What is a hydrophobic bio-molecule composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen? Lipid What are building blocks of lipids with long hydrocarbon chains with carboxylic groups at one end? Fatty Acids What is a modified simple sugar that is a building block of lipids Glycerol What is a glycerol with 1 fatty acid ? Monoglyceride What is a glycerol with 3 fatty acids ? Triglyceride What is a glycerol + 2 fatty acids + phosphate Phospholipid What are types of fatty acids that the human body needs but cannot produce ? Essential Fatty Acids What are Fatty acids without double bonds between adjacent carbon atoms ? Saturated Fatty Acids What are fatty acids with double bonds between adjacent carbon atoms ? Unsaturated Fatty Acids What is the term that describes a molecule that dissolves easily in water ? Hydrophilic What is the term that describes a molecule that does not dissolve easily in water ? Hydrophobic What are hydrophylic bio-molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen ? Carbohydrate What is the type of reaction where small molecules are combined into large molecules and water is removed ? Dehydration Synthesis (Condensation) Reaction What is the type of reaction where large molecules are broken down into smaller building blocks and water is added Hydrolysis Reaction What are chain-like molecules made of many similar or repeating units Polymers What are polymers of simple sugars linked together by dehydration synthesis ?
