Question 5
Question
Which statement about macromolecules is INCORRECT?
Answer

Monosaccharides and disaccharides are simple carbohydrates.
-
Monosaccharides and disaccharides are what we call sugars.
-
A disaccharide is made up of two monosaccharides.

A polysaccharide is made up more than 10 monosaccharides.
-
A polysaccharide is a simple carbohydrate.
Question 6
Question
Hexose monosaccharides make up [blank_start]higher order carbohydrates[blank_end]. Pentose monosaccharides make up [blank_start]nucleic acids[blank_end] e.g. deoxyribose, ribose.
Answer
-
higher order carbohydrates
-
nucleic acids
Question 7
Question
Which of these statements/"equations" is false?
Answer
-
Glucose + Fructose = Sucrose
-
Galactose + Glucose = Lactose
-
Glucose + Glucose = Maltose
-
Fructose + Galactose = Trehalose
Question 8
Question
Which of these statements about carbohydrates are true?
Answer
-
Starch and cellulose are polysaccharides found in plants.
-
Glycogen is the complex carbohydrate found in animals.
-
Cellulose is formed from β-glucose monomers.
-
β-glucose has all its -OH groups on the same side.
-
α-glucose is an isomer of the glucose molecule with the -OH groups on different sides.
-
Starch and glycogen are made up of α-glucose monomers.
Question 9
Question
Glucose can be in a [blank_start]linear[blank_end] form, which is more reactive, or in a [blank_start]ring[blank_end] form, which is more stable.
Answer
-
linear
-
ring
-
ring
-
linear
Question 10
Question
Which of the following is NOT a function or carbohydrates?
Answer
-
Cell recognition
-
Storage of energy
-
Structure
-
Synthesis of proteins
Question 11
Question
Lipids (fats, steroids, phospholipids, fat soluble vitamins) are hydrophilic.
Answer
- True
- False
Question 12
Question
Which of the following statements about functions of lipids are CORRECT?
Answer
-
Lipids provide structure.
-
Lipids like testosterone perform regulatory functions.
-
Lipids store energy.
-
Lipids help resist tension.
Question 13
Question
Which statement BEST describes the differences between DNA and RNA?
Answer
-
DNA is a double helix while RNA is a single strand.
-
DNA is made up of four bases, and RNA shares three of these, while having one unique base (uracil in place of thymine).
-
DNA is a double helix with hydrogen groups, and contains the bases thymine, adenine, guanine, and cytosine. RNA is a single strand with -OH groups, and uses uracil in place of thymine.
Question 14
Question
Which of these statements about proteins is INCORRECT?
Answer
-
Proteins are polymers of amino acids.
-
There are about 100,000 unique proteins
-
One gene can code for several proteins
-
Proteins are mainly for structural support.
Question 15
Question
Which of these are functions of proteins?
Answer
-
Proteins provide structure e.g collagen to resist tension.
-
Proteins are regulatory and maintain homeostasis e.g. insulin in the plasma membrane.
-
Proteins are contractile e.g. actin and myosin in muscle fibers.
-
Proteins can transport things e.g. haemoglobin moving oxygen via the cardiovascular system.
-
Proteins can store materials e.g egg white - albumin
-
Some proteins are highly acidic and act to break down cells in their regulated death cycle.
-
Some proteins are immune proteins which protect the system e.g. antibodies like IgG
