Carbohydrates
The two main uses of carbohydrates.
Fuel for cells AND building materials.
Main use in body.
To function as the main component of cell membranes.
The monomer of protein.
Amino acids.
Function of nucleic acid.
To code and store genetic information
What chemical reactions involve/do.
Changing the chemical bonds that join atoms into compounds.
The monomer of carbohydrates.
Monosaccharides
The monomer of lipids.
Fatty acids.
Two examples of protein functions.
Hormones, transport, structure, storage, enzymes, defense, etc. (all acceptable answers)
Two examples of nucleic acid.
DNA and RNA
The elements or compounds that engage in a chemical reaction.
Reactants.
Two examples of carbohydrates.

Two examples of lipids.
Fats, oils, waxes, etc. (all acceptable answers)
What amino acids are called when linked together.
Polypeptides.
The monomer for nucleic acids.
Nucleotides
The elements or compounds produced by a chemical reaction.
Products.
The name for simple sugars, such as glucose.
What lipids do not mix/combine well with.
Water, because lipids are oily.
The two group that amino acids are made of.
The amino group and the carboxyl group.
The function of ATP.
To capture and transfer chemical energy.
Where animals get the energy to carry out the chemical reactions required to live.
Plants. (Plants get their energy from the sun)
The name for complex sugars, such as starch.
Polyssacharides
The two main elements/atoms that make up lipids.
Carbon and hydrogen.
The thing that makes amino acids different from each other.
R-groups; side chains that contain different components for each type of amino acid
What nucleotides are made up of.
A 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
The thing that speeds up the chemical reactions in cells.
Enzymes
