Proteins
-
-
-
-
Function: Provide structure, transport/storage, messenger, etc.
Structure: Protein structure is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in an amino acid-chain molecule. (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quarterly)
Lipids
-
Polymer: Triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol
-
-
-
Structure: Lipids are composed of a glycerol molecule bonded to long hydrocarbon chain(s) (can be single or multiple)
Nucleic Acids
-
-
-
-
-
Structure: long chainlike molecules composed of a series of nearly identical building blocks called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogen-containing aromatic base attached to a pentose (five-carbon) sugar, which is in turn attached to a phosphate group.
