Biochemistry Review Game
Directions: Each of the following slides will list a characteristic of one (or more) of the biomolecules. You will need to be the first group to hold up the correct white board in order to get points!
Use for long term energy storage in the body. Lipids
One example of this group is sugar. Carbohydrates
Polysaccharides are ___________ Carbohydrates
This molecules makes a ringed structure Carbohydrates
Involved in the making of muscles, skin, and blood Proteins
Made up of a 5-carbon sugar, nitrogen base, and phosphate group. Nucleic Acid
This molecule is linear in shape and made up of Carbon and Hydrogen atoms bonded to each other. Lipids
Plants store excess of this molecule in the form of cellulose. Carbohydrates
Your hereditary info is an example of a __________________ Nucleic Acid
Monomers are glycerol and fatty acid Lipids
Used in your body to make specific proteins like enzymes Proteins
Sucrose is an example Carbohydrates
Made of chains of amino acids Proteins
Examples are DNA and RNA Nucleic Acids
Used in the body to make the cell membranes Lipids
Made up of nucleotides Nucleic Acids
Stores your genetic information Nucleic Acids
Monomers are held together by peptide bonds Protein
Contains C, H, and O in a ratio of 1:2:1 Carbohydrates
Made up of mainly C and H Lipids
Made up of C, H, and N Proteins
Examples in your diet are pasta, bread, candy, etc. Carbohydrates
Examples in your diet might be fats and oils Lipids
You get these in your diet by eating lean meat, eggs, nuts, etc. Proteins
Disaccharides are Carbohydrates
DNA and RNA are Nucleic Acids
These can be denatured (bonds broken) by changing temp. or pH Proteins
One example of these acts as a catalyst by lowering activation energy and speeding up a chemical reaction. Protein
These are hydrophobic Lipids
