organic compounds are used as building blocks for
proteins , starches and fats
Proteins, starch, and DNA are similar in that they are
all
organic compounds
In humans, lactose is broken down into glucose and
galactose in the presence of a particular enzyme. It is
most likely that the enzyme that breaks down lactose
is not involved in other types of reactions
because enzymes are specific
Which set of substances are molecular building blocks
that directly form some of the complex organic
molecules present in humans?
glucose and amino acids
An energy-rich organic compound needed by
organisms is
glucose
The building blocks for this molecule are
simple surgars
energy in this molecule is stored
in the bonds between atoms
The energy required to assemble proteins and fats is
directly supplied to body cells from
molecules of ATP contained within the cells
Base your answer to the following question on the

information?
diagram below, which represents stages in the
digestion of a starch, and on your knowledge of
biology
simple sugars
There are over 2000 kinds of edible insects in the
world, and they are becoming an increasingly
popular source of protein. One cup of cricket flour
contains over 28 grams of protein. The building
blocks of the protein in cricket flour are
amino acids
Scientists have found a gene that makes a protein
called PKG that controls certain behaviors in many

types of ants. The soldier ant will help collect food
when it has a low level of PKG. When it has a high
level of PKG, the soldier ant will protect amd detend
its colony, Soldier ants that are given PNG are more
likely to ignore food sources and attack intraders
10. Base your answer to the following question on the
Which conchasion can best be made from this
information?
The behavior of soldier ants is controlied in
part by the PKG protein.
Mad cow disease is a faral disease that destroys brain
tissue. Researchers have found that a prion protein

responsible. Which statement best describes the
characteristics a protein must have to tunetion
correctly?
A protein is a long chain of amine acids falde
into a specifie shape,
Which statement best describes some proteia
molecules in a cell?
Proteins are long, folded chains that can form
various cell parts.
