The 4 classes of large biological molecules that make up all living things
What are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acid
100
Large molecules, such as polymers built from monomers
What are macromolecules
100
The simple carbs and single sugars
What are monosaccharides
100
A group of lipids that does not contain fatty acid chains; cholesterol is an example
What are steroids
100
A protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up chemical reactions
What is an enzyme
200
The monomers from which nucleic acids are made
What are nucleotides
200
A long molecule consisting of many similar building blocks
What is a polymer
200
Monosaccharides molecular formulas are usually a multiple of this
What is CH2O
200
A fat that has no double bonds is called this
What is saturated
200
The covalent bond that connects adjacent monomers in a protein
What is a peptide bond
300
Small molecules that have a carboxyl group and an amino group
What are amino acids
300
The 3 of the 4 classes of life's organic molecules that are polymers
What are carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids
300
Formed when a dehydration reaction joins 2 monosaccharides
What is a disaccharide
300
The chemical name for 3 fatty acids joined to glycerol by an ester linkage
What is triacylglycerol or triglyceride
300
Alpha helices and beta sheets are held together by these
What are hydrogen bonds
400
The function of a molecule is inseparable from this
What is the structure of a molecule
400
A reaction that occurs when 2 monomers bond together through the loss of a water molecule
What is a condensation or dehydration reaction
400
These polymers of sugars may store energy or provide structural support
What are polysaccharides
400
The process of coverting unsaturated fats to saturated fats by adding hydrogen
What is hydrogenation
400
The sequence of amino acids in a protein is this level of structure
What is protein's primary structure
500
The 1 out of the 4 classes of life's organic molecules that is not a polymer
What are lipids
500
A reaction that is essentially the reverse of the dehydration reaction and disassembles polymers to monomers
What is hydrolysis
500
The storage polysaccharide of plants that consists entirely of glucose monomers
What is starch
500
The major component of all cell membranes
What is phospholipids
500
These are three typical functions for proteins
What are catalysis, structural support, storage, transport, cellular communications, movement, defense... (Any three appropriate functions is correct.)
