Question

cp biology
biomolecules notes
an organic molecule is any ______________ molecule.

  • biomolecules are important organic molecules in living organisms.

types of macromolecules:
→ ________________ elements __________
→ ________________ elements __________
→ ________________ elements __________
→ ________________ elements __________
building blocks of biomolecules:
monomer = _______, repeating molecules that build __________ molecules.
polymer = __________ molecule made up of repeating units called __________.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

An organic molecule contains carbon - hydrogen bonds. The main types of macromolecules in living organisms are carbohydrates (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen), lipids (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen), proteins (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sometimes sulfur), and nucleic acids (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus). A monomer is a single unit that builds polymer molecules. A polymer is a large molecule made up of repeating units called monomers.

Answer:

An organic molecule is any carbon - containing molecule.
Types of Macromolecules:

  • Carbohydrates; Elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
  • Lipids; Elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
  • Proteins; Elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, (sometimes Sulfur)
  • Nucleic Acids; Elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus

Building Blocks of Biomolecules:
Monomer = single unit, repeating molecules that build polymer molecules.
Polymer = large molecule made up of repeating units called monomers.
