Biochemistry Review Game
Directions:
• Each of the following slides will list a
characteristic of one (or more) of the
biomolecules.
• You will need to be the first group to
hold up the correct white board in
order to get points!
• Use for long term energy storage
in the body.
• Lipids
• One example of this group is
sugar.
• Carbohydrates
• Polysaccharides are ___________
• Carbohydrates
• This molecules makes a ringed
structure
• Carbohydrates
• Involved in the making of
muscles, skin, and blood
• Proteins
• Made up of a 5-carbon sugar,
nitrogen base, and phosphate
group.
• Nucleic Acid
• This molecule is linear in shape
and made up of Carbon and
Hydrogen atoms bonded to each
other.
• Lipids
• Plants store excess of this
molecule in the form of cellulose.
• Carbohydrates
• Your hereditary info is an example
of a __________________
• Nucleic Acid
• Monomers are glycerol and fatty
acid
• Lipids
• Used in your body to make
specific proteins like enzymes
• Proteins
• Sucrose is an example
• Carbohydrates
• Made of chains of amino acids
• Proteins
• Examples are DNA and RNA
• Nucleic Acids
• Used in the body to make the cell
membranes
• Lipids
• Made up of nucleotides
• Nucleic Acids
• Stores your genetic information
• Nucleic Acids
• Monomers are held together by
peptide bonds
• Protein
Contains C, H, and O in a ratio of
1:2:1
Carbohydrates
• Made up of mainly C and H
• Lipids
• Made up of C, H, and N
• Proteins
• Examples in your diet are pasta,
bread, candy, etc.
• Carbohydrates
• Examples in your diet might be
fats and oils
• Lipids
• You get these in your diet by
eating lean meat, eggs, nuts, etc.
• Proteins
• Disaccharides are
• Carbohydrates
• DNA and RNA are
• Nucleic Acids
• These can be denatured (bonds
broken) by changing temp. or pH
• Proteins
• One example of these acts as a
catalyst by lowering activation
energy and speeding up a
chemical reaction.
• Protein
• These are hydrophobic
• Lipids
