| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Monosaccharide | A single, simple sugar. |
| Disaccharide | Double sugars (Maltose) |
| Polysaccharide | 3 or more sugars (Starch) |
| Dehydration Synthesis | The process of removing water to join two monomers together. |
| "ose" | A frequent ending for carbohydrates. |
| Hydrolysis | The process of adding water to split molecules into monomers. |
| Cellulose | The most abundant organic compound on Earth. Found in cell walls of plants. |
| Saturated Fat | Solid at room temperature, "saturated" in hydrogen molecules, is a straight molecule, so it is stackable. |
