Taxon - ANSWER-A group of organisms that share a unique set of features
Organic Molecule - ANSWER-A compound that consists primarily of carbon and
hydrogen atoms
Hydroxyl - ANSWER--OH
Polar
Alcohols and sugars
Carboxyl - ANSWER-COOH
Very acidic
Fatty and amino acids
Phosphate - ANSWER-A salt of phosphoric acid
, -In nucleotides (ATP), phospholipids
Amino - ANSWER-Make up a protein; composed of a Carbon atoms, Carboxyl
Group, Amine Group, Hydrogen, and A radical
Monomer - ANSWER-A simple chemical subunit that serves as a building block of a
polymer
