Carbon’s ability to bond with up to four other
atoms is significant because:
1. It enables the synthesis of inorganic
molecules.
2. It allows for the formation of long chains and
rings.
3. All biological molecules have four covalent
bonds.
4. It leads to the creation of large monomers
from smaller polymers.

Why is it so hard for most animals to break down
cellulose?
1. The lipid monomers of this polymer are
connected by bonds with unique
orientations.
2. It must be eaten with large amounts of fiber.
3. Most animals lack the enzymes that break
the bonds between the glucose molecules
of this polymer.
4. The high pH of cellulose denatures the
digestive enzymes of most animals.

If you were going on a long trip and could take
along only 10 pounds of food, it would be best to
select food from which group?
1. Carbohydrates, because they are an
immediate source of energy
2. Fats, because they contain more energy per
gram
3. Proteins, because they have a wide variety
of functions
4. Nucleic acids, because they contain the
instructions for making proteins

Why would changing the shape of a protein
change its function?
1. Like a key (protein) and lock (function), if
you change the shape of the key, it can no
longer open the lock.
2. Change in shape leads to more hydrophobic
interactions.
3. It wouldn’t; as long as the primary structure
is intact, the function won’t change.
4. Shape change will lead to a different amino
acid sequence.
