8. What is the golden ratio to determine if a organic compound is a carbohydrate? 2H: 1O
9. What atom is found in a protein but not on a carbohydrate? nitrogen
10. Which type of fatty acid has no double bonds? unsaturated
11. What happens to a chemical reaction when you add an enzyme? Speeds up reaction or Lower Energy Activation
12. What type of lipid prevents plants from dehydrating? wax
13. What is the monomer for making a polypeptide? Amino acid
14. What type of polysaccharide is used for energy in plants? starch
15. What is “energy of activation”? The energy needed to start a chemical reacton
