| Carbohydrates | organic compounds that are energy storage molecules. They contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. They consist of monosaccharide subunits |
| Polysaccharide | long chain of monosaccharides |
| Starch | Carbohydrate that is a polysaccharide that consists of a chain of glucose molecules. Polysaccharide formed by plants by bonding glucose molecules. |
| Cellulose | Carbohydrate that is a polysaccharide that makes up part of a plant cell wall |
| Glycogen | Carbohydrate that is a polysaccharide that stores extra glucose in animals |
| Monosaccharides | subunits of carbohydrates |
| Glucose | Carbohydrate that is a monosaccharide or simple sugar. (Blood sugar) |
| Lipids | organic molecules that function as energy storage molecules and make up cellular membranes. They are made up of fatty acids and glycerol. Fats and oils. Tested with brown paper |
| Protein | Organic molecules that have different functions. They may play a role in immunity, cell communication, or control rates of reactions. They are made up of long chains of amino acids. They contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen |
| Amino acids | subunits of proteins |
| Enzymes | Proteins that speed up chemical reactions |
| Insulin | protein that controls the level of glucose in the blood. Not produced in proper amounts by diabetics |
| Hemoglobin | protein found in red blood cells that are involved in the transport of oxygen |
| DNA and RNA | nucleic acids made of long chains of nucleotides |
| Nucleotide | subunits of the nucleic acids, DNA and RNA |
| Benedict’s solution | an indicator that turns from blue to brick red in the presence of a simple sugar |
| Biuret solution | indicator that changes color in the presence of protein. |
