  1. 4. A covalent chemical bond formed between two amino acid molecules.
  2. 6. Proteins have four structures: primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure.
  3. 7. A covalent bond formed between a carbohydrate molecule and another molecule.
  4. 8. Or fruit sugar, is a simple monosaccharide found in many plants.
  5. 12. Are simple sugars, the number of carbon atoms usually ranges from three to seven.
  6. 13. The most abundant natural biopolymer on Earth because it is the main component in plant cell walls.
  7. 14. Also known as roughage or bulk, refers to the indigestible carbohydrates found in plant-based foods.
  8. 15. Adenosine triphosphate is a molecule which acts as a universal energy currency for living cells.
  9. 16. Sugars capable of acting as a reducing agent because it has a free aldehyde group or a free ketone group.
  10. 17. Have the same chemical formula but have slightly different structures.
  11. 19. These reactions create building blocks for and help synthesize energy.
  12. 20. Consist of an amino group and a carboxyl group connected by an alpha carbon. The R group, also known as side chain, differs with each.

  1. 1. A disaccharide consisting of the monomers glucose and galactose.
  2. 2. The process by which animals convert food into a type of energy usable by their cells
  3. 3. The building blocks of life, are synthesized in all forms of living cells.
  4. 5. Consist of two sugar molecules.
  5. 7. A type of sugar with the chemical formula C6H12O6, in humans, an important source of energy.
  6. 9. molecules built from sugars.
  7. 10. Protein make up more than 50% of the dry mass of most cells.
  8. 11. Long chain of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds
  9. 18. The stored form of sugars in plants. It is made up of a mixture of amylose and amylopectin, both polymers of glucose.
