Carbohydrates
This simple sugar is the primary source of energy for cell respiration.
Glucose
These are the basic building blocks monomers that make up proteins.
Amino Acids
Because lipids do not mix with water, they are described by this term meaning "water-fearing."
Hydrophobic
These two primary nucleic acids store and pass on genetic information.
DNA & RNA
Chemical equations must be balanced to satisfy this fundamental scientific law, which states they matter cannot be created or destroyed.
Law of Conservation of Mass
Plant cell walls get their strong structure from this carbohydrate.
Cellulose
This type of specialized protein speeds up chemical reactions in the body.
Enzyme
These specialized lipids make up the double-layer structure of the cell membrane.
Phospholipids
DNA and RNA are built from smaller monomer units called these.
Nucleotides
This side of the arrow represents the reactants.
Left Side
Complete the analogy. Sucrose : Glucose + Fructose :: _______ : Glucose + Galactose
Lactose
This type of chemical bond links individual amino acids together in a chain.
Peptide Bond
Fats that contain double bonds between carbon atoms and are usually liquid at room temperature are called this.
Unsaturated Fats
In DNA, adenine always pairs with thymine, while cytosine always pairs with this base.
Guanine
To balance an equation, you change these large numbers placed in front of chemical formulas, never the small subscript numbers inside them.
Coefficients
Two simple sugars like glucose and fructose combine to form sucrose, which is classified as this type of carbohydrate.
Disaccharide
There are 20 different amino acids in nature:
_ Essential and _ Non-Essential.
9 Essential Amino Acids
11 Non-Essential Amino Acids
The cell membrane is made of a lipid bilayer that regulates the entry and exit of substances. This strict internal regulation process is known as this.
Homoeostasis
Unlike DNA, RNA contains this nitrogenous base instead of thymine.
Uracil
Balance: H₂ + O₂ → H₂O
H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, in this exact ratio.
1:2:1
This structural protein is the most abundant protein in the human body, providing strength and elasticity to skin, bones, and connective tissues.
Collagen
Cholesterol, estrogen, and testosterone belong to this group of lipids characterized by four fused carbon rings.
Steroids
A single nucleotide is composed of three main parts: a phosphate group, a nitrogenous base, and this.
Pentose Sugar
Describes a chemical change.
