#1
Front (Question)

Inorganic molecules

Back (Answer)

NaCl, PO, K

#2
Front (Question)

Organic molecules

Back (Answer)

contain C and H (*all organic molecules contain carbon, but not all carbon molecules are organic)

#3
Front (Question)

What is a macromolecule?

Back (Answer)

Large molecules formed by joining subunits together, making a polymer. The subunits are called monomers.

#4
Front (Question)

What are the three types of carbohydrates?

Back (Answer)

monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides

#5
Front (Question)

What are the monosaccharides?

Back (Answer)

(C6H16O6) Glucose, Fructose, Galactose. (C5H10O5) RIbose

#6
Front (Question)

What are the disaccharides?

Back (Answer)

Maltose, lactose, sucrose (C12H22O11)

#7
Front (Question)

Maltose

Back (Answer)

Glucose + Glucose - Water

#8
Front (Question)

Lactose

Back (Answer)

Glucose + Galactose - Water

#9
Front (Question)

Sucrose

Back (Answer)

Glucose + Fructose - Water

#10
Front (Question)

What are condensation reactions?

Back (Answer)

When two monosaccharides are joined together to form a disaccharide with a release of a water molecule

#11
Front (Question)

What bonds are used in polysaccharides?

Back (Answer)

glycosidic linkages

#12
Front (Question)

What is cellulose?

Back (Answer)

A structural material found in the cell wall of plants made up of glucose (structure)

#13
Front (Question)

What is starch?

Back (Answer)

A polymer of alpha-glucose

#14
Front (Question)

What are the two forms of starch?

Back (Answer)

Amylose (un-branched), Amylopectin (branched)

#15
Front (Question)

What is glycogen?

Back (Answer)

a branched polymer of alpha-glucose (most branched of all)

#16
Front (Question)

What are lipids?

Back (Answer)

A group of compounds that mix poorly with water (Triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids)

#17
Front (Question)

Triglycerides

Back (Answer)

• made from one glycerol and three fatty acids • formed by condensation reactions • store energy but do not conduct heat

#18
Front (Question)

What bonds form in triglycerides?

Back (Answer)

ester bonds

#19
Front (Question)

What are the parts of a fatty acid?

Back (Answer)

A carboxyl group (COOH) and an unbranched hydrocarbon train

#20
Front (Question)

types of fatty acids

Back (Answer)

saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated

#21
Front (Question)

What are saturated fatty acids?

Back (Answer)

all the carbo atoms are connected by a single covalent bond

#22
Front (Question)

What are monounsaturated fatty acid?

Back (Answer)

there is only one double bond

#23
Front (Question)

What is a polyunsaturated double bond?

Back (Answer)

there are two or more double bonds

#24
Front (Question)

What are cis unsaturated fats?

Back (Answer)

• all hydrogens are bonded to the same side, creating a bent structure • bent molecule stops them from packing together a room temp
