| 269351850 | Carbs | molecules our cells use to get energy | |
| 269351851 | glucose | what do our cells run on and is burnt as fuel in a complex biochemical reaction | |
| 269351852 | complex sugars | linked simple sugars | |
| 269351853 | monosaccharides | simple sugars (made up or only one sugar molecule) | |
| 269351854 | disaccharide | two simple sugar molecules joined together (sucrose) | |
| 269351855 | lactose | a disaccharide that can be found in many dairy products | |
| 269351856 | polysaccharides | many sugar molecules joined together in long chains (gycolgen, cellulose, and starch common polysaccharides found in food) | |
| 269351857 | glycogen | what do animals store glucose as | |
| 269351858 | starch | what do plants store glucose as | |
| 269351859 | leaves, stalks, trunks | what do plants use cellulose for | |
| 269351860 | Fats and lipids | chain of carbon molecules built from glycerol molecules attached to 3 chains of fatty acids | |
| 269351861 | long term energy | what do our cells use fats and lipids for | |
| 269351862 | hydrophobic | things that dont mix with water (like fats and lipids) | |
| 269351863 | saturated fats | are solid at room temp | |
| 269351864 | unsaturated fats | are liquid at room temp | |
| 269351865 | steroids | can be cholesterol or chemical signs like testosterone or estrogen. | |
| 269351866 | proteins (polypeptide chain) | mad up of amino acids, structures that are muscles, enzymes that control chemical reaction, and antibodies that protect your body from disease | |
| 269351867 | amino acid | a monomer that consists of a central carbon atom bonded to four partners | |
| 269351868 | high/ low pH and temperature change | what can denature or damage the shape of a protein? |
