QuestionAnswer
Monosaccharide Simplest form of carbohydrate, consisting of a single sugar unit building block for more complex carbohydrates
triose monosaccharides that contain 3 carbons
isomer a molecule that has the same composition as another but different arrangement of atom
glycosidic bond a bond between 2 monosaccharides
hydrolysis reaction water breaking energy released water is used anabolic (bigger to smaller
dehydration Reaction covalent bond between sub units formed by the removal of H and OH from functional groups of adjacent subunits energy is absorbed water realised.
neutralization reaction an acid and base react to form salt and water
Redox reaction reaction that involve the full or partial loss or gain of electrons LEO the lion goes GER
polysaccharide a molecule that contains many monosaccharides
monomer a small molecule that can bind chemically to other molecules
polymer a large molecule that is formed when monomers link to gather chemically
cellulose main component of plant cells its long strait and has very large numbers of poler hydroxyl groups
starch storage of energy
lipids non-polar macromolecule composed of mostly hydrocarbons
triglycerides composed of fatty acids and glycerol
fatty acids a long hydrocarbon chain with carboxyl group
saturated fats solid at room temp no double bonds found in most animal fat and butter (unhealthy)
unsaturated fats liquid at room temp has double bonds found in plants and fish (healthy)
glycerol has 3 carbons with hydroxyl groups
phospholipid composed of 1 glycerol 2 fatty acids and 1 phosphate group
steroids a lipid that is composed of four fused carbon rings
cholesterol essential for animal cell membranes and converts a number of compounds including vitamin D
proteins structural function bones muscles hair hooves
proteins functional function enzymes
amino acids the monomer of proteins
primary structure a polypeptide
secondary structure Beta- pleated sheets(fold) alpha- helix(coils)creating hydrogen bonds
tertiary structure side chains interact to fold the polypeptide in a unique way
denaturation extreme conditions that cause the bonds to break causing the protein to change its shape and lose function (heat< pH,salt ect)
enzyme a biological catalyst usually a protein that speeds up a chemical reaction

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
