Question | Answer |
Monosaccharide | A single, simple sugar. |
Disaccharide | Double sugars (Maltose) |
Polysaccharide | 3 or more sugars (Starch) |
Dehydration Synthesis | The process of removing water to join two monomers together. |
"ose" | A frequent ending for carbohydrates. |
Hydrolysis | The process of adding water to split molecules into monomers. |
Cellulose | The most abundant organic compound on Earth. Found in cell walls of plants. |
Saturated Fat | Solid at room temperature, "saturated" in hydrogen molecules, is a straight molecule, so it is stackable. |

Glycerol | The BACKBONE of fats. |
Polymer | A large compound made of smaller monomers |
Monomer | Small sun bits that can combine to form large polymers |
Macromolecuoles | Large biological molecules |
Organic | Molecules that contain carbon. |
Carboxyl | |
