5039887964Molecules composed of thousands of atoms: the four main classes being carbohydrates, lipids, prteins, and nucleic acidsMacromolecules0
5039887965Chainlike molecules consisting of monomersPolymer1
5039887966Make up polymersMonomer2
5039887967Removing water to bond monomers together to create a polymerDehydration Synthesis3
5039887968Adding water to break polymers apart to create monomersHydrolysis4
5039887969A macromolecule made up of C, H and O, with a 2:1 ratio between the hydrogen and oxygen.Carbohydrates5
5039887970Simple sugars with 1 ring: Provides immediate energy, classified by the amount of carbons. Ex. glucose, fructose, galactoseMonosaccharides6
5039887971Double sugars with 2 rings, ex. sucroseDisaccharides7
5039887972Polymers, with many rings. Acts as an energy storage macromolecule, building materials for cells or whole organisms. ex, glycogen, starch and cellulosePolysaccharides8
5039887973glucose, fructose, galactoseExamples of monosaccharides9
5039887974SucroseExamples of disacharrides10
5039887975Macromolecule that dislikes water (hydrophobic), examples fats, oils and waxesLipids11
5039887976Hydrocarbon chain found in LipidsGlycerol12
5039887977Part of a lipid attached to glycerolFatty Acid13
5039887978Fatty acids with single bonds. Solid at room temperature.Saturated fatty acids14
5039887979Fatty acids with double and single bonds. Liquid at room temperature.Unsaturated fatty acids15
5039887980A type of lipid used as signals in the cells. ex., cholesterolSteroid16
5039887981Built up of 20 types of amino acids, which can unravel or denature in response to changes in pH, salt concentration, and temperature because they disrupt the bonds between parts of the proteinProteins17
5039887982monomer for building proteins, bonded by peptide bondsAmino acid18
5039887983proteins that speed up the rate of reactions, but are not consumed by the reaction. Lowers the activation energy of a reaction, and makes it easier to perform these reactions.Enzymes19
5039887984A reactant that binds to an enzymeSubstrate20
5039887985A pocket/groove on the surface of a protein on the surface of the protein into which the substrate fits. The substrate is held to this area through weak interactions, such as hydrogen bonds or Van der Waals.Active Site21
5039887986amount of energy needed to get a reaction going, enzymes lower the activation energyActivation Energy22
5039887987An organic compound made up of a pentose sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base. Ex. DNA and RNANucleic Acids23
5039887988The building blocks of nucleic acidsNucleotide24
5039887989nucleic acid25
5039887990protein26
5039887991carbohydrate27
5039887992lipid28
5039887993What element can bond with up to 4 other elements?Carbon29
5039887994Temperature, pH and concentration of enzymeWhat 3 factors affect the rate of a reaction involving an enzyme?30
5039887995long term energy storageWhat is the role of lipids31
5039887996protons and neutronsWhat can be found in the nucleus of an atom?32
