| What is a chain of carbons attached to hydrogens? | show 🗑
|
||||
| This describes a molecule that repels water (hint: “fear of water”). Example: Fat molecule | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Hydrophilic
🗑
|
||||
| show | Monomer
🗑
|
||||
| show | Polymer
🗑
|
||||
| This is a chemical reaction that uses water to split a polymer into individual monomers (hint: to break with water). | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Dehydration reaction
🗑
|
||||
| This simple sugar is formed through photosynthesis. It is also referred to as “blood sugar.” | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Carbohydrate
🗑
|
||||
| show | Monosaccharide
🗑
|
||||
| A simple sugar made of a double ring. Example: Sucrose. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Polysaccharide
🗑
|
||||
| A long chain of glucose molecules linked together. Function: energy storage in plants. | show 🗑
|
||||
| A complex carbohydrate whose function is energy storage in animals. Found in liver & muscle cells. | show 🗑
|
||||
| A carbohydrate made long glucose chains that is a structural molecule found in plant cell walls. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Fiber
🗑
|
||||
| This is a class of molecules that contain fats & oils | show 🗑
|
||||
| A triglyceride, containing a glycerol attached to three fatty acid chains. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Saturated fat
🗑
|
||||
| This lipid molecule is liquid at room temperature. Its fatty acid chains have double bonds between some of the carbons, causing kinks in the carbon chain. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Olive oil
🗑
|
||||
| This is an example of a saturated fat. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | cardiovascular disease
🗑
|
||||
| Cholesterol found in the cell membrane is used to build this. (not the illegal kind!) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Hormone
🗑
|
||||
| This is a lipid molecule in the cell membrane. Too much of this in the blood causes blood vessel disease. | show 🗑
|
||||
| This molecule is formed by linking together several polypeptides. Example: hemoglobin. | show 🗑
|
||||
| This is a monomer of a polypeptide. There are 20 different ones that can be linked together to form various polypeptide sequences. | show 🗑
|
||||
| A short protein, or a segment of a protein. | show 🗑
|
||||
| This is what happens when you overheat an enzyme. Essentially it means to irreparably change the shape of the enzyme so it no longer works. | show 🗑
|
||||
| The amount of energy it takes to get a chemical reaction started. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Catalyst
🗑
|
||||
| show | Enzyme
🗑
|
||||
| A molecule that binds to the active site of an enzyme. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Active site
🗑
|
||||
| show | C6H12O6
🗑
|
||||
| This is a good source of protein that fits into a vegetarian diet. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | CH2O
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
