Study Notes
Nucleotides
- Adenine combines with ribose to form a nucleotide
- Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids
Energy Conversion
- The process of energy conversion is called cellular respiration
Hydrophobic Compounds
- Hydrophobic compounds are a class of carbon-containing compounds that do not dissolve readily in water
- They are largely nonpolar and hydrophobic
Energy Source
- ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level
Nucleic Acids
- Nucleic acids are classified as either deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA)
- They are polymer macromolecules
Enzymes
- Enzymes are proteins made up of amino acids
Disaccharides
- A molecule formed when a glucose molecule and a galactose molecule combine is called lactose
Producers
- Autotrophic organisms are able to produce their own food
