Molecules for life

York High School Biology Chp 5.1-5.4

QuestionAnswer
organic molecule molecule that contains carbon
inorganic molecule molecule that does not contain carbon
hydrolysis reaction breaks down a polymer to turn into monomers by adding water. The water breaks the bonds.
dehydration synthesis removes water from monomers and turns them into polymers because when the water is gone they can bond
examples of macromolecules carbohydrate, lipid and protien
monomer and ploymer of carbohydrates m = monosaccharide, p = polysaccride
monomer and polymer of lipids m = glycerol(fatty acids, p = triglyceride
monomer and polymer of protiens m = amino acids(20 diffrent), p = polypeptide
monosaccride the simplist carbohydrate: a one sugar monomer
disaccride two sugar monomers linked together
polysaccride three or more sugar monomers bonded to form a complex carbohydrate
starch a polysaccride found in plant cells
cellulose a polysaccride found in a plants cell wall that gives it its ridges
glycogen a polysaccride found in animal cells and stored in the liver and muscles
property of lipids hydrophobic
saturated fat fatty chain with hydrogen atoms, they are solid at room temp and are unhealthy
unsaturateed fat fatty chain that does not have the maximum hydrogen atom, healthier
functions of protiens structural, messenger, fight disease and control chemical reactions
denaturation protien losses its shape so it can not function. caused by enviorment and ph
ionic bond a chemical bond formed by the transfor of an electron to another atom
covalent bond sharing of one or more electrons between two atoms
cholesterol essential lipid found in the cell membrane. it is needed to produce other steroids

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
