Chapter 3: Self-Quiz What is the main function of polysaccharides in living cells? energy storage storage of hereditary information catalytic activity formation of membranes only b and c Foods that are high in fiber are most likely to be derived from plants dairy products meat fish all of the above Proteins differ from one another because The peptide bonds linking amino acids differ from protein to protein. The sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain differs from protein to protein. Each protein molecule contains its own unique sequence of sugar molecules. The number of nucleotides found in each protein varies from molecule to molecule. The number of nitrogen atoms in each amino acid differs from the number in all others. Which, if any, of the following choices does not properly pair an organic compound with one of its building blocks (subunits)? polysaccharide-monosaccharide fat-fatty acid nucleic acid-glycerol protein-amino acid All are paired correctly. Which one of the following statements is not true with regard to glycogen, starch, and cellulose? All are complex carbohydrates composed solely of glucose monomers easily digested by animals polysaccharides found in plants, except glycogen, which is found in animals Molecules of starch and cellulose are structurally different in that, Cellulose is formed from disaccharide subunits. Cellulose subunits possess five carbons. The glucose subunits are bonded differently in cellulose. Cellulose is a disaccharide. Starch is a carbohydrate and cellulose is a protein. For example, chitin is a ________. polymer polysaccharide carbohydrate a and b all of these In which of the following items is the organic polymer correctly paired with its respective monomer? protein and amino acids carbohydrates and polysaccharides hydrocarbon and monosaccharides lipid and steroids DNA and ATP Long-term plant energy is stored in which of the following forms? glucose glycogen starch cellulose ATP Cholesterol, testosterone, estrogen, and ecdysone are all examples of fatty acids proteins steroids hormones waxes Which is the most functionally diverse group of biological molecules? carbohydrates lipids proteins nucleic acids organelles Getting a "perm" involves chemically breaking and reforming ________; in other words, altering ___________ structure. disulfide bridges; secondary disulfide bridges; tertiary H bonds; secondary H bonds; tertiary peptide bonds; primary Designed in cooperation with Andrew Stull and Steven Brunasso.
