All terms in this list:
biomolecule: molecules, such as amino acids, sugars, nucleic acids, proteins, polysaccharides, DNA, and RNA, that occur naturally in living organisms
Macromolecule: ,(biochemistry) a very large molecule, especially used in reference to large biological polymers (e.g. nucleic acids and proteins).
polymer: A long or larger molecule consisting of a chain or network of many repeating units, formed by chemically bonding together many identical or similar small molecules called monomers. A polymer is formed by polymerization, the joining of many monomer molecul
Carbohydrate: A sugar, starch, or cellulose that is a food source of energy for an animal or plant; a saccharide.
Monomer: Monosaccharides
Lipid: Any of a group of organic compounds including the fats, oils, waxes, sterols, and triglycerides. Lipids are characterized by being insoluble in water, and account for most of the fat present in the human body. They are, however, soluble in nonpolar organi
Protein: A large, complex molecule composed of one or more long chains of amino acids, in which each chain is held together by peptide bonds.
Nucleic acid: Any acidic, chainlike biological macromolecule consisting of multiply repeat units of phosphoric acid, sugar and purine and pyrimidine bases; they are involved in the preservation, replication and expression of hereditary information in every living cell.
Starch: A widely diffused vegetable substance found especially in seeds, bulbs, and tubers, and extracted (as from potatoes, corn, rice, etc.) as a white, glistening, granular or powdery substance, without taste or smell, and giving a very peculiar creaking sound
Oil: Liquid fat. Lipid Example.
Enzyme: A globular protein that catalyses a biological chemical reaction.
DNA: A biopolymer of deoxyribonucleic acids (a type of nucleic acid) that has four different chemical groups, called basesadenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.
