Alpha Glucose
Beta Galactose
Alpha Galactose
(Beta) Fructose
Saccharides
Carbohydrates
1:2:1 Ratio
Carbon:hydrogen:oxygen ratio of carbohydrates
Monomer
Small molecule that makes larger molecules, including sugars (carbohydrates)
Solute
Dissolved in solvent
Solvent
Dissolves solute
Hypertonic
More solute, cells in it release water and shrink
Isotonic
Same amount of solute, water flows both ways and cells stay the same
Hypotonic
Less solute, water goes into cell and it expands, sometimes animal cells can pop
Dehydration Synthesis
Chemical reaction where water is a byproduct released from molecules merging, also called condensation
Hydrolysis
Chemical reaction that uses a water molecule to release a molecule from another molecule
Polymerization
When monomers combine into a polymer
Saturated Hydrocarbon
Only single bonds, straight line, made of fatty acids
Unsaturated Hydrocarbon
Double or triple bonds, curved line, made of fatty acids
Glycosidic Linkage
Bond between a carbohydrate and another molecule
Fatty Acid
Long chain containing an even number of carbons with a carboxyl group at the end
Monounsaturated
Only one double bond
Polyunsaturated
Multiple double bonds
