| biochemistry | study of chemicals that make up living things |
| molecule | Atoms form bonds that hold them together in a group called a |
| biomolecules | Molecules that make up cells are very large molecules called |
| carbon atom | the main component of a biomolecule |
| organic compounds | the 4 very large biomolecules are also known as |
| carbohydrates,lipids,proteins,nucleic acids | the 4 major types of biomolecules in living things |
| carbohydrates | made up of carbon&oxygen,in a 1:2:1 ratio |
| glucose,fructose | simple sugars |
| starches | complex carbohydrates, do not dissolve in water |
| lipids | fats, oil,waxes found in living things |
| fatty acids | long chains of carbon & hydrogen atoms; dissolve in oil. |
| glycerol | lipid(s) which store lots of energy, also provide insulation |
| cholesterol | fatty substance that can build up in blood vessels of humans |
| proteins | made up of smaller molecules called amino acids |
| amino acids | contain carbon,hydrogen,oxygen,nitrogen , sometimes sulfur |
| oxygen | proteins called hemoglobin carry ____ to your lungs & body cells |
| antibodies | proteins called _____ protect your body from infection |
| enzymes | proteins called _____ regulate the chemical reactions that go on in cells |
| nucleic acids | 2 types are DNA & RNA |
| DNA & RNA | contain instruction for maintenance, growth & reproduction of a cell |
