Carbohydrate
Protein
Nucleus Acid
Long molecule consisting of many similar blocks linked by covalent bonds.
Monomer
Make up polymers
Dehydration Reaction
Molecules covalently bond while losing a water molecule.
Enzymes
Speed up chemical reactions
Hydrolysis
Polymers to monomers by adding a water molecule.
Carbohydrates
Sugars and polymers of sugars
Monosaccharides
Simplest carbohydrate
Simple sugars
Disaccharides
Double sugars
Two monosaccharides joined by a glycosidic link.
Polysaccharide
Composed of many sugar monosaccharides.
Cellular Respiration
Cells take energy from glucose by breaking them down
Glycosidic link
Covalent bond formed between two monosaccharides.
Cellulose
Major component of the tough walls that enclose plant cells
Lipids
Hydrophobic
Nonpolar
Fats
Glycerol and fatty acids
Is a lipid
Saturated fatty acid
As many hydrogen bonds as possible “saturated” with hydrogen.
Unsaturated fatty acid
One or more double bonds
