Carbohydrates Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen (1:2:1): Building blocks are simple sugars; main energy source for living things.
Amino group (i.e. -NH2) Left side of cell grouping
Side Chain (variable) Bottom of cell grouping
Carboxyl Group Right side of cell grouping
Proteins Macromolecules that contain nitrogen as well as hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. Some control the rate of reactions and regulate cell processes.

Disaccharide "Two sugars" Double Molecule sugars. Examples: Lactose, Maltose, Sucrose.
Polysaccharide "Many Sugars" Have long chains; many simple sugars joined together. (Examples: Starch, Glycogen, Cellulose.)
Elements are made of only one kind of atom.
What is shared when a covalent bond occurs? Electrons
What are the outermost electrons are called? Valence electrons

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
