|
Definition
| Each Subunit in a Carbon Based Molecule Bonded in a chain like form is call a monomer. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Is a large molecule made of many monomers bonded together. This term is also known as a Macro Molecule |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Are molecules made of (C)Carbon, (H)Hydrogen, and (O)Oxygen. Examples: Sugars and Starch These both can be broken down to turn into energy! |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Are molecules that includes fats,coils, and cholesterol. Fun Fact: All Lipids are non polar therefore do NOT dissolve in water.Like Carbohydrates, most Lipids are also made up of (C)Carbon, (H)Hydrogen, and (O)Oxygen atoms. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Are chains of carbon bonded to hydrogen atoms. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Is a polymer made of monomers called amino acids |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Are molecules that contain (C)carbon, (O)Oxygen, (H)Hydrogen, (N)Nitrogen and sometimes sulfur. Fun Fact: Organisms use 20 different amino acids in which your body naturally can make 12 of them in turn you eat the other 8 in meats, beans, and nuts. Amino Acids Bonded= Protein |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Are polymers that are made up of monomers called nucleotides. a Sugar + a phosphate group + a nitrogen-containing molecule called a base = a Nucleotide
Nucleic Acids are the instruction manuals for how to make proteins. |

|
Term
|
Definition
| The binding of a cell to another cell, or a cell to a surface, via specific cell adhesion molecules |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a bond between two or more atoms that is provided by electrons that travel between the atoms nuclei, holding them together but keeping them a stable distance apart. sharing electrons between two or more atoms |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a chemical bond in which one atom loses an electron to form a positive ion and the other atom gains an electron to form a negative ion. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A type of chemical bond that is formed when the slightly positive hydrogen atom of a polar covalent bond forms an electrostatic link with the more electreonegative atom of a polar covalent bond in the same or another molecule |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The large, membrane-bounded organelle that contains the genetic material, in the form of multiple linear DNA molecules organized into structures called chromosomes. |
