| 4770789071 | Carbohydrates |  | 9 | |
| 4770790892 | Glucose - C6H12O6 Monosaccharide Used for quick energy Building block of all carbohydrates The carbon atoms are numbers 1 through 6 |  | 10 | |
| 4770794239 | Glycerol 1 glycerol + 3 fatty acids -> lipid |  | 11 | |
| 4770795046 | Lipids |  | 12 | |
| 4770797516 | Fatty Acids Saturated Fatty Acid (left molecule) Found in animal fat All bonds between carbon atoms are single bonded Unsaturated fatty acid (right molecule) Found in plant oil Contains at least one double bond between carbon atoms |  | 13 | |
| 4770799433 | Steroid Classified as a lipid Component of plasma membranes that make the membrane less fluid, more stable nonpolar and hydrophobic Many are sex hormones in vertebrates Ex: cholesterol |  | 14 | |
| 4770800621 | Amino Acid building block of proteins There are 20 different amino acids Humans can synthesize only 12 and must ingest the other 8 |  | 15 | |
| 4770801522 | Proteins (A) |  | 16 | |
| 4770802038 | Proteins structures |  | 17 | |

| 4770804344 | Energy |  | 19 | |
| 4770804957 | Enzyme Characteristics |  | 20 | |
| 4770807460 | The reaction is exergonic because the potential energy (PE) of the products is less than that of the reactants The presence of a catalyst enables the reaction to occur at a lower temperature (In an endothermic reaction, the PE of the products is greater than the PE of the reactants) Gibbs free energy = how much free energy is available In exergonic reactions ΔG is negative |  | 21 | |
| 4770808508 | Activation Energy | Energy required to begin a reaction | 22 | |
| 4770808759 | Substrate | The molecule an enzyme works on. Ex: The enzyme maltase catalyzes maltose into glucose | 23 | |
