Name: _______________________________________________________ Period: _____ Vocabulary Unit 2 Biomolecule Molecules containing the substances that are necessary for performing life functions Carbohydrate A biomolecule containing hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio and is used as a primary energy source Lipid A biomolecule composed of glycerol and fatty acids that is hydrophobic Protein A biomolecule composed of amino acids connected by peptide bonds Amino Acid Molecule that contains an amine group, a carboxylic acid group, and a side chain specific to each amino acid Polymer A large Molecule formed by the bonding of smaller molecular units Organic A chemical compound containing carbon and relating to living organisms Glucose A simple carbohydrate, supplies quick energy Monosaccharide Building block (monomer) of a carbohydrate Fatty Acids Building block (monomer) of a lipid Hydrophobic A substance that does not react with water (water fearing) Hydrophilic A substance that reacts with water (water loving) Monomer A small molecular unit that can be chemically combined with other small molecular units to form a larger molecule Dehydration Synthesis The chemical process in which water molecules are released to form bonds between monomers to produce polymers Hydrolysis The chemical process in which water molecules are added to break the bonds of a polymer Metabolism All of the physical and chemical processes that occur within an organism Products The substances resulting from a chemical reaction Reactants Any substance that undergoes chemical change Atom Building block of a molecule Molecule Two or more atoms bonded together
