| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Dehydration Synthesis | the removal of an H20 molecule |
| Dehydration Synthesis is also called... | Condensation Synthesis |
| What does dehydration synthesis allow us to do? | construct polymers, link monomers, and synthesize macromolecules |
| Anabolism | the process to which Dehydration Synthesis is called |
| Hydrolyaia Synthesis | uses water to split split molecules (must add water) |
| What does hydrolysis synthesis allow us to do? | break down macromolecules into smaller subunits |
| Catabolism | the process to which Hydrolysis Synthesis is called |
| What do macromolecules feed into? | Cellular Aerobic Respiration (C.A.R.) |
| What allows Adenosine Try-Phosphate (ATP) to be made? | Cellular Aerobic Respiration |
| What is ATP? | how cells get their energy (also a mono-nucleotide) |
| What monomers feed into C.A.R.? | glucose (fructose and galactose), glycerol and fatty acids, and amino acids |
| Where is glucose, fructose and galactose from? | "storage polysaccharides," and disaccharides |
| Where are glycerol and fatty acids from? | lipids |
| Where are amino acids from? | proteins |
| Carbohydrates | CHO 1:2:1 ratio |
| Simple sugars of Carbohydrates | monosaccharides and disaccharides |
| Storage polysaccharides | from alpha glucose monomers (which can be broken down) |
| What do storage polysaccharides include? | glycogen (animals) and starch (plants) which can be broken down |
| Structural polysaccharides | polysaccharides of beta glucose monomers (which cannot be broken down) |
| What do structural polysaccharides include? | cellulose in plants (the cell wall) |
| What does "ose" mean? | oxygen |
| Mono= what? | single |
| Saccher = what? | sugar |
| Trioses is what? | three oxygen |
