What are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen? Accept: C, H, and O.
This abbreviation represents an element, such as C for carbon.
What is a chemical symbol?
This is the monomer that links into protein chains.
What is an amino acid?
In a neutral atom, this equals the number of protons.
What is the number of electrons?
Glucose, galactose, and fructose are examples of this carbohydrate subgroup.
What are monosaccharides? Accept: simple sugars.
Nitrogen is in group 15 or 5A, so a Lewis dot symbol for a neutral nitrogen atom has this many valence electrons.
What are five valence electrons?
This molecule has a glycerol backbone joined to three fatty acids.

What is a triglyceride?
The lightest element containing only one proton and one electron.
What is hydrogen?
This nucleic-acid monomer contains a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

What are eight neutrons?
Two monosaccharides joined together make a what?

What is a disaccharide?
In F₂, each fluorine shares one pair of electrons with the other atom, making this kind of bond.

What is a single covalent bond?
A fatty acid with one or more carbon–carbon double bonds is described this way.

What is unsaturated?
The periodic table of elements is placed in order by this.
What is the atomic number?
Acceptable: What is the number of protons inside the nucleus of an element?
This macromolecule includes enzymes and is composed mainly of C, H, O, and N.
What is a protein? Accept: proteins.
For the first ten elements in these Bohr models, the second energy level holds no more than this many electrons.
What are eight electrons?
A long chain of monosaccharides linked together forms this type of carbohydrate.
![]()
What is a polysaccharide?
In a Lewis structure of carbon dioxide, carbon forms one of these with each oxygen to complete the atoms' octets.

What is a double bond?
What is this type of lipid?

Phospholipid
A main-group element in group 17 or 7A has this many valence electrons.
What are seven valence electrons?
This molecule stores hereditary information and is shown as two antiparallel strands.
What is DNA? Accept: deoxyribonucleic acid.

What is glycogen?
In acetylene, C₂H₂, the two carbon atoms share three pairs of electrons.

What is a carbon–carbon triple bond?
Triglycerides provide this type of energy storage and also help insulate the body.
What is long-term energy storage? Accept: energy storage and insulation.
Carbon is in group 4A or 14; the Lewis dot rule in the notes gives it this many valence electrons and potential bonding sites.
What are four? Accept: four valence electrons and up to four bonds in the simple model.
Amino acids joined by peptide bonds form this polymer.
