QuestionAnswer
1.Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are organic macromolecules that are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
2.mono-saccharides. Carbohydrates may be simple or complex. Simple carbohydrates are also known as
2.polysaccharides. Mono-saccharides can be combined to form more complex carbohydrates known as
3.Nucleic Acids Nucleic acids are formed from nucleotide monomers.
4.Nucleotides chemical compounds that are primarily comprised of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
5.Lipids organic macromolecules that are insoluble in water.
6.unsaturated fats contain some carbon-carbon double bonds.
7.Proteins Proteins are organic macromolecules.
8.amino acid Proteins are organic macromolecules that are composed of amino acid monomers.
9.Hormones are protein-containing substances that play a role in the regulation of cellular functions.
10.antibodies Substances containing proteins that play a role in defense
11.active sites Most enzymes have a surface with one or more deep folds.The folds make pockets called active sites
12.molecule. A group of atoms that is held together by covalent bonds is known as a molecule.
13.organic molecule If bonding occurs between two or more carbon atoms, the group is known as an organic molecule.
14.Macromolecules are groups of molecules that are joined together. There are four main macromolecules of life - carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins.
15.two main types of nucleic acids ribonucleic acids (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA)
16.Cellulose, a major component found in the cell walls of plants.
17.DNA and RNA different functions (1-2) DNA stores genetic information and encodes the sequences of all the cell's proteins.
18.DNA and RNA different functions (2-2) RNA is involved in the direct production of the proteins.
19.The most important lipids, however, are fats.
20.Triglycerides are a type of fat that contain one glycerol molecule and three fatty acids.
21.The fatty acids in saturated fats do not contain any double bonds between the CH2 units
22.Saturated fats are found in butter, cheese, chocolate, beef, and coconut oil.
23.Unsaturated fats are found in olives and olive oil, peanuts and peanut oil, fish, and mayonnaise
24.Fats are important because they are a major source of energy
25.Most enzymes have a surface with one or more deep folds

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.
