Chemistry of Cells
Glucose, galactose, fructose
What are monosaccharides?
Lactose, maltose, sucrose
What are disaccharides?
This atom in water has a negative charge
What is oxygen?
What are plants?
The enzyme that works on the molecule glucose
The type of fat that has as many hydrogens as possible.
What are saturated fats?
This type of bond is the weakest type of bond. It allows the properties of water to exist.
What is a hydrogen bond?
This property of water states that water can stick to molecules other than water
What is adhesion?
This makes up the hard part of shells and bones. It takes a long time to decay
What are carbonates?
The process that breaks up molecules
These types of fats include nuts, avocados and olive oil.
What are unsaturated fats?
These are the building blocks for proteins.
What are amino acids?
When making a pitcher of Kool Aid, this acts as the solute.
What is the Kool Aid powder/ mix?
Fossil fuels come from these.
What are dead and decaying organisms?
This happens when enzymes are affected by really high temperature of high or low pH. The shape of the enzyme is changed & the substrate can no longer fit.
What is denaturing?
Antibodies are an example of this macromolecule.
This is the building block of nucleic acids.
What are nucleotides?
This is a substance that does not mix with water / it is insoluble.
What is a hydrophobic substance?
This functional group has a COOH attached to a carbon
What is a carboxyl group?
What is activation energy?
This is the chemical formula for simple sugars (such as glucose)
What is C6H12O6?
This is an important energy carrying molecule that is a single nucleotide.
What is ATP?
This acts as a buffer in blood.
What is bicarbonate?
This type of functional group has a double bonded oxygen attached to the middle of a molecule.
What is a ketone?
What are hydrogen bonds?
