Carbohydrates are _______________ because they're made up of smaller sugars called monosaccharides.
What are polysaccharides
What are the 3 subatomic particles in an atom?

These two subatomic particles must be equal in number in order to tell what element it is
What are protons and electrons
This happens when a protein loses its shape and can no longer do its job in the body.
What is denaturation
These fatty acids are denoted by having a double bond between carbon atoms.
What is Unsaturated?
Structural formulas show carbon in these two ways
What are chains and rings
I have one strand of a helix with the bases reading A, T, T, C, G, A. What will the other strand need to read to match?
What is T, A, A, G, C, T
What is transferring, and positive (these bond via ionic bonding)
Fill in the blank: The specific _______ will bind to the _____________ right on the ________ _____.
The specific substrate will bind to the enzyme right on the active site.
A fatty acid molecule has 3 chains all connected to a ___________ molecule.
What is glycerol
This polysaccharide is used for energy in animals. It's monomer is glucose.
What is glycogen?
All nucleotides include a phosphate and sugar, along with one other piece that tells whether or not it will be an A, T, C, or G
What are nitrogenous bases (or just bases)
An isotope has 30 neutrons and 26 electrons. What element is this?
What is iron? (26 electrons means 26 protons and protons tell us which element it is)
