What is the structural polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of arthropods?

What is the main function of glycogen in animals?

What determines the structure and function of a polysaccharide?

Which of the following is a definition of a polymer?

Which of the following macromolecules can form polymers?

What type of reaction occurs when two monomers bond together through the loss of a water molecule?

What is the process called when polymers are broken down into monomers using a water molecule?

Which of the following serves as fuel and building material?

How many major classes of biologically essential organic molecules are found in all living organisms?

What is the term for the reaction in which a water molecule is used during the breakdown of polymers?

Which macromolecule is NOT capable of forming polymers?

What occurs during a condensation (dehydration) reaction?

Which class of macromolecules primarily serves as a source of long-term energy storage?

What is the term for the process of breaking down polymers into monomers?

Which macromolecule is the main component of cellular structures and is involved in cell signaling?

Macromolecules are polymers built from monomers

All four classes of macromolecules can form polymers

A condensation (dehydration) reaction occurs when two monomers bond together through the loss of a water molecule

Hydrolysis is a process in which a water molecule is used during the breakdown of polymers

Carbohydrates are one of the four major classes of biologically essential organic molecules found in all living organisms

Polysaccharides primarily serve as a source of short-term energy storage

Lipids can form polymers

Glycogen is a structural polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of arthropods

Starch and cellulose differ in the arrangement of their glucose molecules

The main function of cellulose in human food is to serve as a source of energy

Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose

Nucleic acids are capable of forming polymers

Monosaccharides are classified by the number of carbons in the carbon skeleton.

The carbonyl group of an aldose sugar is attached within the carbon skeleton.

Fructose is an example of an aldose sugar.

Disaccharides are formed through a hydration reaction.

Starch consists entirely of fructose monomers.

Glycogen is a storage polysaccharide in animals.

Cellulose and starch are both polymers of glucose.

Polymers such as cellulose with beta glucose are helical.

Enzymes that digest starch by hydrolyzing alpha linkages can also hydrolyze beta linkages in cellulose.

Chitin is found in the exoskeleton of arthropods and provides structural support for the cell walls of many fungi.

Chitin is used to make a strong and flexible surgical thread.

Cellulose in human food is easily digested in the digestive tract.
