Organic Molecules

Bio. 4.1.1 Organic Molecules

TermDefinition
Organic Molecules Compounds that contain Carbon and are found in all living things
Proteins Nitrogen - containing compounds made up of chains of amino acids
Proteins Enzymes, Hormones, antibodies, and structural components
Lipids water-insoluable (fats and oils)
Lipids made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; composed of glycerol and fatty acids
Lipids provide insulation, store energy, cushion internal organs, found in biological membranes
Saturated Fats Fats that are solid at room temperature, have single bonds between all carbon atoms
Unsaturated Fats Fats that are liquid at room temperature, have some double bonds between carbon atoms
Carbohydrates Major source of energy for most living things, includes sugars and starches
Carbohydrates Made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen with a 1; 2:1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen
Glucose Simple sugar used by most plants and animals during cellular respiration to make the energy molecule ATP
Nucleic Acids These direct the instruction of proteins
Nucleic Acids These contain genetic information an organism receives from its parents
Nucleic Acids Two types are DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid and RNA (ribonucleic acid)
Enzymes Break down Complex Molecules
Enzymes Speed up Chemical Reactions ( Catalyst)
Enzymes Contains an Active Site which a Substrate Binds to while being broken down
Enzyme Changes its shape to fit the substrate that attaches to it
Enzymes Are Reusable and Goes Back to their original shape
Enzymes They are substrate specific
Enzymes Type of protein, made of amino acids
Amino acids A group of molecules that are all alike except for their side or "R" chain.
Amino Acids The monomers for Proteins
Glucose The monomer for Carbohydrates
Contains a Glycerol head and 3 fatty acid Chains The monomer for Lipids
Nucleotides The monomer for Nucleic Acids
Enzymes All end in "ase"
Carbohydrates Sugars, most end in "ose"

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.
