, CHEM 210 Biochemistry Module 1 Exam
Question 1 (3 pts)
True or False: According to the Module, a compound with a molecular mass of 1,000
g/mol is considered a macromolecule.
Answer: False
Rationale: Macromolecules are large polymers with molecular masses typically >5,000
g/mol (e.g., proteins, nucleic acids). Smaller compounds are not classified as
macromolecules .
Question 2 (3 pts)
True or False: Biomolecules can have only two functional groups.
Answer: False
Rationale: Biomolecules often contain multiple functional groups (e.g., amino acids have
both amine and carboxyl groups) .
Question 3 (3 pts)
True or False: In a eukaryotic cell, the organelles called peroxisomes serve the purpose
of digesting macromolecules.
Answer: False
Rationale: Peroxisomes break down fatty acids and detoxify peroxides. Lysosomes are
responsible for digesting macromolecules .
Question 4 (3 pts)
True or False: The functional group -OH is an alcohol.
Answer: True
Rationale: The hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a carbon chain defines an alcohol .
Question 5 (3 pts)
Of the following, which is not a property of carbon?
A) Forming covalent bonds
B) Triple bond formation
C) Possessing five valence electrons
D) Reacting to form long chains called polymers
E) Forming multiple bonds
Answer: C) Possessing five valence electrons
Rationale: Carbon has four valence electrons, allowing tetravalent bonding. Five
electrons would make it behave like nitrogen .
Question 6 (3 pts)
Which of the following is an element not typically found in living organisms?
