1. Biomolecule Practice

2. Write the names of the biomolecules on your white board Share your answer with the class when the instructor calls for your responses by show ing your white board. Keep track of your score in the bottom left or right hand corner

4. Nucleic Acid Nucleotide Clue: Phosphate group and Nitrogen base

6. Protein (Peptide) Amino Acid (General Form) Clue: R group, -NH 2 (amino group)

8. Carbohydrate Glucose (Ring) Clue: 1:1 Carbon:Oxygen ratio

10. Lipid Triglyceride Clue: Long hydrocarbon chains, Very few oxygens

12. Nucleic Acid DNA Clue: Double helix structure, A/C/G/T bases inside

14. Lipid Steroid (Cholesterol) Clue: 4 fused carbon rings, very few oxygens

16. Protein (Peptide) Peptide Chain (Bead Model) Clue: Beaded chain, Amino Acid name abbreviations

18. Nucleic Acid DNA (Atomic level structure) Clue: Phosphate group, complementary strand, A/C/G/T

20. Carbohydrate Cellulose Clue: Glucose boat form, LOTS of oxygens

22. Nucleotide Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) Clue: Sorry, just have to know this one (no details given to show Nucleic Acid hints)

24. Carbohydrate Fructose (Linear) Clue: 1:1 Carbon:Oxygen ratio

26. Carbohydrate Sucrose Clue: Lots of Oxygens (in –OH groups), 1:1 Carbon:Oxygen ratios

28. Protein (Peptide) (Ribbon Model) Clue: Just have to know that the ribbon model refers to proteins

30. Lipid Saturated Fat Clue: Long hydrocarbon chain, no double bonds so it’s unsaturated

32. Carbohydrate Glycogen Clue: Lots of Oxygens (in –OH groups), 1:1 Carbon:Oxygen ratios

34. Protein (Peptide) Hemoglobin (Quaternary Structure) Clue: Multiple polypeptide domains (different colored groups of protein beads.)

36. Lipid Estrogen converted to Testosterone Clue: 4 fused carbon rings, very few oxygens

38. Protein (Peptide) Amino Acid chain Clue: R group markers, Amino group (-NH 3 + )

40. Nucleotide RNA Clue: Sugar+Phosphate+Nitrogen base arrangement, Only see U base in RNA
