8689987084 | 4 classes of molecules that make up life: | - Carbs - Lipids - Proteins -Nucleic Acids | 0 | |
8689992198 | Molecules that are macromolecules: | - Carbs - Proteins _ Nucleic Acids | 1 | |
8690015502 | The order of macromolecule groups are... | Monomer --> Polymer --> Macromolecules | 2 | |
8690022020 | Dehydration reaction | The loss of an H2O molecule to bond monomers together | 3 | |
8690025800 | Hydrolysis | The addition of an H2O molecule to break/disassemble down monomers | 4 | |
8690034281 | Carbohydrates | - monosacccaride --> disaccaride --> polysaccaride - Used as energy for ATP, to build the cell wall/ membrane, stored energy etc. - The # and type of molecules determine its function!!! | 5 | |
8690064923 | What are carbs made of? | C, H, & O (with a 2:1 hydrogen/oxygen ratio) - There is a 1:2:1 ratio in monomers | 6 | |
8690080253 | Glycosidic linkage | A C-O bond to from a disaccharide | 7 | |
8690093392 | Starch | A carb which stores energy in plants | 8 | |
8690096575 | Glycogen | A carb which stores energy in animals | 9 | |
8690093393 | Cellulose | A carb which helps form the cell wall | 10 | |
8690103995 | Chitin | A carb which builds the exoskeleton in arthropods, and the cell wall | 11 | |
8690121186 | Lipids | - have no polymers or monomers - makes up sex cells, steroids, fats, the cell membrane etc. | 12 | |
8690134512 | What are lipids made up of? | C,H, & O | 13 | |
8690141024 | Triglyceride (fat) structure: | 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol group | ![]() | 14 |
8690145369 | Fatty acid structure | A hydrocarbon and a carboxyl group | ![]() | 15 |
8690155849 | Saturated fatty acid | -Made up of only single bonds between the C and has the maximum amount of H - unhealthier for you than the alternative | 16 | |
8690155850 | Unsaturated fatty acid | - Has at least one double bond between the C so the maximum amount of H isn't used - healthier of you than the alternative | 17 | |
8690180712 | Glycerol | A 3 carbon-alcohol- where each C is bonded to a carboxyl | ![]() | 18 |
8690183575 | Phospholipid | - Made up of 2 fatty acids, a phosphate group, and glycerol - Have hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads | 19 | |
8690183576 | Steroid | - Made up of 4 fused C rings - Ex. sex cells, oxytocin | 20 | |
8690186087 | Cholesterol | LDL's: Transports this to the blood stream HDL's: remove excess LDL's from the bloodstream to prevent it from clogging arteries | 21 | |
8690186088 | Proteins | - amino acid --> polypeptide - enzymatic catalysts, cell structure, storage, transportation in cells, etc. | 22 | |
8690984901 | What are proteins made up of? | C,H,O,N and sometimes S | 23 | |
8690189005 | Amino acid structure | A carboxyl group plus an amino group | 24 | |
8690192008 | peptide bond | A C-N bond through a dehydration reaction to join amino acids together to make a polypeptide | 25 | |
8690785632 | Sickle-cell disease | A blood disorder caused by the absence of one amino acid | 26 | |
8691035842 | Ester linkage | a bond between a fatty acid and a glycerol group through a dehydration reaction | 27 |

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
