Macromolecules

2. A single sugar molecule such as glucose or fructose, the simplest type of sugar.
4. Polymer composed of amino acids linked by peptide bonds; folds into a particular structure depending on bonds between amino acids
5. Carbohydrates that are made up of more than two monosaccharides. Examples: starch, glycogen, cellulose
10. A chemical reaction that breaks apart a larger molecule by adding a molecule of water
12. Substance that decreases activation energy and increases reaction rate in a chemical reaction
13. Polymer of nucleotides; the genetic material of organisms
15. A very large organic molecule composed of many smaller molecules
17. Large, carbon-based molecule formed by monomers
18. A chemical reaction in which molecules combine by removing water
20. Process by which substances change into different substances through the breaking and forming of chemical bonds

1. Molecule composed of Carbon hydrogen and oxygen; includes sugars and starches
3. Molecule that makes up proteins; composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur
6. A double sugar molecule made of two monosaccharides bonded together. Examples: Sucrose, lactose, maltose
7. Molecular subunit of a polymer
8. a substance deposited in bodily tissues as a store of carbohydrates. It is a polysaccharide. Highly branched chains.
9. polysaccharide consisting of glucose monomers that reinforces plant-cell walls
11. Protein that catalyze chemical reactions for organisms
14. Monomer that forms DNA and has a phosphate group, a sugar, and a nitrogen-containing base. Examples: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine, and Uracil
16. Nonpolar molecule composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen; includes fats, oils and waxes
19. A storage polysaccharide in plants consisting entirely of glucose. Branched chains of glucose.
