Macromolecules And Enzymes (Biology) Complete Study Guide
monomer - -small chemical unit that makes up a
polymer lipids - -which macromolecule is used by the body
as long term energy storage?
polymer - -molecules composed of many monomers
that make up macromolecules enzyme - -A type of protein that speeds up a
chemical reaction in a living thing by lowering the
activation energy; it is a biological catalyst
carbohydrate - -macromolecule made up of C, H,
and O that is the major source of energy for the body
activation energy - -energy that is needed to start a
reaction
monosaccharide - -monomer of a carbohydrate
lowering - -enzymes speed up chemical reactions by
lipid - -nonpolar macromolecules made of C, H, and (lowering/raising) the activation energy
O that makes up cell membranes
fatty acids and glycerol - -monomers of lipids
nucleic acid - -macromolecules made up of C, H, O,
N, and P that store genetic information
lipid - -wax is an example of
nucleotide - -a monomer of a nucleic acid; contains
a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base carbohydrate - -glucose is an example of
protein - -a macromolecule that contains C, H, O, saturated fats - -A fat that contains only single
and N that the body uses for cell processes bonds between each carbon; A fat that is solid at room
temperature
amino acid - -a monomer of a protein; there are 20
different types unsaturated fats - -a fat that contains at least one
double bond between two carbons; fats that remain liquid
at room temperature
polysaccharide - -a large sugar molecule (a polymer
of a carbohydrate)
Carbon - -an element that bonds to form straight
chains, rings, or branched chains creating a variety of
protein - -Which macromolecule are enzymes? organic compounds; can form up to 4 covalent bonds
nucleic acids - -which macromolecule is DNA and starch - -plants use this polysaccharide for energy
RNA? storage
organic compounds - -types of compounds that glucose - -An example of a simple sugar that is an
contain carbon important source of energy
macromolecules - -carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, Reactants - -A starting material in a chemical
and nucleic acids are four types reaction
