Macromolecules and Energy Content

Master macromolecules and energy! Learn about proteins, carbs, fats, nucleic acids & read nutrition labels.

Macromolecules Fill in the table with the correct answers. Macromolecule Monomer Example Protein amino acids hormones Nucleic Acid nucleotides DNA Carbohydrates monosaccharides starch Lipids fatty acids oil Match the molecule to its function carbohydrates provide energy lipids store energy nucleic acids genetic information proteins regulate cell processes Fill in the table below monomers fatty acids glucose nucleotides amino acids monosaccharides fructose polymers DNA nucleic acid protein lipid cellulose starch polysaccharides Match the molecule with the elements that make it up and the image that matches its monomer. nucleic acids hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus proteins hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen lipids mostly carbon and hydrogen (and some oxygen) carbs carbon, hydrogen, oxygen Which of the following is NOT a function of proteins? store and transmit genetic information help to fight disease control the rate of reactions move substances into or out of cells What is the process that makes macromolecules? monomerization polymerization Complete the paragraph by filling in the blanks. The smaller units, or monomers, join together to form larger units called polymers. This process is called polymerization. The four major groups of macromolecules found in living things are carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. What process is shown in this image? Dehydration synthesis Hydrolysis Dehydration-lysis Hydrosynthesis What process is shown above? Dehydration synthesis Hydrolysis Hydrosynthesis Dehydration-lysis What are Calories? Reading a Nutrition Label and Calculating Energy Content I consume a bottle of G2. How many Calories? 32 8 80 20 I consume a bottle of G2. How many grams of carbohydrates? 30 8 75 20 I consume a bottle of G2. How many Calories come from carbohydrates? (hint- scroll up to the image showing how to read a nutrition label) 7 8 17.5 20 I consume 3 servings of eggs. How many Calories? 70 140 210 I consume 3 servings of eggs. How many Calories come from fat? (Review the image on reading a food label... remember, you need to see how many grams of fat per serving, how many Calories per gram fat contains, and multiply that by the number of servings) 7 135 35 31.5 I consume 3 servings of eggs. How many Calories will come from protein? 4 72 24 6
