macromolecules & enzymes Flashcards
peptide bonds
bonds formed between amino acids within a polypeptide
phospholipid
macromolecule that is the main component of cell membranes
polypeptide
long chain of amino acids that makes proteins
nucleotide
monomer : building block of nucleic acids made up of 5 carbon sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base
monosaccharide
simple sugar molecule
lipid
macromolecule made mostly from carbon and hydrogen and some oxygen;
stores energy;
make up cell membrane & insulate
amino acid
monomer / building block of proteins
macromolecule
large molecules that living organisms are made of and need for survival;
biomolecule
protein
function in every process in cells of all organisms;
macromolecule that contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen
chitin
carbohydrate that makes up fungi cell wall
antibodies
proteins that are part of the immune system and attack foreign particles
carbohydrate
macromolecule made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen;
major source of energy and makes up cell wall
cellulose
carbohydrate that makes up plant cell walls
disaccharide
sugar made of 2 monosaccharides
polysaccharide
large carbohydrate made of many monosaccharides joined together
