What is triglyceride? (fatty acids)
What is the process called when a water molecule is released from peptide bonds
Condensation
The bond between the monomers.
What is a peptide bond?
Nucleic acids are made up of these elements...
What are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Phosphorous?
What are the functions of carbohydrates
Energy and structural support
Has only single bonds and is solid at room temperature.
What is saturated lipid (fat)?
Define hydrophilic
Water-loving
A type of protein that speeds up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy.
What are Enzymes?
Three components of a nucleotide.
What are phosphate group, 5 carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base?
What elements make up carbohydrates
Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen
Two main functions.
Energy, structural support and cell membrane structure?
What are the two "groups" that can be found in proteins?
Carboxyl and Amino groups
The elements that make up proteins
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen
What is the function of nucleic acids
stores and transmits genetic information
Examples are cellulose, starch and glycogen.
What are polysaccharides?
Elements found in lipids.
What are Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen?
Define mono, di and poly
one, two and many
Give two functions of proteins
What are structural support, energy, builds tissue, fights disease
Give two examples of nucleic acids
DNA, RNA and ATP
What is the formula for simple sugars
C6H12O6
Give three examples of Lipids
Butter, Oils, whipped cream, cheeses,
What is one difference between saturated and unsaturated fat?
Saturated has single carbon bonds and unsaturated have at least one double carbon bond.
Saturated fats are solid at room temperature
Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature
