Many monomers linked together make up a ____.polymer
The four categories of biological macromolecules are ___, ___, ___, and ___.carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, Audio
The type of macromolecule that is used primarily as a source of quick energy is ___.carbohydrates, Audio
Bread, pasta, cereal and fruits are high in which type of macromolecule?carbohydrates, Audio
The monomers of complex carbohydrates are ___.simple sugars (a.k.a. monosaccharides), Audio
Glucose, fructose and galactose are examples of ____.simple sugars (or monosaccharides - note; these three are all hexose sugars meaning they have six carbons. There are also simple sugars that are pentose sugars with 5 carbons such as ribose and deoxyribose, found in nucleotides. Triose sugars such as glycerodehyde are important in respiration and photosynthesis), Audio
Another term for simple sugars is ___.monosaccharides, Audio
Many monosaccharides bonded together are called a ____.polysaccharide, Audio
Plants usually store their carbohydrates as the polysaccharide known as ____., Audio starch
Animals store carbohydrates in their liver and muscles as the polysaccharide known as ___., Audio glycogen, Audio
The cell walls of plants are made of the polysaccharide known as ____.cellulose, , Audio
____ is a tough polysaccharide that can only be broken down by bacteria and some types of fungi.cellulose,
Glycogen is mainly stored in an animals ___ and ____., Audio muscles and liver
Starch, glycogen and cellulose are all types of ___., Audio carbohydrates, Audio
The monomers of proteins are ____.amino acids, , Audio
A long straight chain of amino acids is called a ____., Audio polypeptide,
A polypeptide that folds into a 3-D structure that has a specific function is called a ___., Audio protein (The picture below shows the different bonds that hold the protein in its folded shape),
Lean meat is highest in the macromolecule known as ____., Audio protein
DNA and RNA are types of ____.nucleic acids, Audio
The type of molecule that holds an organism's genetic information is called ___ and belongs in the class of macromolecules known as ____.DNA, nucleic acids,
The monomers of nucleic acids are ____.nucleotides, , Audio
Adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine are ____ found in ____.nucleotides, DNA,
The order of nucleotides in DNA determines the order of ____ in a protein., Audio amino acids, , Audio
Fats, cholesterol, steroids and waxes are classified as ___.lipids
The main function of lipids in an animals body is to ____.store energy for later use
Red meats, dairy and fried foods are high in the type of macromolecules known as ___.lipids
The building blocks of fats are ___ .Three fatty acids and one glycerol (The picture below shows a glycerol shaded gray and one long fatty acid chain shaded orange),
Fats that are solid at room temperature and are not particularly good for you are a type called ___.saturated fats,
Fats that are liquid at room temperature and are considered healthy to eat are called ___.unsaturated fats,
Fats from vegetable oils and fish tend to be ___.unsaturated,
Phospholipids are major component of the ___.cell membrane,
A major component of cell membranes is a type of lipid called a(n) ___.phospholipid,

The picture is showing a _____ reaction., condensation reaction (a.k.a. - dehydration synthesis),
The picture below is showing part of a molecule of _____ which has a ______ shape., DNA, double helix,
Fat is a type of _____ that is made of _____ and _____.lipid, 1 molecule of glycerol and three fatty acid chains (This picture shows how one glycerol would bond through a condensation reaction to one molecule of fatty acid),
The reaction shown below is called a(n) _____ reaction., hydrolysis,
A nucleotide is made of _____.a phosphate group, a pentose sugar and a nitrogenous base,
