|
a class of organic compounds that includes monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides
|
|

condensation synthesis
|
a chemical reaction resulting in a covalent bond with the loss of a water molecule
|
|
|
dissaccharide
|
sugar that contains two untis of monosaccharide

|
|
fat
|
organic molecule that contains glycerol and fatty acids and is found in adipose tissue of vertebrates
|
|
|
fatty acid
|
molecule that contains a hydrocarbon chain and ends with an acid group
|
|
|
fructose
|
hexose monosaccharide frequently found in fruits
|
|
|
glucose
|
six carbon sugar that contains organisms degrade as a source of energry during cellular respiration (found in blood)
|
|
|
hydrophilic
|
type of molecule that interacts with water by dissolving in water and or by forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules
|
|
|
hydrophobic
|
type of molecule that does not interact with water because it is nonpolar
|
|
|
isomer
|
molecules with the same molecular formula but different structure, and therefore, shape.
|
|
|
lactose
|
disaccharide that contains galactose and glucose; found in milk
|
|
|
lipid
|
class of organic compounds that tends to be soluable in nonpolar solvents such as alcohol
(includes fat and oils) |
|
|
monomer
|
small molecule that is a subunit of polymer; (glucose is a monomer of starch)
|
|
|
monosaccharide
|
simple sugar (a carb that cannot be decomposed by hydrolysis)
|
|
|
Nucleic acid
|
polymer of nucleotides; both DNA & RNA are nucleic acids
|
|
|
organic molecule
|
type of molecule that contains carbon and hydrogen; it may also have oxygen attached to the carbon
|
|
|
phospholipid
|
molecule that forms the bilayer of cell membranes; has a polar, hydrophilic head bonded to two nonpolar hydrophobic tails
|
|
|
polymer
|
macromoleculae consisting of covalently bonded monomers; for example, a polupeptide is a polymer of monomers called amino acids
|
|
|
protein
|
molecule consisting of one or more polypeptides
|
|
|
Saturated
|
fatty acids molecule that lacks double bonds between the carbons of its hydrocarbon chain. The chain bears the max. number of hydrogens possible
|
|
|
sucrose
|
dissacharide that contains glucose and fructose; found in plants and is refined as table sugar
|
|
|
unsaturated
|
fatty acid molecule that has one or more double bonds between the carbons of it hydrocarbon chain. The chain bears fewer hydrogens than the max number possible
|
