| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are three organic compounds? | Sugars, fats, and proteins. |

| What make up lactose? | 1 glucose and 1 galactose |
| What make up maltose? | 2 glucose |
| What is an example of a polysaccharide? | multiple sugar such as starch, plants and glycogen |
| What is glycogen? | sugar stored in muscles and the liver of animals |
| What is starch? | the sugar found in plants |
| What are lipids? | fats, oils, waxes, and steroids |
| What make up lipids? | 3 fatty acids + glycerol |
| What is saturated fat? | maximum of hydrogen |
| What is unsaturated fat? | Not saturated w/ hydrogen |
| What make up proteins? | amino acids |
| How many amino acids are produced in body? | 12 |
| What do enzymes do? | control reactions |
| What does catalyst do? | speed up a reaction |
| What is a substrate | where the reactions act upon |
| What is the active site? | were it attaches. where the reaction takes place |
| What are nucleic acids? | heredity material |
