Carbohydrate- an organic compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio that approximates 1:2:1. Dehydration synthesis- the joining of two molecules association with the removal of a water molecule. Denature- a temporary or permanent change in the 3-d structure of a protein. Dipeptide- two amino acids joined by a single peptide bond. Fatty acid- hydrocarbon chains that end in a carboxyl group. Glycolipid- compounds created by the combination of carbohydrate and lipid components. Glycoprotein- a compound containing a relatively small carbohydrate group attached to a large protein. Hydrolysis- the breakage of a chemical bond through the addition of a water molecule; the reverse of dehydration synthesis. Hydrophobic- incapable of freely associating with water molecules; insoluble; water- fearing. Lipid- an organic compound containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a ratio that does not approximate 1:2:1; includes fates, oils, and waxes.
