10603962668monomersmacromolecules are polymers built from _______3
10603965022polymerlong molecule consisting of many similar building blocks4
10603965971monomerrepeating units that serve as building blocks5
10603969078dehydration reactionoccurs when two monomers bond together through the loss of a water molecule6
10603970603hydrolysisreaction that is essentially the reverse of the dehydration reaction, disassembles the monomers by adding water molecules7
10603981305carbohydratesincludes sugar and the polymers of sugar8
10603982499Monosaccharidesthe simplest carbohydrates or simple sugars, usually have a 1:2:1 ratio, classified by the location of the carbonyl group (ketone and aldehyde) and the number of carbons in the carbon skeleton9
10603985895glucosemost common monosaccharide, C6H12O610
10603998569ketonecarbonyl group (=O) is in the middle11
10604000072aldehydecarbonyl group (=O) is at the end12
10604001502trioses3 carbons13
10604002298pentoses5 carbons14
10604002925hexoses6 carbons15
10604005882hexoses, ring or chain based on environmentglucose structure16
10604007198pentosesfructose structure17

10604017898disaccarideformed when a dehydration reaction joins to monosaccharides19
10604028233glycosidic linkagecovalent bond formed between two monosaccharides by dehydration reaction to form a disaccharide20
10604033744polysaccharidesthe polymers of sugar21
10604036508energy storage and structural rolespolysaccharides fuctions22
10604038663starcha energy storage polysaccharide of plants consisting entirely of glucose, 2 forms23
10604042841amylosetype of starch made up of glucose, simplest form because it is not branched24
10604046137amyloceptintype of starch made up of glucose that is branched in one place25
10604049597glycogenenergy storage polysaccharide in animals, found in the liver and muscle cells, highly branched26
10604054190cellulosepolysaccharide that is twisted together like a rope and found in the tough wall of plant cells, humans can not digest it, why plants stand up27
10604061458chitinstructural polysaccharide that is found in the exoskeleton of arthropods, is only polysaccharide that is a ring, support for cell wall of fungi28
10638749347lipidsthe one class of large biological molecules that does not include true polymers, they mix poorly if at all with water so they are nonpolar (likes dissolves likes)29
10638765776hydrocarbonslipids are hydrophobic because they consist mostly of ____________which form nonpolar covalent bonds30
10638778578fats, phospholipids, and steroidsthe three most biologically important lipids31
10638789676number 1 energy storagelipids function32
10638796114glycerol and fatty acidsfats constructed from two types of smaller molecules __________ and _____________33
10638805974glycerolmade up of a three carbon alcohol with a hydroxyl group attached to each carbon, 3 carbons attached to 3 hydrogens and 3 OH with the rest H's34
10638820993fatty acidconsists of a carboxyl group attached to a long carbon skeleton, zig-zag of carbons attached to hydrogens, has =0 and OH35
10638831180triacylglycerolmade up of one glycerol with 3 fatty acids attached to it by the OH through dehydration reaction by an ester linkage36
10638848132ester linkagelinakage between the fatty acids and glycerol within a triacylglycerol37
10638870934saturated fathave the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible and no double bond between the carbons, so flexible and stackable because of single bond so they are soild at room temperature, animal fats38
10638884184unsaturated fatshave one or more double bonds between carbons, stiff so they have a bent shape, liquid at room temperature, oils and plant and fish fats39
10638901910hydrogenationthe process of converting unsaturated fats to saturated fats by adding hydrogen40
10638915486trans fatsthe fats created by hydrogenation, contribute more to cardiovascular disease because they are harder, more soild, and fold better because they are artifical so they build up more41
10638937372energy storage and cushion vital organsfunctions of fats42
10638943414phospholipidtwo fatty acids and a phosphate group (PHO4) attached to glycerol43
10638965345hydrophillic hydrophobicstructure of phospholipid results in a bilayer arrangement found in cell memberans were the head is _________ and the tail is ________44
10638970419steroidslipids characterized by a carbon skeleton consisting of four fused rings45
10638974791cholesterola type of steroid, is a component in animal cell membranes and a precursor from which other steroids are synthesized, percurser for sex hormones, high level of this in the blood may contribute to cardiovascular disease46
10638994596cholesterol47
10638999685phospholipid48
10639015940chitin49
