Complete Solutions
____________ functions as an energy reservoir in animals,
including people. It is especially abundant in the liver and
muscles. This consists of highly branched chains of glucose
monomers. Correct Answers Glycogen.
____________ is the main structural component of plants. In
this, hydrogen bonds stabilize long, straight chains of glucose
monomers. The crosslinked chains form long, tough fibers that
few organisms can digest. Correct Answers Cellulose.
_____________ are lipids with no fatty acid tails; they have a
rigid backbone that consists of twenty carbon atoms arranged in
a characteristic pattern of four rings. These molecules serve
varied and important physiological functions in plants and
animals. Cholesterol, the most common example of these in
animal tissues, is remodeled into other molecules such as bile
salts. Correct Answers Steroids.
_______________ is the main energy reserve in plants, which
store it in their roots, stems, leaves, seeds, and fruits. This is a
long, coiled chain of glucose monomers. Correct Answers
Starch.
__________________ fatty acids have only single bonds linking
the carbons in their tails. Their carbon chains are full of
hydrogen atoms. Their tails are flexible and they wiggle freely;
this is a fatty acid with only single bonds linking the carbon in
its tails. Correct Answers Saturated
, _____________, a polysaccharide similar to cellulose, long,
unbranching chains of nitrogen-containing monomers are linked
by hydrogen bonds. As a structural material, this is durable,
translucent, flexible. It reinforces the cell wall of fungi, and
strengthens the outer body covering of animals such as insects,
spiders, lobsters. Correct Answers Chitin.
A bond between the amine group of one amino acid and the
carboxyl group of another. Joins amino acids in proteins:
Correct Answers Peptide bond.
A claim, argument, or method that is presented as if it were
science, but is not: Correct Answers Pseudoscience.
A community interacting with its environment: Correct Answers
Ecosystem.

Dalmatian puppy is a EUkaryote, and fits into the ANIMALS
group of scpecific examples.
A lipid with two fatty acid tails and a hydrophyllic phosphate
group in its head: Correct Answers Phospholipid.
A mushroom is a _____(a)_____karyote, and fits into the
_____(b)_____ group of specific examples. Correct Answers A
mushroom is a EUkaryote, and fits into the FUNGI group of
specific examples.
