| dehydration synthesis | polysaccharides made from simple sugar molecules, removing water |
| fermentation | yeast cells produce carbon dioxide and alcohol |
| aerobic hetertroph | uses free oxygen for respiration but cannot make own food |
| carbon fixation | process where plants turn inorganic carbon into organic compounds such as carbohydrates |
| aerobic respiration | repiration requiring oxygen |
| anaerobic respiration | respiration not requiring oxygen |
| photosynthesis | process where organisms capture light energy and make food using carbon dioxide and water |
| lipids | backup soruce of stored energy and component of cellular membranes |
| maltose | white crystalized sugar formed during digestion of starch |
| starch | storage form of sugar in plants; stored as glycogen in humans |
| protein molecules | long chains of amino acids arranged in specific sequence |
| lactic acid | causes muscle fatigue in humans from overproduction and accumulation |
| carbohydrate | contain C, H, O in 1:2:1 ratio; sugar names end in "ose"; also starches |
| inorganic | lack carbon and hydrogen together |
| organic | contain both C and H |
| nucleic acids | DNA and RNA |
| elements in biochemistry | hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon |
| cellulose | composes cell walls of plants |
| chitin | composes shells of insects |
| monosaccharide | single molecule of sugar |
| disaccharide | 2 molecules of sugar or monosaccarides |
| polysaccharide | many monosaccharides |
| hydrolysis | breaking apart (lysing) of molecule by adding water |
| fatty acids | long chains of carbons bound to hydrogens |
| saturated fats | all carbons have single bonds and no room for more H |
| unsaturated fats | carbons have double or triple bonds, room to add H |
| pH scale | scale used to measure acid or bases from 0 to 14, concentration of H |
