A large, organic molecule such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Macromolecule

Provide cell structure, send chemical signals, speed up

Proteins

Provide cells with long-term energy, make up biological membranes

Lipids

Provide cells with quick/short-term energy, source of dietary fiber

Carbohydrates

Speed up chemical reactions

Enzymes

Why do we call macromolecules "macro"?

because they are large compared to other, smaller molecules.

Enzymes are which type of macromolecule? a. Lipids b. Carbohydrate c. Proteins d. Nucleic Acids

c. Proteins

Store and pass on genetic information

Which of the following is NOT a macromolecule? Carbohydrate, Lipid, Amino acid, or Nucleic acid

Amino acid

Keratin (found in hair and nails), hormones, enzymes, antibodies

Protein

What does hydrophobic mean?

water fearing ( does not like water)

2 Factors that may affect the active site and enzyme function include:

temperature and PH

Monomer of proteins

amino acids

Fats, phospholipids, waxes, oils, grease, steroids

Lipids
