COURSE NAME: Biochemistry

EXAM NAME: Module 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 Exam (Biochemistry)


CHEM 210: MODULE 1-8

,Question 1

True or False: According to the Module, a compound with a molecular mass of
3,000 g/mol is considered a macromolecule.
Answer: False

Rationale: Macromolecules generally have molecular masses much larger than
3,000 g/mol, often tens of thousands to millions of g/mol.



Question 2

True or False: Biomolecules can have only two functional groups.
Answer: False

Rationale: Biomolecules may contain multiple functional groups, such as
hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino, phosphate, and carbonyl groups.



Question 3

True or False: The following functional group is an amide.
Answer: False




Rationale: The structure shown is not an amide. An amide contains a carbonyl
group (C=O) directly bonded to a nitrogen atom.



Question 4

True or False: In a eukaryotic cell, the organelles called peroxisomes serve the
purpose of digesting macromolecules.
Answer: False

Rationale: Lysosomes digest macromolecules. Peroxisomes primarily break
down fatty acids and detoxify harmful substances.

,Question 5

True or False: Carbon dioxide has a linear molecular shape AND has a bond
angle of 120°.
Answer: False

Rationale: Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is linear, but its bond angle is 180°, not 120°.

Question 6

Of the following, __________ is not a property of carbon.

 Forming ionic bonds
 Forming cyclic structures
 Forming multiple bonds
 Forming bonds with oxygen
 Bonding in long chains

Answer: Forming ionic bonds

Rationale: Carbon predominantly forms covalent bonds, not ionic bonds.



Question 7

Which of the following is an element not typically found in living organisms?

 Br
 Ca
 H
 S
 Na

Answer: Br (Bromine)

Rationale: Hydrogen (H), sulfur (S), sodium (Na), and calcium (Ca) are
commonly found in living organisms. Bromine is not typically considered a major
biological element.

, Question 8

pts
