| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what element does carbon bond with to make up life's molecules? | carbon bonds with hydrogen,oxygen,phosphorus,sulfur,and nitrogen to form life's molecules. |
| carbohydrate | a compound made up of carbon,hydrogen,and oxygen atoms;a type of nutrient that is the main source of energy for body. |
| lipid | a marcromolecule made mostly from carbon and hydrogen atoms;includes fats,oils,and waxes. |
| nucleic acid | a macromolecule containing hydrogen,oxygen,nitrogen,carbon,and phosphorus. |
| protein | a macromolecule that contains carbon,hydrogen,oxygen,and nitrogen;needed by the body for growth and repair. |
| amino acid | a compound with an amino group on one end and a carboxyl group on the other end. |
| protein | a macromolecule that contains carbon,hydrogen,oxygen,and nitrogen;needed by the body for growth and repair. |
| amino acid | a compound with an amino group on one end and a carboxyl group on the other end. |
| chemical reaction | the process that changes,or transforms,one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals. |
| activation energy | the energy that is needed to get a reaction started. |
| catalyst | a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction. |
| enzyme | a protein catalyst that speeds up the rate of specific biological reactions. |
| what are the functions of carbohydrates? | carbohydrates provide energy and structural support for living things. |
| what are the functions of lipids? | lipids are used to store energy and are parts of membranescand waterproof coverings. |
| what are the functions of nucleic acids? | nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information. |
| what are the functions of proteins? | some proteins control cell processes and the rate of reactions. other form important parts in cells,while still others still move substances into or out of cells or help to fight disease. |
| protein structure | hemoglobin is a protein made up of four polypeptide chains.Near the center of each polypeptide is an iron-containing heme group.An oxygen molecule is bound by each heme group. |
| nucleotides | each nucleotide is made up of a 5-carbon sugar,a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base.Nucleic acids are made up of many nucleotides joined together |
| levels of structure | amino acids are joined in long chains according to instructions coded in DNA |
| the chemisrty of carbon | the chemistry of carbon is very important for living things |
