Large molecule consisting of multiple smaller parts

Single sugars, often called simple sugars

Most diverse macromolecule in body for enzymes, structural, storage, transport, hormones, receptors, defensive, & contractile

Constructed from glycerol and fatty acids, 3 fatty acids make a triglyceride

The sugar found in DNA

Small molecule that typically serve as the parts of polymers

2 monosaccharides together

A polymer of amino acid monomers

Similar to fats but contain glycerol with 2 fatty acids and a phosphate group (amphipathic molecule)

The sugar found in RNA

Reactions that put monomers together to make polymers

Polymers of sugar, many monosaccharides together

Bonds that are formed when amino acids are linked together with dehydration reactions

A fat with no double bonds between carbons and solid at room temperature

In DNA, these are the nitrogenous bases known as pyrimidines

Reactions that break polymers down into monomer subunits

Storage of carbohydrates found in animals

Gives each amino acid its particular properties

At least one set of carbon atoms with a double bond between them and liquid at room temperature

In DNA, these are the nitrogenous bases known as purines

Type of bonds (strong) that hold macromolecules together

Storage of carbohydrates found in plants, one can be digested by humans and the other cannot

Monomers of proteins

A type of lipid with a carbon skeleton in rings important for reproduction and development of normal physiological traits and secondary sexual traits

Major purpose of RNA is the synthesis of _______
