1. If a large molecule is called a polymer, what would be another name for the subunits of that

molecule?

Monomers

MONO MEANS ONE. POLY MEANS MANY

MANY MONOMERS BOND TO MAKE A POLYMER

EXAMPLE: MANY AMINO ACIDS (monomers) BOND TO MAKE A PROTEIN (polymer)

4. What is the sub-unit (building block) of carbohydrates?

4. What is the sub-unit (building block) of carbohydrates?

monosaccharide

MONOSACCHARIDES ARE SIMPLE SUGARS

5. Which bio-molecule is insoluble in water?

5. Which bio-molecule is insoluble in water?

LIPIDS (EX: OILS AND WAXES) ARE NON-POLAR, THEREFORE NOT ATTRACTED TO AND PULLED APART BY WATER MOLECULES- SO THEY

DO NOT DISSOLVE IN WATER.

LIPIDS

ROUND 2

1. These proteins increase the rate of chemical reactions?

Chicken feet

1. These proteins increase the rate of chemical reactions?

Chicken feet

ENZYMES

CHEMICAL REACTIONS OCCUR WHEN THINGS ARE BROKEN DOWN OR PUT TOGETHER. ENZYMES ARE PROTEINS WERE MATERIALS

(SUBSTRATES) ATTACH SO A CHEMICAL REACTION CAN TAKE PLACE.

2. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to make glucose (sugar) and

oxygen. What does Cellular Respiration use in order to make carbon dioxide, water, and ATP?

Glucose (sugar) and Oxygen

4. What substance is found contained in chloroplasts that absorbs energy from sunlight?

CHLOROPHYLL

5. Why can’t an enzyme break down any molecule that is around?

5. Why can’t an enzyme break down any molecule that is around?

Because a specific molecule has to fit like a

puzzle piece to the enzyme.
