Organic molecules containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are long chains of simple sugars.

A simple sugar, the basic building block of carbohydrates.

A type of carbohydrate formed when two glucose molecules join together.

Large complex carbohydrates made up of many glucose molecules joined together. Examples include starch, glycogen, and cellulose.

Organic molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. They are long chains of amino acids.

Organic molecules containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are made up of glycerol and three fatty acid chains.

A single molecule in fats that is attached to three fatty acid chains.

A test that uses Benedict's solution to detect the presence of reducing sugars, like glucose. A positive test results in a color change from blue to orange or brick red.

A chemical test that uses iodine solution to detect the presence of starch in a sample. A positive result is indicated by a color change from orange-brown to blue-black.

A chemical test that uses Biuret solution to detect the presence of protein in a sample. A positive result is indicated by a color change from blue to violet/purple.

A chemical test that uses ethanol to detect the presence of lipids (fats and oils) in a sample. A positive result is indicated by a cloudy emulsion forming when the ethanol is added to water.

A chemical test that uses DCPIP solution to detect the presence of Vitamin C in a sample. A positive result is indicated by the blue color of the dye disappearing.

The molecule that contains the genetic instructions for the growth and development of all organisms. It has a double helix structure, consisting of two strands of nucleotides wound around each other.
