lipids
what do lipids dissolve in
oils, but not water
proteins are formed by units called
amino acids
what is a carbohydrate
a large group of organic compounds occurring in foods and living tissues and including sugars, starch, and cellulose.
what is a nucleic acid
what is a chemical reaction
The monomers combine with each other using covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers.
what are the three variants of lipids
fats, phospholipids, and cholesterol.
a protein contains as few as ____ amino acids
10
what foods have carbohydrates
Dairy. Milk, yogurt, and ice cream.Fruit, Whole fruit and fruit juice
what structure is a nucleic acid
double helix(DNA), purines and pyrimidines.
what are some examples of chemical reactions
carbohydrates,lipids, proteins,nucleic acid
what are the 2 types of fat
saturated, and unsaturated
what is a peptide bond
A peptide bond is a chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, releasing a molecule of water
what structures make up carbohydrates
carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
what function does nucleic acid have
they carry the genetic information that is passed down from parent to child.
what are some real world examples of a chemical reaction
fire, baking a cake, cooking an egg, mixing baking soda and vinegar to produce salt and carbon dioxide gas.
how are saturated fats different from unsaturated.
saturated fatty acids lack double bonds between the individual carbon atoms, while in unsaturated fatty acids there is at least one double bond in the fatty acid chain.
what forms do proteins take
secondary structure, tertiary, and quaternary
what is the function of carbohydrates
to make glucose
what are examples of nucleic acid
RNA,DNA
where do most chemical reactions occur
inside a living organism
what foods have saturated fat
what is a protein
nitrogenous organic compounds that consist of large molecules composed of one or more long chains of amino acids and are an essential part of all living organisms
which is better for you(simple, or complex carbohydrates)
complex
what are 2 types of nucleic acid
deoxyribonucleic acid, ribonucleic acid
how can chemical reactions speed up
regulated by enzymes, which speed up chemical reactions
