Question

14.fill in the chart below using the following word bank: nucleotide short term quick energy amino acid long term energy storage / insulation fatty acids & glycerol enzymes, muscles, structures & building blocks glucose genetic material (dna / rna)
14.in this type of reaction, two molecules become linked together to form a larger molecule and water is released:
15.this type of reaction is involved with breaking down polymers to monomers with the addition of water:
16.why are phospholipids so important? what do they make up?
17.a fatty acid with no double bonds and is saturated with hydrogen atoms is called a(an) fat?
18.a fatty acid with at least one double bond and is not saturated with hydrogen atoms is called a(an) fat?
19.how many amino acids are there?
20.describe what makes each amino acid different from other amino acids.

Explanation:

• 14: In a dehydration synthesis reaction, two molecules combine to form a larger molecule and water is released.
• 15: Hydrolysis is the reaction involved in breaking down polymers to monomers with the addition of water.
• 16: Phospholipids are important because they make up the cell membrane.
• 17: A fatty acid with no double bonds and saturated with hydrogen atoms is called a saturated fat.
• 18: A fatty acid with at least one double bond and not saturated with hydrogen atoms is called an unsaturated fat.
• 19: There are 20 amino acids.
• 20: Each amino acid is different from other amino acids due to the side chain (R - group) attached to the central carbon atom.

Answer:

1. Dehydration synthesis
2. Hydrolysis
3. Phospholipids make up the cell membrane.
4. Saturated
5. Unsaturated
6. 20
7. The side chain (R - group) attached to the central carbon atom.
