1. VOCAB #17

2. Lipid Building blocks of lipids are: Glycerol + 3 fatty acids = triglyceride (lipid) Lipids are used as stored energy. Fats and oils

3. Protein Provides structure, enzymes, hormones. Elements are: C,H,O,N Amino acids are the monomers of proteins.

4. Carbohydrates Macromolecule that contains C,H,O in a carbon ring or chain. Function: stores energy. Monosaccharides as their monomers. Examples of monosaccharides: glucose, fructose, galactose

5. Monomer Basic building block of a polymer. Ex. Carb=monosaccharide, protein=amino acid, lipid=triglyceride, nucleic acid=nucleotide

6. Polymer Many monomers joined together. Ex. Monomer + monomer + monomer  polymer

7. Macromolecules Large organic molecules Ex. Carb, protein, lipid, nucleic acid

8. Nucleic Acid DNA and RNA Made up of: 1.sugar 2.phosphate 3.nitrogenous base. (Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, Thymine) Stores information

9. Dehydration Synthesis

10. Hydrolysis Polymer + water  monomer + monomer

11. Starch Large carbohydrate. Cellulose in plants Glycogen in animals.
