| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| carbohydrates | contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio |
| cellulose | polysaccharide made of glucose monomers that reinforce plant cell walls |
| glycogen | branched glucose storage polysaccharide found in the liver and muscle of animals: animal equivalent of starch |
| glucose | monosaccharide; used during cell respiration to make ATP |
| monosaccharide | single sugar- glucose, fructose, and galactose are examples |
| polysaccharide | large molecules formed from monosaccharides |
| starch | storage form of glucose in plants |
| dehydration synthesis | chemical reaction that makes polymers |
| hydrolysis | chemical reaction that creates monomers |
| polar molecule | molecule in which one side is slightly positive and the opposite side is slightly negative |
| nonpolar molecule | no partial charges. do not mix with water |
| cohesion | attraction between molecules of the same substance, creates surface tension |
| adhesion | attraction between different kinds of molecules |
| high specific heat | water resists heating and cooling |
| density of ice | solid water is less dense than liquid water due to shape of water and hydrogen bonding |
| evaporative cooling | as water evaporates, its remaining surface cools |
| capillarity | the rise of the surface of a liquid within thin tubes |
| good solvent | many molecules dissolve in water |
| hydrogen bond | weak attraction between water molecules |
| monomer | 1 subunit of a macromolecule |
| polymer | many monomers bonded together |
| organic molecules | contain carbon and hydrogen, usually in the form of chains and rings of carbon |
| inorganic molecules | non-carbon based molecules |
| macromolecule | large polymers |
