1. Macromolecules Put your names at the bottom of your board
Draw a box in the upper right corner to keep score
Quietly write your answer on the white board and keep it from roaming eyes
When I say- hold your board up for me to review (if you are still writing after I say then your answer does not count)
Keep your own score- each question = 1 point unless otherwise instructed
Cheating will result in -5 on the actual assessment
1st place= +2; 2nd place = +1; 3rd place = +1

19. Which two macromolecule groups contain nitrogen? (2 points)
LIPIDS CARBOHYDRATES PROTEINS NUCLEIC ACIDS
Proteins & Nucleic Acids

20. What type of protein is used as a catalyst to speed up chemical reactions?
An enzyme

21. Name 2 differences (be specific) between DNA and RNA
2 points:
Name 2 differences (be specific) between
DNA and RNA
DNA= deoxyribose, RNA= ribose
DNA= 2 strands, RNA = 1 strand
DNA= thymine, RNA = uracil

22. Why are nucleic acids important?
They determine who you are and what proteins your body needs to make.

23. Look at the diagram of a phospholipid below
Look at the diagram of a phospholipid below. Draw how these would be arranged if you found them in a cell membrane.

24. The function of a protein is dependent upon its shape.
What level of structure is pictured below?
Tertiary structure

25. Drastic change in temperature increase
When a protein changes shape and no longer works it is called denaturing. List 2 things that can cause denaturation to occur. (2 points)
Drastic change in pH
Drastic change in temperature increase
UV light

26. What molecule is pictured below?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or
Nucleic acid

27. What kind of bonds hold the two strands in DNA together (between 2 base pairs)?
Hydrogen bonds

28. Using the letters A,C,U,G pair them up to show which bases will pair together.
A—U
G—C

29. RNA- because it contains uracil and DNA doesn’t have uracil
If the nitrogenous bases found in a string of nucleotides contain A,C,U,G would you be looking at a strand of DNA or RNA?
RNA- because it contains uracil and DNA doesn’t have uracil

30. What type of macromolecule is pictured below?
Lipid (cholesterol)

31. List 2 characteristics of this molecule.
-acts as a chemical messenger
-precursor to sex hormones
-hydrophobic, nonpolar
-is a lipid

32. In order to carry out reactions efficiently, organisms must utilize these types of proteins
enzymes

33. Enzymes act as catalysts because they…
Lower activation energy which speeds up chemical reactions

34. Explain what type of lipid is found on the leaves and what the significance of it is.
Wax- prevents water loss and dehydration of the plant

35. Explain how cells harness energy from Glycogen
Explain how cells harness energy from Glycogen. They do hydrolysis to break a glucose molecule off of glycogen and then perform cellular respiration in the mitochondria to create ATP.
