What are the building blocks of protein?

• ATP

• Proteins

• Amino Acids

• Huh?

Think of it as the "energy currency" of the cell.

• ATP

• Glucose

• Proteins

• RNA

A naturally occurring compound, or a derivative of such a compound, with the general chemical formula C(H2O), made up of molecules of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O)

• Fatty Acids

• Carbon?

• DNA

• Carbohydrates

a linear, ribbon-shaped polymer of glucose molecules

• Fatty Acids

• Polymer

• Cells

• Cellulose

A form of biochemical reaction wherein a water molecule is lost or removed from the reacting molecules.

• Unsaturated

• DNA

• Dehydration reaction

• H bond

a molecule that contains the genetic code that is unique to every individual

• Cells

• RNA

• DNA

• Ribose

any of a class of organic compounds that react with water to produce alcohols and organic or inorganic acids

• Ester linkage

• Macromolecule

• Organic molecule

• Ribose

The building blocks of the fat in our bodies and in the food we eat.

• Nucleic Acids

• Fatty Acids

• Saturated

• Polymer

A small organic molecule with three hydroxyl (OH) groups
