This protein is used to catalyze chemical reactions. They end with -ase.
Function of lipids
energy storage, insulation/temperature regulation
DNA has how many strands?

What bond is between atoms that share electons?
covalent
It is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
Photosynthesis
The monomer for proteins.
amino acids
A phospholipid has two parts, which part loves water?
phosphate head/hydrophilic region
The bond that holds the two strands of DNA together
hydrogen bonds
What process is used to break down polymers into monomers?
Hydrolysis
The four categories of building blocks of living organisms - carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids.
Biomolecules or Macromolecules
The "R" group of an amino acid
the part of an amino acid that is unique
The chemical property of lipids that makes it so lipids do NOT mix with water
nonpolar
nucleotide
The enzyme that creates ATP in both Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis.
ATP Synthase
This carbohydrate stores energy for plants.
starch
The function of proteins
structure, hormones, signaling, enzymes
A common lipid in mammals, made of a glycerol and three fatty acids
triglyceride
The function of DNA
Stores information to make proteins
The bond that causes water to have "surface tension"
hydrogen bond
Name the carbohydrate that is considered a disaccharide and is found in milk.
Lactose
The name of many amino acids put together in a long chain
