100
A compound made of primarily carbon atoms.
What is an organic compound?
100
This is an organic compund with about a 1 carbon:2 hydrogen:1 oxygen ratio.
What is a carbohydrate?
100
An organic compound made mainly of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
What is protein?
100
Large, non-organic molecules that do not dissolve in water.
What are lipids?
100
Organic macromolecules that store and transfer important information in the cell.
What is nucleic acid?
200
3 pairs of electrons are shared in this.
What is a triple bond?
200
A simple sugar, like glucose and fructose.
What is a monosaccharide?
200
The enzyme changes this in a reaction.
What is a substrate?
200
Unbranched carbon chains that make up most lipids, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, and waxes.
What are fatty acids?
200
DNA and RNA are made of thousands of monomers called this.
What is nucleotide?
300
Monomers bonded to each other.
What is a polymer?
300
Three or more monosaccharides.
What is a polysaccharide?
300
Monomers that link to form proteins.
What are amino acids?
300
The cell membrane is made of this fatty acid, with two fatty acids attached to a molecule of glycerol.
What is a phospholipid?
300
Contains information that determines the characteristics of an organism and directs its cell activities.
What is DNA?
400
In this type of reaction, water is used to break down a polymer.
What is a hydrolysis reaction?
400
Animals store glucose in the form of this polysaccharide.
What is glycogen?
400
This is formed when two amino acids bond.
What is a peptide bond?
400
This type of lipid is a long fatty-acid chain attached to a long alcohol chain.
What is wax?
400
This stores and transfers information from DNA, makes proteins, and acts as an enzyme.
What is RNA?
500
This energy rich molecule consists of ribose, 2 adenines, and 3 phosphate groups.
What is ATP?
500
Plants make this polysaccharide, which is about 50% of wood.
What is cellulose?
500
An enzyme will not work if any of these variables are changed.
What is temperature, pH, shape of the enzyme, and/or shape of the substrate?
500
Unlike most lipids, this lipid is NOT made of fatty acid, but instead, carbon.
What is a steroid?
500
Both DNA and RNA are this kind of molecule. Hint: Found in section one.
What is a polymer?
