Question
Answer
Monosaccharide   Simplest form of carbohydrate, consisting of a single sugar unit building block for more complex carbohydrates  
🗑
triose   monosaccharides that contain 3 carbons  
🗑
isomer   a molecule that has the same composition as another but different arrangement of atom  
🗑
glycosidic bond   a bond between 2 monosaccharides  
🗑
hydrolysis reaction   water breaking energy released water is used anabolic (bigger to smaller  
🗑
dehydration Reaction   covalent bond between sub units formed by the removal of H and OH from functional groups of adjacent subunits energy is absorbed water realised.  
🗑
neutralization reaction   an acid and base react to form salt and water  
🗑
Redox reaction   reaction that involve the full or partial loss or gain of electrons LEO the lion goes GER  
🗑
polysaccharide   a molecule that contains many monosaccharides  
🗑
monomer   a small molecule that can bind chemically to other molecules  
🗑
polymer   a large molecule that is formed when monomers link to gather chemically  
🗑
cellulose   main component of plant cells its long strait and has very large numbers of poler hydroxyl groups  
🗑
starch   storage of energy  
🗑
lipids   non-polar macromolecule composed of mostly hydrocarbons  
🗑
triglycerides   composed of fatty acids and glycerol  
🗑
fatty acids   a long hydrocarbon chain with carboxyl group  
🗑
saturated fats   solid at room temp no double bonds found in most animal fat and butter (unhealthy)  
🗑
unsaturated fats   liquid at room temp has double bonds found in plants and fish (healthy)  
🗑
glycerol   has 3 carbons with hydroxyl groups  
🗑
phospholipid   composed of 1 glycerol 2 fatty acids and 1 phosphate group  
🗑
steroids   a lipid that is composed of four fused carbon rings  
🗑
cholesterol   essential for animal cell membranes and converts a number of compounds including vitamin D  
🗑
proteins structural function   bones muscles hair hooves  
🗑
proteins functional function   enzymes  
🗑
amino acids   the monomer of proteins  
🗑
primary structure   a polypeptide  
🗑
secondary structure   Beta- pleated sheets(fold) alpha- helix(coils)creating hydrogen bonds  
🗑
tertiary structure   side chains interact to fold the polypeptide in a unique way  
🗑
denaturation   extreme conditions that cause the bonds to break causing the protein to change its shape and lose function (heat< pH,salt ect)  
🗑
enzyme   a biological catalyst usually a protein that speeds up a chemical reaction  
🗑
   
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
