physical science prelims biomolecules

• Enzymes, antibodies, and hormones are examples of proteins
• • The primary function of ATP in the cell is energy transfer
• • Amino Acid is the building block of proteins
• • Linoleic acid is an example of an essential fatty acid
• • Palmitic acid is an example of a saturated fatty acid
• • Adenine and Thymine are the nitrogenous base found in DNA
• • Carbohydrates is the primary source of energy and release for the human body and its basic structural unit is monosaccharide. Example of monosaccharide is a glucose.
• • Triglyceride, Steroid, and Phospholipid are examples of lipid
• • The structure of a phospholipid molecule has phosphate group, glycerol, and two fatty acids
• • RNA has a sugar component which is ribose and its primary function is for protein synthesis. The involve nucleic acid for protein synthesis is mRNA
• • Glycine is an amino acid is commonly known as the "building block of life"
• • Triglycerides function as an energy storage/ long-term energy storage in thebody
• what is the role of DNA polymerase

  synthesizing new DNA strands in DNA replication
• • Glycogen is primarily stored in the liver
• • Enzymes in the body functions by catalyzing chemical reactions
• • The structure of a nucleotide has phosphate group, sugar, and nitrogenous base
• the structure of a protein is determined by what?

  its amino acid sequence
• • The DNA's function is to store genetic information
• • Lipids in the body functions as an energy storage and insulation and it is a major component is cell membranes
• • Example of a disaccharide is Maltose, Lactose, Sucrose
• • Phospholipid is type of lipid is a key component of cell membranes
• • Cellulose is a polysaccharide found in plant cell walls
• • Hemoglobin in an example of protein
