Biomolecules (Protiens (constructed from 20 amino acids (bond between…

- - - - polymer of amino acids = poly peptide
- - - - saturated vs unsaturated
        
        saturated = when there is no double bond between carbons and hydrogens fill the carbon skeleton
        
        most animal fats are saturated, lack of double bond allows fat molecules to pack in closer together
        
        unsaturated = contains double bonds
        
        fats of plants and fishes; oils
  - - - common component of animal cell membranes; also allows other steroids to be synthesized
      - synthesized in the liver and obtained from diet
- - - - ex. sucrose - transports carbs from leaves to roots in form of sucrose
  - - - animals store glycogen
        
        humans store in liver and muscles cell
      - plants store starch
    - - cellulose for plants which enclose plant cells
- - - - DNA: stores info for traits; genetic material inherited from parents
      - RNA: stores info in order to make protiens
