| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| organic molecule | bonding between two or more carbon atoms |
| molecule | group of atoms that is held together by covalent bonds |
| macromolecules | group of molecules joined together |
| 4 main macromolecules | carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acid |
| carbs | organic molecules made up of carbon,hydrogen, and oxygen atoms |
| monomer of carbs | glucose-hexagon |
| examples of carbs | polysaccharides,disaccharides,monosaccharides |
| importance of carbs | short term energy, main energy source |
| test for carbs | benedicts solution |
| proteins | organic macromolecules that are composed of amino acid monomers |
| monomer of proteins | amino acids |
