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
