ATI Science- Macromolecules Flashcards
Carbohydrates are composed of
monosaccharides
Which of the following organic molecules contain both an amine and carboxyl group
protein
4 basic macromolecules
Carbohydrates, Nucleic acids, Proteins, Lipids
Anabolic vs catabolic
anabolic- building of complex molecules, require energy; catabolic- breakdown of complex molecules, release energy
Building blocks of carbohydrates
monosaccharides (glucose)
Building blocks of protein
amino acid
building blocks of lipids
fatty acids (glycerol)
building blocks of nucleic acids
nucleotides
Primary source of energy that is easily converted to glucose
carbohydrates
Lipids are ____, so they do not mix or bond well with water
hydrophobic
energy storage and provide structural functions
lipids
Examples of lipids
fats, fatty acids, phospholipids , steroids, waxes, glyceride
Condensation reaction vs hydrolysis reaction
water is lost when 2 molecules are joined vs hydrolysis is water is added when 2 molecules are joined
highly selective protein that speeds up the rate of reactions
enzyme
