100
The general name of a hydrocarbon when the -OH functional group is attached.
What is an alcohol?
100
This is the basic monomer used to build polysaccharides.
What is glucose?
100
In a phospholipid, the polar phosphate group attached to one end is this - meaning "water lover."
What is hydrophilic?
100
The number of different amino acids.
What is 20?
100
This is the name of the process of creating a bond between two monomers by losing a molecule of water.
What is dehydration synthesis?
200
The general formula of an alkyne.
What is C(n)H(2n-2)?
200
The disaccharide that is produced from the bonding of glucose and fructose.
What is sucrose?
200
Cell membranes are composed of lipids - more specifically, the membrane is called this.
What is a phospholipid bilayer?
200
What is the name of the bond between two amino acids?
What is a peptide bond?
200
This is the name of the process of splitting a polymer into smaller pieces.
What is hydrolysis?
300
The name of the molecule that consists of a carbon backbone with 8 carbons surrounded by hydrogens and has a double bonded O on the 3rd carbon.
What is 3-octanone?
300
The general ratio of the elements C, H, and O in carbohydrates.
What is 1:2:1 OR twice as many hydrogens as oxygens?
300
Cholesterol, estrogen, and testosterone are all examples of this type of lipid.
What is a steroid?
300
One function of proteins is to accelerate the rate of chemical reactions. These proteins are called this.
What is enzymes?
300
Plants store energy in the form of starch. Humans, however, cannot create starch. They store energy as this very similar molecule.
What is glycogen?
400
The general name for a hydrocarbon with the following formula: C144H288
What is alkene?
400
This carbohydrate is composed of glucose that alternate their orientation every other bond and each glucose also has an extra Nitrogen group attached.
What is chitin?
400
These 4 monomers combine to form a triglyceride - a fat.
What are 3 fatty acids and a glycerol?
400
This is the word to describe proteins that have "broken" due to a change in their shape, usually caused by heat, acids, or bases.
What is denatured?
400
Antibodies that fight disease in the body are this type of biomolecule.
What is protein?
500
This is name of the relationship that could be used to describe the similarities between butanone and butanal.
What is isomers?
500
This is the name of the actual bond (NOT THE PROCESS) that bonds two adjacent glucose molecules to form longer chains.
What is a glycosidic linkage?
500
Fatty acids can be either saturated or unsaturated. Although the number of carbons and hydrogens in a fatty acid may vary, this functional group is always present to identify fatty acids.
What is -COOH or carboxyl group?
500
The primary structure of a protein is the amino acid sequence. However, once created, proteins usually form an alpha helix structure. This structure is created by this type of bond between amino acids.
What is a hydrogen bond?
500
This is the chemical formula of glucose (and fructose too, since they are isomers.)
What is C6H12O6?
