Carbohydrates
The monomer for this group.
What is glucose?
The main function of lipids is _______-term energy storage.
What is long?
This is the monomer for proteins.
What is an amino acid?
RNA stands for this.
What is ribonucleic acid?
The reactant of the enzyme-substrate complex is also called this.
What is the substrate?
A monosaccharide is this.
What is a carbohydrate?
The main components of cell membranes are this.
What are phospholipids?
This group is responsible for distinguishing the 20 different amino acids.
What is the R group, or side chain?
This is the 5-carbon sugar found in DNA.
What is deoxyribose?
Enzymes are this, therefore, they are composed of amino acids.
What are proteins?
Animals store carbohydrates for short term energy as this.
What is glycogen?
A carbon-carbon double bond found in one tail of a triglyceride makes it this type of fat.
What is unsaturated?
This type of bond causes the amino acid to fold into a repeating pattern during the secondary level phase for protein structure.
What is a hydrogen bond?
What is the 5-carbon sugar?
Some sugars end in -ose, whereas enzymes end in this.
What is -ase?
This molecule has the formula C6H12O6.
What is glucose?
These are the monomers of all lipids.
One amino acid will bond with another amino acid through this bond.
What is a peptide bond?
These are the polymers of nucleic acids.
What are DNA and RNA?
This bond is formed as the result of sharing electron pairs.
What is covalent?
These are the three functions for all carbohydrates.
What are:
- quick term energy (glucose)
- short term energy
- structure (cellulose)
A glycerol molecule bonds with three fatty acids and produces three water molecules during this reaction.
What is dehydration synthesis?
Proteins contain a central carbon bonded to these four groups.
What are...
-a hydrogen atom
-a carboxyl group
-an R group
-an amino group
The function of nucleic acids is store and transmit this.
What is hereditary (genetic) information?
Energy required to get some reactions started is called this.
