| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Amino acid | The monomers (building blocks) of proteins. |
| Cholesterol | Organic molecules made mostly of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen that provide energy and can also provide structural support. |
| Carbohydrates | A type of lipid that helps make up cell membranes and is used to make certain hormones. |
| Dehydration synthesis reactions | A reaction that joins smaller molecules together to make a larger molecule by removing water. |
| DNA | A nucleic acid that stores genetic information and provides instructions for making proteins. |
| Enzymes | Proteins that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms without being used up. |
| Fatty Acid | A long chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms that is a building block of many lipids. |
| Functional Groups | Specific groups of atoms attached to molecules that give them their chemical properties and behaviors. |
| Glucose | A simple sugar that cells use as a major source of energy. |
| Glycerol | A three-carbon molecule that combines with fatty acids to form triglycerides and other lipids. |
| Glycogen | A polysaccharide made of glucose that animals use to store energy, mainly in the liver and muscles. |
| Hydrolysis reactions | A reaction that breaks a large molecule into smaller molecules by adding water. |
| Hydrophobic | Meaning “water-fearing”; substances that do not mix or dissolve well in water. |
| Lipids | A group of molecules that includes fats, oils, phospholipids, steroids, and cholesterol. They are generally hydrophobic. |
| Macromolecules | Large biological molecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. |
| Monomers | Small molecules that can be joined together to form polymers. |
| Monosaccharides | The simplest form of carbohydrates, or single sugars. Example: glucose. |
| Nucleotides | The monomers of nucleic acids. Each contains a sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base. |
| Nucleic Acids | A macromolecule that stores and communicates genetic information. DNA and RNA are nucleic acids. |
| Peptide Bond | The chemical bond that connects amino acids together. |
| Phospholipid | A lipid made of glycerol, fatty acids, and a phosphate group. Phospholipids make up most of the cell membrane. |
| Polymers | Large molecules made by joining many smaller monomers together. |
| Polypeptide | A chain of amino acids connected by peptide bonds. One or more polypeptides can make up a protein. |
| Polyssacharide | A carbohydrate made of many monosaccharides joined together. Examples include starch, glycogen, and cellulose. |
| Proteins | Macromolecules made of amino acids that perform many functions, including building structures and speeding up reactions. |
| RNA | A nucleic acid involved in using genetic information to make proteins. |
| Saturated Fats | Fats whose fatty acid chains contain no carbon-carbon double bonds. They are usually solid at room temperature. |
| Steroids | A type of lipid with a structure made of four connected carbon rings. Examples include cholesterol and some hormones. |
| Trans Fat | A type of unsaturated fat with a particular arrangement around a double bond; many artificial trans fats have been associated with negative health effects. |
| Triglyceride | A lipid made of one glycerol molecule and three fatty acids. Commonly used for long-term energy storage. |
| Unsaturated Fat | A fat whose fatty acid chains contain one or more carbon-carbon double bonds. They are often liquid at room temperature. |
