| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| MONOMER | each subunit in the complete molecules is called a monomer. |
| POLYER | is a large molecules,or macromolecule,made of many monomers bonded together. |
| CARBONHYDRATES | are molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and the include sugars and starches. |
| LIPID | are nonpolar molecules that include fats,oils,and cholesteral |
| FATTY ACIDS | are chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. |
| PROTIEN | is a poler made of monomers called amion acids. |
| AMINO ACIDS | are molecules that contain carbon,hydrogen,oxgen,nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur. |
| NUCLEIC | are polymers that are made up of monomers called nucleotides. |
| chemical reaction | change substances into different substances by breaking and froming chemical bonds. |
| reactants | are teh substances changed during a chemical reaction |
| products | are the substances made by a chemical reaction |
| bond energy | is the amount of energy that will break a bond between two atoms |
| equilibrium | is reached when noth the reactants and products are made at the same rate. |
| activation energy | is the amount of enegry that needs t obe absorbed for a chemical reaction to start. |
| exothermic | chemical reaction releases more energy then it absorbs |
| endothermic | chemical reaction absorbs more energy than it releases |
| catalyst | is a substance that decreases the activation enegry needed to start a chemical reactions and as a result, also increases the rate of a chemical reaction |
| enzyme | are catalysts for chemical reactions in living things |
| substrates | the spcific reactants that an enzyme acts on. |
