aldehydes, and ketones. As it says in the enzyme name as well it produces the monomer pictured all the way to the right which is known as ______ (Hint: notice how the hydroxyl is located on the 3rd and 4th carbons). Alpha-galactosidase, from the reaction pictured above causes a _______ type of reaction which creates smaller molecules. The other product of the reaction, besides the monomer all the way to the right, is the dimer or a _______which is composed of a monomer of the aldose ________ and the ketose _______.
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.
