Water, Biomolecules, & Enzymes Review

Front

This biomolecule provides short term energy and is made of subunits called monosaccharides.

Back

Carbohydrate

Front

Nearly all enzymes are classified as this biomolecule which is made of monomers called amino acids.

Back

Protein

Front

Glycerols and Fatty Acids are the primary components of this biomolecule which provides long term energy storage for living organisms.

Back

Lipid

Front

This property of water enables water molecules to stick to each other creating surface tension.

Back

Cohesion

Front

Transmitting genetic information is the primary function of this class of biomolecules whose monomer is nucleotides.

Back

Nucleic Acids

Front

This property of water allows water molecules to stick to everything else. Example: steam sticking to the mirror after a shower.

Back

Adhesion

Front

This class of biomolecules makes up cell membranes and is not water soluble.
