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
