This is the monomer of carbohydrates, which tend to get less sweet the more you connect them together.
Monosaccharides (sugars)
These are the three main elements found in Carbohydrates
C, H, and O
This is the function of carbohydrates
Source of fast energy
Structure
The tendency for water molecules sticking to other things
adhesion
An acidic pH is on the lower end of the spectrum, making the most acidic substances such as battery acid this number
0
This is the monomer of lipids, more specifically the tails of the Triglyceride that can be saturated or unsaturated depending on the bonds they make.
Fatty Acids
The elements that make up lipids
C, H, O
The function of lipids
Source of long term energy
insulation
The tendency for water molecules sticking to themselves
cohesion
A basic pH is on the higher end of the spectrum, meaning that things such as drain cleaner this number
14
This is the monomer of protein, and come in both essential and non-essential forms
Amino Acid
The elements that make up proteins
C, H, N, O, (Sometimes S and P)
The function of proteins
Enzymes
Muscle Development
Support Immune Syster
The uneven shape of the water molecule creates a difference in charge that leads to all sorts of unique properties, and is called this.
Polarity
At a pH of 7 the H+ and OH- are equal, making it neither acidic nor basic but this
Neutral
This is the monomer of nucleic acids, which when put together make DNA and RNA
Nucelotide
The elements that make up Nucleic Acids
C, H, N, O, P
The function of DNA and RNA
Store Genetic instruction
Adhesion and cohesion work together to move water against gravity, which is how this type of action in plants allows water to move up its roots.
Capillary action
Lemon juice tends to sting on an open cut, due to being this on the pH scale
Acidic
This is the energy source that allows for our body to use macromolecules in the first place, named after the fact it has three Phosphorus molecules
ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate)
Despite so many macromolecules sharing the same exact element, the simple change in this allows them to do different things.
Structure
This is the main function of an enzyme, and ensures living things stay that way
Speed up chemical reactions
A bond between a positive hydrogen atom of one molecule and an electronegative atom on another molecule, more often than not the oxygen in water. Fun fact, they create Van der Waals forces that geckos used to climb walls
Hydrogen bond
Soaps feel slippery because of their alkalinity, also known as this.
Basic
