Biochemistry Word Wall
2
Biomolecules An organic molecule produced by living organisms and made mostly of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
3
Organic molecules Molecules that contain carbon; the “chemicals of life”
4
Monomer Small molecules that are the subunits or building blocks of larger molecules
5
Polymer A chain of many monomer molecules bonded together to form a large molecule
6
Carbohydrates Group of organic biomolecules made up of C, H and O and the include sugars, starches, and cellulose
7
Lipids Group of organic biomolecules made up of C, H and O and that include fats, waxes, oils, phospholipids and steroids.
8
Proteins Group of organic biomolecules made up of C, H, O and N that are chains of many amino acids bonded together.
9
Nucleic Acids Group of organic biomolecules made up of C, H, O, N, and P and that include DNA and RNA.
10
Dehydration Synthesis The creation of a bond between monomers that releases a molecule of water when the bond is created; used to build biomolecules
11
Hydrolysis The breaking of the bonds between monomers of a biomolecule using a molecule of water to break the bond.
