12 Questions
Match the lipid component with its role in the cell membrane:
Phospholipids = Make up the basic structure of the cell membrane Fatty acids = Not a component of the cell membrane Waxes = Not a component of the cell membrane Steroids = Not a component of the cell membrane
Match the lipid group with its classification:
Saturated, Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated = Groups lipids are grouped into Triglyceride = Not a classification of lipids Monosaccharides, disaccharides or polysaccharides = Not a classification of lipids Monounsaturated, Polyunsaturated = Not a classification of lipids
Match the fatty acid type with its description:
Monounsaturated fatty acids = Molecules contain a double bond between two carbon atoms Saturated fatty acids = Fatty acids with hydrogen atoms artificially added to the double bond Cis Polyunsaturated fatty acids = The structure is slightly bent Trans Polyunsaturated fatty acids = Not bent structure
Match the reaction with the triglyceride molecule synthesis process:
Condensation = Triglyceride molecule synthesis Hydrolyzing = Not part of triglyceride synthesis
Match the component with its composition in triglycerides:
Glycerol, 3 fatty acids = Composition of triglycerides Glycerol, 2 fatty acids = Not composition of triglycerides 3 Glycerides = Not composition of triglycerides 3 Glycerols and 1 fatty acid = Not composition of triglycerides
Match the bonding type with the formation of triglycerides:
Ester linkage = Formation of triglycerides Glycosidic bonds = Not involved in the formation of triglycerides Hydrogen bonding = Not involved in the formation of triglycerides Covalent bonding = Not involved in the formation of triglycerides

DNA, RNA, ATP = Nucleic acids Dipeptide, Polypeptide, Amino acids = Proteins Triglycerides, Waxes, Steroids, Phospholipids = Lipids Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Starch, Cellulose = Carbohydrates
Match the following characteristics with the correct macromolecule:
Do not dissolve in water = Lipids Acidic when mixed with water = Nucleic acids Hydrophobic = Lipids Attracted to water = Carbohydrates
Match the following functions with the correct macromolecule property:
