Key words: M

?
Mixture
Starch consists of a mixture of two types of chains: Amylose and Amylopectin
1 of 9
Magnesium
Essential in giving chlorophyll it's light-absorbing properties
2 of 9
Maltose
Formed when two alpha-glucose molecules are linked by a glycosidic bond through a condensation reaction; Maltose is formed when starch is digested; The enzyme, alpha glucosidase helps to hydrolyse the glycosidic bond in maltose; A reducing sugar
3 of 9
Meselson-stahl
Proved the semi-conservative model in DNA replication by culturing bacterium called Escherichia
4 of 9
Microfibril
A microtubule or microfilament within the cell ; an extremely small, submicroscopic cellular fiber.
5 of 9
Monomer
Monomers are the smaller units from which larger molecules are made. E.g. Alpha Glucose
6 of 9
Monosaccharide
Basic carbohydrate monomers i.e. single sugars (E.g. Trioses, Pentoses or Hexoses) Glucose is a hexose monosaccharide; All monosaccharide sugars are reducing sugars
7 of 9
Monounsaturated
Linked to unsaturated fatty acids. If there is one double bond, it is monounsaturated
8 of 9
Muscle
Calcium is essential for muscle contraction; Glycogen is stored in the muscle. Mitochondria are commen in muscle cells due to the vast amount of ATP required
