Biological Molecules
Carbs
Organic so its easier for the body to break them down
Contains Carbon
Stores energy
could be sweet foods
Carbon, hydrogen, Oxygen
Source of fibre
uses energy to form glycosidic linkages
the ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:2:1
polysaccharides
cellulose
starch
glycogen
monosaccharides
galactose
fructose
glucose
disaccharide
maltose
lactose
sucrose
Lipids
Waxes
Steroids
Fats
Phospholipids
Butter is solid at room temperature because it is saturated.
Olive oil is a liquid at room temperature because its unsaturated
building blocks for hormones'
Proteins
Body takes longer to break them down
Similar to enzymes
Structure is critical to the function
If the conditions for an enzyme isn't ideal then it could cause the enzyme to denature. This could be to do with various environmental conditions
amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds
essensial to the body and helps develop tissue
The structure of the protein molecule is is very critical to its function
act as enzymes
cell signalling
immune functions
made from amino acid monomers
