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 1 st place= +2; 2 nd place = +1; 3 rd place = +1

2. What are the 3 elements that are common in all ORGANIC substances? Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen

3. How many chemical bonds can Carbon make with other elements? four

4. What is the name of the process by which water is removed and monomers are combined to form polymers? Dehydration synthesis

5. Name a monomer of a carbohydrate. Monosaccharide (either glucose, galactose, fructose)

6. Name a macromolecule that can be used to provide energy for the human body. Carbohydrate or Lipid

7. Look at the image below. What type of macromolecule is pictured here? Lipid (triglyceride)

8. 2 point question: What are the two types of molecules that make up the molecule pictured here: Glycerol and fatty acid chains

9. Look at the fatty acid chains pictured. Are these fatty acids saturated or unsaturated? Saturated

10. List one characteristic of an unsaturated fat. Double bonds within the carbon chain Liquid at Room Temperature Bent carbon chains “better” for you in diet

11. Provide on example of a food that contains saturated fat. Meat, dairy….anything from an animal

12. Look at the image below. What is the name of this type of monomer? Nucleotide

13. Look at the image below. 3 points: Name the three parts of a nucleotide. Phosphate group, sugar, nitrogenous base

14. Which of the following polysaccharides is found in plants and is used for storage in roots? STARCH, GLYCOGEN, CELLULOSE STARCH

15. Which of the following polysaccharides is found in animals in liver/muscles? STARCH, GLYCOGEN, CELLULOSE GLYCOGEN

16. Which of the following polysaccharides can be broken down and used as energy for animals? (2 points for 2 answers) STARCH, GLYCOGEN, CELLULOSE STARCH & GLYCOGEN

17. The picture below is the monomer of proteins. What is it called? Amino acid

18. If you wanted to break the peptide bond below, what process would you have to do? Hydrolysis

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. 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. 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. 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 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. 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
