Exam Deck Chemistry 2 Flashcards
fiber, starch
polysacchrides
glucose and fructose, provide quick energy
monosaccharides
lactose, sucrose, two sugars linked by covalent bond
disaccharides
glucose, fructose
simple sugar
fast source of energy
carbohydrates
water hating
hydrophobic
water binding
hydrophillic
chains of these make up proteins
amino acids
includes cholesterol, estrogen, testosterone and other hormones
steroids
Formed by long chains of nucleotides, DNA and RNA, blueprint for all the proteins in all living things
nucleic acids
diverse group of hydrophobic molecules, fats, phosopholipids, steroids
lipids
often liquid at room temperature, found in oils, plants and fish fats
unsaturated fat
solid at room temperature, usually found in animals
saturated fat
Double layer of lipids, one hydrophilic and one hydrophobic, are in cell membranes
phospholipids
Made of proteins, critical for all the activities in your body
enzymes
