| 6127215267 | Macromolecule | any large complex organic molecule | 1 | |
| 6127215268 | Organic | Contains carbon; formed from living things or the remains of living things | 2 | |
| 6127215269 | Inorganic | Not formed from living things or the remains of living things | 3 | |
| 6127215270 | Monomer | A simple compound whose molecules can join together to form polymers | 4 | |
| 6127215271 | Polymer | A long molecule consisting of many similar or identical monomers linked together. | 5 | |
| 6127215272 | Carbohydrates | Compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the approximate ratio of C:2H:O (e.g., sugars, starches, and cellulose) | 6 | |
| 6127215273 | Lipids | Energy-rich organic compounds, such as fats, oils, and waxes, that are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. | 7 | |
| 6127215274 | Proteins | Any of a group of complex organic macromolecules that are composed of one or more chains of amino acids. | 8 | |
| 6127215275 | Nucleic Acids | Either one or two long chains of repeating units (nucleotides) such as DNA and RNA | 9 | |
| 6127215276 | Monosaccharides | Monomer of carbohydrates/ a single sugar such as fructose, galactose, and glucose | 10 | |
| 6127215277 | Disaccharide | Two large sugar molecules connected together (such as lactose, maltose, and sucrose) | 11 | |
| 6127215278 | Polysaccharide | Carbohydrate molecules composed of long chains of sugar molecules bonded together (cellulose in plants, glycogen in animals) | 12 | |
| 6127215279 | Triglyceride | Made of 3 long chains attached to a small molecule called glycerol | 13 | |
| 6127215280 | Saturated fat | A lipid made from fatty acids that have no double bonds between carbon atoms a type of single-bond animal or vegetable fat, as that found in butter, meat, egg yolks, and coconut or palm oil, that in humans tends to increase cholesterol levels in the blood. | 14 | |
| 6127215281 | Unsaturated fat | A triglyceride fat containing at least one unsaturated fatty acid. Fats derived from plants are often unsaturated fats. Eating foods high in unsaturated fats can reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood. | 15 | |
| 6127215282 | Trans fat | A type of unsaturated fat that can increase levels of fat and cholesterol in the bloodstream | 16 | |
