Biomolecules
All biomolecules are made of these 3 atoms.
These two things link together to form lipids.
What are glycerol and fatty acids?
This biomolecule is made of these 3 atoms.
What are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen?
The monomers of this polymer are called this.
What are nucleotides?
This polymer is made of these atoms.
CHON and sometimes S.
Polymers are made of many of these linked together.
What are monomers?
A fatty acid is made of this linked to a long hydrocarbon chain.
What is a carboxyl group?
These are the 3 categories of carbohydrates.
What are monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides?
These are the atoms that are found in this polymer.
CHNOP
These are monomers of this polymer.
What are amino acids?
These are the 4 types of biomolecules.
What are lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids.
These types of fatty acids have at least one double bond and are liquid at room temperature.
What are unsaturated fatty acids.
These two monomers link together to form sucrose.
What are glucose and fructose?
This is the function of this polymer.
Store and transmit genetic information.
This type of bond holds the monomers of proteins together.
What are peptide bonds?
Carbon is important because of this.
What is it has 4 valence electrons that allows it to bond to it itself creating single, double, or triple bonds. It can also form rings and branches.
This type of lipid has a glycerol plus 3 fatty acids linked to it.
What is a triglyceride?
This carbohydrate polymer is also known as insoluble fiber.
What is cellulose?
These are the 2 types of nucleic acids.
RNA and DNA.
This determines the function of this polymer.
The shape/structure.
This is the definition of macromolecules.
What is very large molecules?
Through this process, an unsaturated fatty acid can be converted to a saturated fatty acid.
What is hydrogenation in which hydrogens are added?
This type of bond links carbohydrates together.
What is a glycosidic bond?
This polymer is found in this organelle.
What is the nucleus?
These types of proteins speed up chemical reactions without be used up.
What are enzymes?
