Independent And Dependent Variables Flashcards
Carbohydrate
Molecule composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; includes sugars and starches
Lipid
Nonpolar molecule composed of carbon hydrogen, and oxygen; includes fats and oils
Protein
Polymer composed of amino acids linked by pep side bonds; folds into a particular structure depending on bonds between amino acids.
Nucleus acid
Polymer of nucleotides; the genetic material of organisms
DNA
Molecule that stores genetic information in all organisms
Amino acids
Molecule that makes up proteins
Hemoglobin
Iron-rich protein in red blood cells that allows cells to absorb oxygen
Starch
Branched chains I glucose molecules; made and stored in plants
Enzyme
Protein that catalyzes chemical reactions for organisms
ATP
High energy molecule that contains, within its bonds, energy that cells can use
Monosaccharide
Most basic carbohydrate; simple sugars
RNA
Nucleus acid molecule that allows for transmutation of genetic information and protein synthesis
Oil
Plant fats
Phospholipid
Molecule that forms a double-layered cell membrane
Coenzyme
A molecule that bonds the two carbon molecule made from the breakdown of pyrites
