Study Guide

TermDefinition
Amino Acid = Protein monomer - chains of amino acid creates proteins
Biological Macromolecule Polymer Monomer Dehydration systhesis Hydrolysis
Carbohydrate main elements are C, H, O 1:2:1 ratio
Cellulose (carbohydrate) polysaccharide made of glucose monomers found in cell wall of plants that provides structural support
Chitin (carbohydrate) polysaccharide made from modified glucose monomers, found in outer covering insect, cell wall in fungi
Dehydration synthesis process of how monomers become polymers
Denaturation When a protein's structure (and thus its function) is altered when bond break down and change in secondary and/or tertiary structure and a loss of normal function
Deoxyribonucleic acid monomers that DNA sugar portion is Deoxyribose base of A, G, C, or T
Disaccharide (carbohydrate subtypes) two simple sugar monosaccharide linked together
Enzyme catalyze (speed up) chemical reactions
Fat (Lipid ) Fat and Oil, energy storage long term
Fatty acid Three fatty acides +glycerol --> triglyceride (fat molecule)
Glucose (carbonhydrate) Monosaccharide C6H12O6 quick energy source (short term) easily dissolves in water (polar OH functional groups)
Glycerol part of Fats and Oil, glycerol molecule and one or more fatty acid chains. fatty acid is a long chain of hydrocarbons
Amino Acid = Protein monomer - chains of amino acid creates proteins
Glycogen (carbohydrate part of polysaccharide) made of glucose monomers, found in liver and muscles in animals for medium term energy storage
Biological Macromolecule Polymer Monomer Dehydration systhesis Hydrolysis
Hormone (lipid) regulation, growth and development, Steroids
Carbohydrate main elements are C, H, O 1:2:1 ratio
Cellulose (carbohydrate) polysaccharide made of glucose monomers found in cell wall of plants that provides structural support
Chitin (carbohydrate) polysaccharide made from modified glucose monomers, found in outer covering insect, cell wall in fungi
Monosaccharide (Carbohydrate subtypes) simple or single sugar, small/single sugar, many different types, backbone of 3-7 carbon atoms, most small carbohydrate are soluble in water due to polar OH funcational group
Dehydration synthesis process of how monomers become polymers
Nucleic acid (Nucleic acids) made of C,H, O, N, P. made of nucleotides that made from monomers
Denaturation When a protein's structure (and thus its function) is altered when bond break down and change in secondary and/or tertiary structure and a loss of normal function
Deoxyribonucleic acid monomers that DNA sugar portion is Deoxyribose base of A, G, C, or T
Peptide bond (Protein) covalent bond that forms between two amino acids
(DNA) Deoxyribonucleotides
Disaccharide (Carbohydrate) two simple sugar monosaccharide linked together
Enzyme (Lipid example) catalyze (speed up) chemical reactions
Polysaccharide (Carbohydrate subtype) Long chain of many simple sugar monosaccharides linked together
Fat (Lipid) parts of main subunits, fatty acid chain, formed by dehydration synthesis
Primary structure (Protein 1st level) simply the sequence of amino acids linked together in a chain
Fatty acid Three fatty acides +glycerol --> triglyceride (fat molecule)
Protein Made by amino acid
Glucose (carbonhydrate) Monosaccharide C6H12O6 quick energy source (short term) easily dissolves in water (polar OH functional groups)
Glycerol part of Fats and Oil, glycerol molecule and one or more fatty acid chains. fatty acid is a long chain of hydrocarbons
Saturated fatty acid (lipid) only single bond between carbons (fattu acids is saturated with hydrogens) are soild at room temperature (butter)
Glycogen (carbohydrate part of polysaccharide) made of glucose monomers, found in liver and muscles in animals for medium term energy storage
Secondary structure (Protein 2nd layer) curve and bend that form by the interaction of the amino acids
Hydrolysis polymers can be broken down into monomers
Lipid diverse group of molecules made almost entirely of elements hydrogen and carbons, all lipids contain long chain of nonpolar hydrocarbons, most lipid are hydrophobic
Monomer smaller molecules
Triglyceride Three fatty acides +glycerol --> triglyceride (fat molecule) due to three fatty acids, fat are often called this
Unsaturated fatty acid (lipid) having one or more double bond between carbon, liqid at room temperature (oil for example)
Nucleotide made up of three components: a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar, and one or more phosphate groups
Oil (lipid) energy storage (long-term) fat and oils
Phospholipid (lipid) main function molecule that forms the plasma membrane that surrounds all cells
Polypeptide/ polymer amino acids attach to each other through dehydration synthesis to form the polymer
Quaternary Structure (4th layer of protein) When two or more (separate) polypeptide structures come together to form a larger protein
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) Copies of small portions of DNA used by the cell when making protein during translation and transcription
Secondary structure (2nd layer of protein) are the curves and bends that forms by the interation of the amino acids
Starch (Carbohydrate example for polysaccharides) made of glucose monomers, used as longer term energy storage for plants
Steroid (Lipid example for Hormone) Ring of carbon with various functional groups protruding from them
Sucrose (Nucleic acid example) one of the type of nucleotides monomers, sugar portion is Ribose, base are A, G, C, U
Tertiary structure (protein 3rd layer) complex folding (two different parts of the protein interact) R group interact and form hydrogen bonds or disulfide linkage that results in complex 3-d structures

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.
