1st Semester Review

Macromolecule

• large molecules made up of smaller subunits
• fats that are insoluble (will not dissolve) in water
• product of when two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction (two sugars)

Organic Compound

• complex carbohydrate that forms when simple sugars bind together in a chain (many sugars)
• carbon based compound found in living things
• proteins that speed up chemical reactions in cells

Disaccharide

• product of when two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction (two sugars)
• contain and carry the instructions for the functioning of a cell
• fats that are insoluble (will not dissolve) in water

Polysaccharide

• proteins that speed up chemical reactions in cells
• complex carbohydrate that forms when simple sugars bind together in a chain (many sugars)
• a statement that tells what will happen under certain conditions

Lipid

• large molecules made up of smaller subunits
• fats that are insoluble (will not dissolve) in water
• product of when two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction (two sugars)

Enzyme

• carbon based compound found in living things
• proteins that speed up chemical reactions in cells
• large molecules made up of smaller subunits

Nucleic Acid

• complex carbohydrate that forms when simple sugars bind together in a chain (many sugars)
• contain and carry the instructions for the functioning of a cell
• a statement that tells what will happen under certain conditions

Chloroplast

• convert solar energy to chemical energy in plants
• supply energy to the cell - powerhouse of the cell
• closely layered stacks of membrane-enclosed spaces that process, sort, and deliver proteins

Nucleus

• molecules move down a concentration gradient, from high concentration to low concentration
• control center - stores genetic information
• provides rigid support for plants

Golgi Body/Apparatus

• closely layered stacks of membrane-enclosed spaces that process, sort, and deliver proteins
• the diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane
• convert solar energy to chemical energy in plants
