5993823133chitinimportant polysaccharide, found in animals. makes up exoskeleton in arthropods (and cell walls in mushrooms) Contains peptide cross bridges.33
5993823134glycogenimportant polysaccharide, "animal starch". stored in liver and skeletal muscle in humans.34
5993823135lipidsfunctions: energy storage, structure, and endocrine. organic compouds: fats, oils, waxes, and steroids. hydrophobic. consist of 1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids.35

5993823147nucleic acid make-upa phosphate, 5-carbon sugar, nitrogenous base47
5993823148kinetic energyThe energy of motion; the energy of a mass of matter that is moving. Moving matter does work by imparting motion to other matter.48
5993823149potential energyThe energy that matter possesses because of its location or arrangement. Water behind a dam and chemical bonds possess potential energy.49
5993823150cholesterollipid used as the base for many steroids50
5993823151Phospholipids in Cell MembranesA phosphate group (PO4-) replaces one of the three fatty acids normally found on a lipid. The addition of this group makes a polar "head" and two nonpolar "tails". Aligned tail to tail so the nonpolar areas form a hydrophobic region between the hydrophilic heads on the inner and outer surfaces of the membrane.51
5993823152adenosine triphosphate (ATP)main energy source for cells52

5993823159R groupAmino acid side chain- different for each amino acid59
5993823160peptide bondThe chemical bond that forms between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid60
