  1. 1. consists of three molecules of fatty acid combined with a molecule of the glycerol
  2. 2. The basic building block of nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA. An organic compound made up of a nitrogen base, sugar, and phosphate group.
  3. 3. a single atom or molecule which is able to join with other monomers to make new substances called polymers.
  4. 5. the simplest form of carbohydrates. They include sugars such as glucose and fructose
  5. 6. reactant of an enzyme catalyzed reaction
  6. 7. process modifying the molecular structure of a protein.
  7. 9. process that changes, transforms, one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals
  8. 11. part of the enzyme where the substrate binds is called the active site
  9. 13. energy input that is needed for a reaction to begin
  10. 15. molecules that have no double bonds between carbon molecules because they are saturated with hydrogen molecules.
  11. 16. simple organic compound containing both a carboxyl and an amino group. The building blocks for proteins.
  12. 17. substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction
