Midterm Review Flashcards
made of monomers
polymers
process of uniting monomers to make a polymer by removing water
Dehydration Synthesis
process of breaking down a polymer; water is added to break the covalent bond
Hydrolysis
elements of carbohydrates
C, H, O
Monomer of carbohydrates
monosaccharide
makes plant cell walls
Cellulose
Polymer of carbohydrates
polysaccharide
stores plant energy
Starches
stores animal energy
Glycogen
solid fatty acid
Saturated Fat
elements of nucleic acid
C, H, O, N, P
monomer of nucleic acid
nucleotide
elements of lipids
C, H, O
monomer of lipids
fatty acid
liquid fatty acid
Unsaturated Fat
man-made fatty acid
Trans Fat
elements of proteins
C, H, O, N
monomer of proteins
Amino Acid
polymer of proteins
proteins, polypeptide
special proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions
enzymes
mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA
Endosymbiotic Theory
rough: transports proteins
smooth: transports lipids and carbs
Endoplasmic Reticulum
made of protein and RNA molecules, site of protein synthesis
ribosomes
transports vesicles
modifies proteins made by ER
stacks of flat sacs
Golgi Body
