process of combining two or more molecules to get a larger molecule Dehydration Synthesis
the polymer of a sugar Polysaccharide
How a lipid is made 3 fatty acids, 1 glycerol
Two types of nucleic acids RNA & DNA
Nucleotide is made up of Phosphate, 5 Carbon Sugar, Nitrogen Base
Makes up a protein Amino Acids
breaking down a large polymer into a smaller one Hydrolysis
Why are nucleic acids so important? They carry DNA
Why are carbohydrates so important? Main source of Energy
Examples of Proteins nuts, fish, eggs, meat
Examples of Carbohydrates pasta, bread, potato
DNA has a sugar called deoxyribose
The left side of an equation is Reactant
The right side of an equation is Products
Two examples of a compound are Water & Oxygen H2o+Co2
Making ice tea, the powder is the Solute
Making ice tea, the water is the Solvent
Example of Ionic Bonding salt
Example of Covalent Bonding water
Combine two proteins and you get Peptide Bond
Two parts of the protein are Amino Acids!
Why are proteins important? They build muscle, controls reactants, helps fight diseases, transport info in and out of the cells
which organic compound is matched w/ subunit that composes it? starch - glucose
which organic compound is found in most cells? glucose
which is the carbohydrate molecule? C6H12O6
Plants store carbohydrates in the form of starch

which molecule usually contains hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the ration 2:1 ? carbohydrate
proteins are synthesized from less complex organic compounds known as amino acids
fatty acids and amino acids both contain carboxyl groups
the process by which two monosaccharide molecules combine under certain conditions is the example of dehydration synthesis
which substance are most commonly used as building blocks in the synthesis of some lipids? glycerol and fatty acids!
cellulose is formed from glucose molecules by a process known as dehydration synthesis
