Biomolecules • What are Biomolecules and what elements are they made of? Organic molecules that make life possible. Carbons, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen
Biomolecules • The four Types of Biomolecule are: Carbohydrate, Lipid, Protein, and Nucleic Acids
Biomolecules • Saccarides are sugars and classified as what type of Biomolecule? Carbohydrate
Biomolecules • Simple, smallest, and the most biologically useful monomer of sugar is: Glucose
Biomolecules • A single sugar is known as a monosaccharide. A chain of sugars are known as: 2 = Disaccharide 3+ = Polysaccharide
Biomolecules • Complex polysaccharides often form chains to become starches which the body uses for: Storing Energy
Biomolecules • Proteins are useful Macromolecules made up of subunits called; Amino Acids
Biomolecules • A type of protein that speeds reactions and catalyzes molecules; Enzyme
Biomolecules • What does an Enzyme do to the activation energy of a reaction? It lowers it
Biomolecules • Are enzymes used up or are they reusable? Reusable!
Biomolecules • What are Enzymes named after? The Molecule they Catalyze Lactase binds to Lactose
Biomolecules • When an Enzyme catalyzes a molecule it breaks a substrate into two: Products
Biomolecules • A positive biuret test for a protein shows a color change from blue to - Purple
Biomolecules • What kinds of foods do we commonly find are made of proteins: Meats and Cheeses
Biomolecules • A reaction where a monomer becomes a polymer is called: Dehydration Synthesis Loss of H2O
Biomolecules • The Biomolecule commonly referred to as Fat: Lipids
Biomolecules • Lipids are composed of a Glycerol and: Fatty Acid Tails
Biomolecules • Lipids can be used as insulation, waterproofing, and most importantly: Energy
Biomolecules • Cholesterol is a form of fat, what does the body use it for? Energy
Biomolecules • DNA and RNA are this type of Biomolecule: Nucleic Acid
Biomolecules • Nucleic acids make up your genetic information. The 3 subunits are? Phosphate group, Ribose Sugar, Nitrogenous Base
