QuestionAnswer
molecule group of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds
organic molecule bonding that occurs between 2 or more carbon atoms
carbohydrates organic marcromolecules that are made of carbon hydrogen and oxygen
simple carbohydrates monosaccharides
monosaccharides glycose, fructose, and ribose
monosacharides can be: combined to form polysacharides
nucleic acids form nucleotide monomers
nucleotides chemically compounds that contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus
main types of nucleic acids RNA and DNA
carbs ratio: 1 carbon atom: 2 hydrogen atoms: 1 oxygen atom
may be simple or complex carbs
The presence of multiple carbon-hydrogen bonds within carbohydrates makes them an excellent source of energy carbs
polysacharide examples Glycogen, starch, and cellulose
used for long term energy storage polysacharides
cellulose found in cell wall of plants
They consist of a five-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base, and one or more phosphate groups. nucleotides
contains ribose RNA
contains deoxyribose DNA
stores genetic information and encodes the sequences of all the cell's proteins. DNA
involved in the direct production of the proteins. RNA
different because the sequence of nitrogenous bases that they contain are different. nucleic acids
five nitrogenous bases found in nucleic acids. Adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G) are found in both DNA and RNA. Thymine (T) is only found in DNA, and uracil (U) is only found in RNA.
lipids organic macromolecules that are insoluble in water
fats most important lipids
triglycerides type of fat that contain one glycerol molecule and three fatty acids.
