10644973162macromoleculesthe largest and most complex molecules1
10644973163carbohydrates proteins nucleic acid3 marcomolecules/polymers2
10644973164monomersmacromolecules are polymers built from _______3
10644973165polymerlong molecule consisting of many similar building blocks4
10644973166monomerrepeating units that serve as building blocks5
10644973167dehydration reactionoccurs when two monomers bond together through the loss of a water molecule6
10644973168hydrolysisreaction that is essentially the reverse of the dehydration reaction, disassembles the monomers by adding water molecules7
10644973169carbohydratesincludes sugar and the polymers of sugar8
10644973170Monosaccharidesthe 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
10644973171glucosemost common monosaccharide, C6H12O610
10644973172ketonecarbonyl group (=O) is in the middle11
10644973173aldehydecarbonyl group (=O) is at the end12
10644973174trioses3 carbons13
10644973175pentoses5 carbons14
10644973176hexoses6 carbons15
10644973177hexoses, ring or chain based on environmentglucose structure16
10644973178pentosesfructose structure17
10644973179energy and building materialsmonosaccharides function18
10644973180Disaccharideformed when a dehydration reaction joins to monosaccharides19
10644973181glycosidic linkagecovalent bond formed between two monosaccharides by dehydration reaction to form a disaccharide20
10644973182polysaccharidesthe polymers of sugar21
10644973183energy storage and structural rolespolysaccharides fuctions22
10644973184starcha energy storage polysaccharide of plants consisting entirely of glucose, 2 forms23
10644973187glycogenenergy storage polysaccharide in animals, found in the liver and muscle cells, highly branched24
10644973188cellulosepolysaccharide that is twisted together like a rope and found in the tough wall of plant cells, humans can not digest it, why plants stand up25
10644973189chitinstructural polysaccharide that is found in the exoskeleton of arthropods, is only polysaccharide that is a ring, support for cell wall of fungi26
10644973190lipidsthe 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)27
10644973191hydrocarbonslipids are hydrophobic because they consist mostly of ____________which form nonpolar covalent bonds28
10644973192fats, phospholipids, and steroidsthe three most biologically important lipids29
10644973193number 1 energy storagelipids function30
10644973194glycerol and fatty acidsfats constructed from two types of smaller molecules __________ and _____________31
10644973195glycerolmade 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's32
10644973196fatty acidconsists of a carboxyl group attached to a long carbon skeleton, zig-zag of carbons attached to hydrogens, has =0 and OH33
10644973197triacylglycerolmade up of one glycerol with 3 fatty acids attached to it by the OH through dehydration reaction by an ester linkage34
10644973198ester linkagelinakage between the fatty acids and glycerol within a triacylglycerol35
10644973199saturated 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 fats36
10644973200unsaturated fatshave one or more double bonds between carbons, stiff so they have a bent shape, liquid at room temperature, oils and plant and fish fats37
10644973201hydrogenationthe process of converting unsaturated fats to saturated fats by adding hydrogen38
10644973202trans 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 more39
10644973203energy storage and cushion vital organsfunctions of fats40
10644973204phospholipidtwo fatty acids and a phosphate group (PHO4) attached to glycerol41
10644973205hydrophillic hydrophobicstructure of phospholipid results in a bilayer arrangement found in cell memberans were the head is _________ and the tail is ________42
10644973206steroidslipids characterized by a carbon skeleton consisting of four fused rings43
10644973207cholesterola 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 disease44
10644973208cholesterol45
10644973209phospholipid46
10644973210chitin47
