| Monosaccharide | A monosaccharide is one sugar molecule. They usually have six carbon, twelve hydrogen, and six oxygen atoms in one molecule with the formula (CH 2 O)x. They may also be in a six-carbon ring or a five carbon ring. The important idea is that it is one piece.,  |
| Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) | ADP is the result when ATP loses one of its phosphate groups when the energy is released to power up many vital cellular processes.,  |
| Nucleic Acid | (DNA or RNA) Long, chainlike molecules composed of nucleotides.,  |
| Carbohydrate | A carbohydrate is an organic compound with the general formula Cm(H2O)n, that is, consisting only of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, the last two in the 2:1 atom ratio. Carbohydrates can be viewed as hydrates of carbon, hence their name.,  |
| Saponification | A chemical process that produces soap from fatty acid derivatives.,  |
| Condensation Reaction | A chemical reaction in which two molecules or moieties (functional groups) combine to form one single molecule, together with the loss of a small molecule.,  |
| Hydrolysis | A chemical reaction in which water reacts with a compound to produce other compounds; involves the splitting of a bond and the addition of the hydrogen cation and the hydroxide anion from the water,  |
| Lipid | A fatty or waxy organic compound that is readily soluble in nonpolar solvent (e.g. ether) but not in polar solvent (e.g water). Its major biological functions involve energy storage, structural component of cell membrane, and cell signaling.,  |
| Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) | An organic compound that is composed of adenosine (an adenine ring and a ribose sugar) and three phosphate groups, hence, the name.,  |
| Polysaccharide | Any of a class of carbohydrates whose molecules contain chains of monosaccharide molecules,  |
| Disaccharide | Any of a variety of carbohydrates that yield two monosaccharide molecules on complete hydrolysis,  |
