Carbohydrates
These are the monomers (building blocks) of carbohydrates
monosaccharides
These are the monomers of proteins
amino acids
These two components typically form fats (triglycerides)
glycerol and fatty acids
These are the monomers of nucleic acids
nucleotides
The bond that links sugar monomers together
glycosidic bond
The bond between two amino acids
peptide bond
Lipids are not considered true polymers because they lack these repeating units
monomers
This sugar is found in DNA nucleotides
deoxyribose
This storage polysaccharide is found in plants
starch
This level of protein structure describes the sequence of amino acids
primary structure
This type of lipid makes up cell membranes
phospholipids
The type of bond that links nucleotides together
phosphodiester bond
This carbohydrate provides structural support in plant cell walls
cellulose
Proteins that speed up chemical reactions in the body
enzymes
The bond that attaches fatty acids to glycerol
ester bond/linkage
This molecule carries genetic information in the cell
DNA
Carbohydrates are built through this process, which removes water
dehydration synthesis
These two factors most commonly cause a protein to denature
temperature and pH
This type of fatty acid contains no double bonds and is solid at room temperature
saturated fat
These three components make up a nucleotide
phosphate group, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base
