Science: Putting It All Together

Front 1

Molecule

Back 1

substance created when two or more atoms combine

Front 2

Compound

Back 2

molecules made up of different kinds of atoms

Front 3

What are the six elements?

Back 3

Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorous, and Sulfur

Front 4

What do the six elements form when they combine?

Back 4

Proteins, carbohydrates,lipids, ATP, and nucleic acids

Front 5

Proteins

Back 5

large molecules made up of smaller molecules called amino acids

Front 6

How are proteins made

Back 6

Organisms break down proteins in food to supply the cells with amino acids, amino acids are linked together to form different kinds of proteins the body needs

Front 7

What are some functions of proteins?

Back 7

Protecting Cells, Form Hemoglobin to carry out oxygen, forms hair, spider-webs, horns, and feathers, speeds up chemical reactions with proteins called enzymes

Front 8

Carbohydrates

Back 8

Molecules made of sugar. Used as a source of energy of energy storage for cells

Front 9

What is the difference between simple and complex carbohydrates?

Back 9

Simple carbohydrates are made up of one or few sugar molecules, while complex carbohydrates are made up of hundreds of sugar molecules

Front 10

Lipids

Back 10

Compounds that can't mix with water. They have jobs like storing energy and forming membranes of cells

Front 11

Phospholipids

Back 11

form two layers of the cell membrane

Front 12

Fats and Oils

Back 12

Lipids that store energy, can be used by the body once the ecergy is used up from the carbohydraters.

Front 13

What is the difference between Fats and Oils?

Back 13

Oils are liquid and are found in plants, while fats are solid and are found in animals

Front 14

What does ATP do?

Back 14

ATP is the major energy caring molecule in the cell. It provides fuel for cellular activities. Energy in carbohydrates and lipids must be transferred to ATP before being used

Front 15

What are Nuleic Acids?

Back 15

They are large molecules made up of nucleotides. Contain all the information needed for a cell to make protein. Examples DNA and RNA. DNA has instructions that ells the order of amino acids that make protein.
