Lipids and Nucleic Acids
Enzymes
Carbohydrates
Polymers
Proteins and Prions
100

Found in DNA and RNA and are made up of many nucleotides in a long chain.  It stores information about how to make proteins.

Nucleic acids

100

Exothermic reaction

100

These kinds of saccharides transport monosaccharides through the body

Disaccharides

100

This can be linked and used in many different ways, making it not needed in such high numbers for structure

Monomers

100

An organic molecule with an asymmetric carbon in the middle of the structure; 20 different ways of organization, is the monomer of proteins

Amino Acids

200

Area of an enzyme that the protein bonds to during a reaction

Active site

200

These kinds of saccharides are used for structure and energy storage

Polysaccharides

200

This kind of structure coils and folds resulting in a helix or sheet formation

Secondary structure

300

Plays a role in forming and maintaining cell membranes and structures

Cholesterol

300

These building components are the reason for structural differences in polysaccharides

Monosaccharides

300

This structure is held together with disulfide bridges and the overall shape of the protein results from the secondary structure

Tertiary structure

400

Saturated and Unsaturated 

400

The process by which a protein's various structures are stripped due to a strong acid or base or some other stress

Denaturing

500

Fatty acids that are insoluble in water.  There are many kinds of these things.  Used to store energy in many cases.  

Lipids

500

This problematic situation of infecting cells and having no cure is due to what kind of protein?
