Biology Chapter: Macromolecules and Organic Chemistry

Which of the following macromolecules are often referred to as sugars? (Select all that apply)

What common macromolecule is Omega-3 Fatty Acid classified as?

Organic molecules are typically identified by the presence of _____ bonds.

DNA includes 3 nucleic acid subgroups referred to as nucleotides.

In addition to ionic bonds and covalent bonds, polar molecules can also form a third type of bond called hydrogen bonds.

For the most part, Lipids are polar.

Which of the following describes H2O, NaCl, CO2, and HCl?

Besides DNA, another nucleic acid is ____.

The four common macromolecules used by all living organisms are lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.

The carbohydrate monosaccharide subunit most commonly used for energy is ____.

Carbohydrates are often referred to as sugars and serve as a primary source of energy.
Omega-3 Fatty Acid is classified as a lipid, a type of macromolecule important for cell membranes and energy storage.

Organic molecules are primarily identified by the presence of carbon-hydrogen bonds, a key feature distinguishing them from inorganic molecules.

DNA does not include three subgroups of nucleic acids; it is made of four types of nucleotides (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine).
RNA is a significant nucleic acid in addition to DNA, playing a crucial role in protein synthesis.

Polar molecules can form hydrogen bonds, in addition to ionic and covalent bonds, contributing to various biological processes.
Lipids, typically non-polar, do not usually have polar properties, resulting in their ability to form cellular membranes.

H2O, NaCl, CO2, and HCl are all classified as inorganic molecules, lacking carbon-hydrogen bonds.
Common macromolecules used by living organisms include lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids, not fats.
