Proteins
Lipids
Phospholipids
Polymers
100
Used for quick energy and transport in living organisms
What are Monosaccharides?
100
Speeds up reactions by lowering activation energy.
What are Enzymes?
100
Long term energy storage and regulates some body activities/cell activities.
What are the functions of lipids?
100
Glycerol + 2 fatty acids + Phosphate group
What is the structure of phospholipids?
100
Many linked, repeating subunits.
What are Polymers?
200
2 sugars
What are Disaccharides?
200
The small subunits in the structure of proteins.
What are Amino Acids?
200
Associated with animals and animal products.
What are Saturated Fats?
200
Part of the phospholipid bilayer that repels away from water.
What are Fatty Acid Tails?
200
Water is removed to build larger molecule.
What is Dehydration Synthesis?
300
For short term energy use and structional support.
What are Polysaccharides?
300
A chain of amino acids.
What is a polypeptide?
300
Missing some possible C-H bonds and has at least one C=C double bond.
What are Unsaturated Fatty Acids?
300
Part of the phoshpolipid bilayer that attracts to water.
What are the phosphate heads?
300
Adds water to break down larger biomolecules with monomers.
What is Hydrolysis?
400
Long chains of glucose; stored in animals "animal starch".
What is Glycogen?
400
Differs in each type of amino acid.
What are R Groups?
400
Liquids at room temperature(Oils).
What are Unsaturated Fats?
400
Major components of cell membrane.

400
1:2:1 of C:H:O
What is the generalized ratio of Carbohydrates?
500
Long chains of glucose with amino acid complexes attached.
