proteincomplex organic compound that consisits of amino acids joined by peptide bonds
carbohydrateorganic compound originally formed as a product of photosynthesis
nucleic acida large, complex molecule made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorous
lipidcompound responsible for the storage of energy in organisms as well as for the insulation of organisms
amino acidthe building block of proteins that contains 1 amino group (-NH2) and 1 carboxyl group (-COOH)
enzymeprotein that act as biological catalyst to speed up chemical reactions
channel proteinprotein that are found in the cell membranes that aid in transporting molecules in and out of the cell
monosaccharidethe simplest carbohydrate or a simple sugar
peptide bondbond that hold amino acids together to form a dipeptide
polypeptideprotein that contains many amino acids
saturated fatty acida lipid when 1 carbon is bonded to another carbon by 1 bond
