Molecules Flashcards
W
Monomers
Small molecules, link together to make macromolecules(polymers)
Polymers
a chain on monomers
Dehydration
water removed, created a new bond
Hydrolysis
water is added, bond broken
Carbohydrates
Sugars, main source of energy for organisms made of C H O
Monosaccharides
Monomers that make sugars
disaccharide
Two monomers linked by dehydration
di=2
polysaccharide
Long chain of sugar linked by dehydration
Lipids
Fats used mostly uses for long term energy storage/cushion and insulation/ hydrophobic / made of CHO
Saturated fat
@ll carbons have max # of bonds /straight line / unhealthy
Unsaturated fat
Some carbons have double bonds / bent / healthy
Protiens
Do everything in a cell , what dna codes for, C H O N F S
amino acids
Monomers that make protein
Polypeptide
(Protein)
Peptide bonds
Bonds in proteins that hold amino acids together
