|
Compounds that occur naturally only in the bodies and products of organisms and contain carbon and hydrogen.
|
|
|
What is Cohesion?
|
The force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.
|
|
|
What is a Polar Molecule?
|
A molecule with regions of partial negativity and partial positivity.
|
|
|
What is Adhesion?
|
The attraction between the molecules of one substance and the molecules of another substance. Water adheres well to other polar molecules.
|
|
|
What are Carbohydrates?
|
Compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (2H:1O). They release energy by breaking down to carbon dioxide and water by oxygen.
|
|
|
What are Monosaccharides
|
the simplest types of carbs; the simple sugars.
|
|
|
What are Disaccharides?
|
A double sugar formed by dehydration synthesis.
|
|
|
What is hydrolysis?
|
The process by which molecules are broken apart by the addition of water molecules.
|
|
|
What are Lipids and how are they formed?
|
Fats, oils, and waxes which serve as reserves for energy. Wax is formed by fatty acids anf a compound similar to glycerol. Fats and oils are formed by fatty acids and glycerol.

|
|
|
What are Unsaturated Fats?
|
Fats with double or triple carbon-to-carbon bonds.
|
|
|
What is Hydrogenation
|
Changing unsaturated fats to saturated fats by adding hydrogen.

|
|
What are Nucleic Acids?
|
Compounds that contain phosphorous, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen. They are RNA and DNA.
|
|
|
What are Nucleotides?
|

|
|
|
What are Proteins?
|
Compounds that contain nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and sometimes sulfur.
|
|
|
What are Peptide Bonds?
|
Bonds between amino acids.
|
|
|
What are Dipeptides and Polypeptides?
|
The resulting molecules between two amino acids.
|
|
|
