Proteins
What is an amino acid?
This is the monomer of carbohydrates
What are monosaccharides?
What are the monomers/polymers of lipids?
What is glycerol/fatty acids?
This is the monomer of nucleic acids
What are nucleotides?
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen
What is the polymer of a protein?
Polypeptide
This is the function of carbohydrates
Short-term energy
This is the purpose of lipids
For insulation, long-term energy, cushioning of internal organs, and structural support (cell membrane)
These elements are present in nucleic acids
What are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and sometimes Phosphorous?
Define macromolecule
A large complex molecule essential for life.
A type of protein that speeds up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy.
What is an enzyme?
These foods are a good source of carbohydrates
What are the polymers of lipids?
They don't have any
What is made up of Nucleic Acids?
DNA and RNA
What do monomers join together to build.

What elements are found in Lipids?
What are Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen
What is the polymer of Nucleic Acids?
Nucleic Acids
What is the combination of two monomers to build a polymer and remove water?
Dehydration synthesis
The functions of proteins
Structural support (cell membrane), Protection, catalysts, transport, and defense.
What three elements are carbs made of?
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
What foods contain Lipids?
What is oil, butter, and lard?
What is the function of Nucleic Acids
To store genetic information
This is the relationship between monomers and polymers
A polymer is comprised of several bonded monomers
