| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Carbohydrates | made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen ( 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen for every carbon ) |
| Monosaccharides | simple sugars ( benedict's solution ) is used to for ex: Glucose - immed. source of energy for organisms |
| polysaccharides | complex sugars ex: Glycon- an energy storage molecule for mammals, Starch- an energy storage molecule for plants ( lodine test ) for , cellulose - used in the cell walls of plants |
| Lipids- | contain carbon hyogen and oxygen , commonly called fats and oils , used for energy storage insulation and protective coatings ( esp. the cell membrane ) subunits are Proteinsglycerol and fatty acids a simple test for lipids is using a brown paper bag |
| proteins | contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, ex:used for building muscle within red blood cells |
| Enzyme | a type of protein that is used to speed up chemicall reactions, are specific to a reaction and they are reuseable |
| Nucleic acids | complex molecule that stores and transmits cellular information, ex: DNA and RNA basic blocks are nucleotides |
| acids and bases | acids produce hydrogen ions and have a ph below 7 bases producehydroxide ions and have a ph aboue 7 |
