Synthesis
Large molecules built from smaller organic molecules
What are Biological Macromolecules?
Most abundant natural bipolymer
What is cellulose?
Diverse of compounds that are largely nonpolar in nature
What are lipids?
Catalysts in biochemical reactions
What are enzymes?
Two main nucleic acids
What are DNA and RNA?
Single subunits that make up macromolecules
What is a monomer?
Glucose, Fructose, Galactose
What are types of monosaccharides?
Unlike other lipids, this lipid has a fused ring structure
What is a steroid?
Monomers that form proteins
What are amino acids?
RNA uses this instead of thymine (T)
What is uracil (U)?
Monomers combine with each other to create these
What are polymers?
Cellulose and starch are examples of this
What are polysaccharides?
A molecule with two fatty acids and a modified phosphate group attached to a glycerol backbone
What are Phospholipids?
Bond formed between two amino acids by a dehydration reaction
What is a peptide bond?
DNA can express a particular gene by synthesizing RNA
What is transcription?
While making polymers, water is released.
What is dehydration synthesis?
Covalent bond between two monosaccharides
What is a Glycosidic Bond?
Covalent bond between two lipids
