Carbohydrates and Lipids
The monomer of carbohydrates
monosaccharide.
The monomer of proteins
amino acid
This pathway involves the breakdown of polysaccharides into monosaccharides.
catabolic pathway
The charges of the oxygen and hydrogen atoms within a water molecule.
oxygen is slightly negative, hydrogen is slightly positive.
This property of water allows water to stick to other water molecules.
cohesion.
The monomer of lipids
fatty acids
The monomer of nucleic acids.
nucleotides.
This pathway involves monosaccharides linking to form polysaccharides
anabolic pathway
The bond within a water molecule.
polar covalent bond.
This property of water allows water to stick to the roots of plants
adhesion.
The polymer of carbohydrates
polysaccharides
The polymer of nucleic acids.
DNA/RNA or polynucleotide chains.
This type of reaction is involved with anabolism.
condensation reaction.
The bonds that hold multiple water molecules together.
hydrogen bond.
This property of water allows ions to be transported in the blood
solvent property
The bond between sugar/carbohydrate units.
glycosidic bond.
The polymer of proteins.
polypeptide chains.
This type of reaction is required to break down large molecules.
hydrolysis reaction.
Water is able to unable to dissolve these types of molecules.
large non-polar molecules
The property of water that is involved when computers run water through the hard drive to cool it down.
thermal property.
The bond between lipid units.
ester bond.
The bond linking multiple amino acids together.
peptide bonds.
This pathway involves the release of energy by breaking bonds.
catabolic pathway.
Cholesterol, fats, and oils are transported in the blood within these.
lipoprotein complexes.
Water is able to absorb a large amount of energy before increasing temperature.
high specific heat
