Question

vocabulary (chapter 2.3) definition example (must be an illustration) monomer small molecules that can be joined to form more complex molecules called polymers in repeated fashion polymer carbohydrate lipid fatty acid protein amino acid nucleic acid

Explanation:

Polymer: Large molecule made of repeating monomers. Example: Starch is a polymer of glucose monomers.
Carbohydrate: Organic compound like sugars and starches, used for energy. Example: Table - sugar (sucrose).
Lipid: Hydrophobic organic molecule, includes fats and oils. Example: Olive oil.
Fatty Acid: Building - block of lipids. Example: Oleic acid in olive oil.
Protein: Polymer of amino acids, has various functions. Example: Hemoglobin in blood.
Amino Acid: Small molecule that makes up proteins. Example: Glycine.
Nucleic Acid: Macromolecule storing genetic information. Example: DNA.

Answer:

Vocabulary (Chapter 2.3)	Definition	Example (Must be an illustration)
Polymer	Large molecule composed of repeating monomer units	Starch (a polymer of glucose monomers)
Carbohydrate	Organic compounds including sugars, starches, and cellulose, used mainly for energy storage and structural support	Table - sugar (sucrose)
Lipid	Hydrophobic (water - fearing) organic compounds, including fats, oils, and waxes	Olive oil
Fatty Acid	Long - chain carboxylic acids that are building blocks of lipids	Oleic acid (in olive oil)
Protein	Polymers made up of amino acids, performing functions like catalysis, transport, and structural support	Hemoglobin (in red blood cells for oxygen transport)
Amino Acid	Small molecules that are the building blocks of proteins	Glycine
Nucleic Acid	Macromolecules (DNA and RNA) that store, transmit, and express genetic information	DNA
