Biology Vocab 2

Most common type of organic compound, store energy, example is sugar

• carbohydrate
• RNA
• amino acids
• protein

Organic compound, store energy, triglycerides/phospholipids/steroids are types, example fat?oil

• DNA
• double helix
• lipid
• nucleic acid

Complex carbohydrate, forms when simple sugars bind together in a chain

• carbohydrate
• RNA
• polysaccharide
• chemical bond

Carbon atoms bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as possible, molecules form straight chains, store energy, solid at room temperature, animals use to store energy

• polarity
• saturated fatty acid
• base
• exothermic reaction

Deoxyribonucleic acid, consists of two polynucleotide chains

• DNA
• exothermic reaction
• polarity
• RNA

Ribonucleic acid, consists of one polynucleotide chain

• polysaccharide
• polarity
• RNA
• biochemical reaction

Carbon atoms does not bond to as many hydrogen atoms as possible, causes chains to bend, liquids at room temperature, plants use to store energy

• polysaccharide
• unsaturated fatty acid
• RNA
• lipid

force that holds molecules together

• lipid
• RNA
• chemical bond
• DNA
