| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| polysaccharides | carbohydrates that consist of tens of hundreds of monosaccharides joined through dehydration synthesis, classified as macromolecules |
| disaccharides | formed when 2 monosaccharides bonds in dehydration synthesis reaction |
| Adenosine triphosphate | ATP; consists of adenosine unit (adenine + ribose) and 3 phosphate groups |
| monosaccharides | simple sugars |
| Conjugated proteins | amino acids combined with other organic or inorganic compounds |
| Proteins | large organic molecules that contain Carbon, Hydrogen,Oxygen, and Nitrogen |
| lipids | essential to the structure and function of membranes that separate living cells from their environment; composed of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen atoms, nonpolar molecules, insoluble in water, dissolves in nonpolar solvents such as ether and chlorotorm |
| nucleic acids | macromolecule consisting of nucleotides,DNA and RNA |
| sterol | an --OH group attached to a carbon ring, an alcohol |
| adenosine diphosphate | formed when ATP is hydrolyzed and energy is released |
| Condensation (reaction) | chemical reaction in which a molecule of water is released,also called dehydration synthesis |
