Solve clues about essential biological building blocks.

by Sabreen Nur
1

I fill oceans but am not water; I shimmer in nature's stores and fuel the body. What am I?

Hints

I helps regulate temperature and can form a solvent for life.

I dissolves many substances and participates in hydrolysis.

I am a polar molecule with hydrogen bonds.

2

I am a simple sugar that fuels cells, coming in alpha and beta forms. Guess me, the glucose of life.

Hints

Often produced by photosynthesis in plants.

Exists as two ring forms: alpha and beta.

A key monosaccharide used for energy.

3

I am a plant starch made of long, unbranched chains that coil into a compact form. What am I?

Hints

Helps store energy in plants.

Made of alpha-glucose units.

Part of starch alongside a branched form.

4

I am a heavily branched glucose polymer used for rapid energy release in animals. Who am I?

Hints

Similar to amylopectin but more branched.

Highly branched structure speeds up release.

Stored mainly in liver and muscles.

5

I compose plant cell walls and alternate my units; vertical chains with strong bonds form my might.

Hints

Provides structural support in plants.

Forms straight, unbranched chains in microfibrils.

Built from beta-glucose units.

6

I am three fatty acids linked to glycerol, stored amply in adipose tissue for energy. Guess me.

Hints

Primary form of body fat for long-term energy.

Hydrophobic and insoluble in water.

Glycerol backbone with three fatty acid tails.

7

I form a bilayer with hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails, creating the boundary of cells. What am I?

Hints

Crucial for membrane structure and fluidity.

Two fatty acid tails make up the hydrophobic region.

Amphipathic molecule with a phosphate head.

8

I’m a small, hard molecule helping membranes stay flexible and acting as a steroid hormone precursor. Name me.

Hints

Precursor to steroid hormones.

Modulates membrane fluidity.

Fits among phospholipids in membranes.
