Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the life process used by cells to produce energy (in the form of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP) for cellular activities called?

Answer: Cellular respiration

This process involves the burning of sugar in the presence of oxygen and releases carbon dioxide and water into its surrounding environment.

2. What is an oily or waxy organic compound called?

Answer: Lipid

A lipid can be used to store excess energy or sugar, to produce biological membranes, and to help send chemical messages from one area to another.

3. Liposomes are characteristic of what type of lipid?

Answer: Phospholipid

A phospholipid is a type of lipid which contains a part which dissolves well in water and a part that doesn't.

4. What is the more common name for a polymer of amino acids?

Answer: Protein

A protein is an organic compound which contains nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen compounds. It is composed of 100's to 1,000's of amino acids.

5. Cholesterol is an example of what type of lipid?

Answer: Sterol

A sterol is a lipid which is important in the building of cellular substances and helps send chemical messages from one area to another.

6. Valine, Alanine, Glycine, and Threonine are all examples of what?

Answer: Amino acids

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are classified as monomers.

7. A molecular model which shows how the atoms in a molecule are arranged is called a(n) what?

Answer: Structural model

Structural models are important when showing how small molecules can become larger molecules.

8. The covalent bonds which hold amino acids together are called what?

Answer: Peptide bonds

Peptide bonds enable amino acids to form chains of extremely long length.

9. During the chemical process of hydrolysis what is reversed?

Answer: Dehydration synthesis

Dehydration synthesis is a chemical process in which monosaccharides combine together to form a larger, more complex molecule. During this process, a single molecule of water is released.

10. What type of ions do bases release into a solution?

Answer: Hydroxide ions

Sodium hydroxide is an example of a base. Notice the second word in this base.
