1 Polymer Molecule made of many monomers bonded together
Also known as a Macromolecule

2 Monomer molecule that can bond to other similar molecules to form a larger molecule

3 Macromolecule A polymer with a high molecular mass; four groups within living things: carbohydrates, lipids, protein, nucleic acids

4 Carbohydrates A macromolecule that contains atoms of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in 1:2:1 ratio and serves as a major source of energy for living things

5 Protein A macromolecule that contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen; performs a variety of structural and regulatory functions for cells

6 Peptide Bond Type of bond connecting two amino acids to form a protein

7 Lipids hydrophobic macromolecule consisting of a long chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms

8 Base any compound that increases the number of hydroxide ions when dissolved in water; falls above 7 on the pH scale

9 Acid compound that forms hydrogen ions (H+) in solution; falls below 7 on the pH scale

10 Dehydration Synthesis
a chemical reaction in which two or more molecules combine to produce water or another simple molecule

11 Hydrolysis

12 Catalyst A substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed at a faster rate by lowering activation energy

13 Enzyme A protein that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being changed by the reaction; organic catalyst

14 Nucleotide Monomer used to build nucleic acids (5 types)

15 Nucleic Acid A biological macromolecule (DNA or RNA) composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus that stores genetic information
