Biological molecules
Understand the structure of a Carbohydrate, a Lipid, and a protein;
Lipid
unsaturated lipids - Ussualy liquid at room temperature with double bonds. Normally found in oils
saturated fats- ussualy solid at room temperature with single bonds
Protein
Primery
A unique order in witch amino acids are linked to form the protein
secondary
refers to Proteins linked together to form a 3d shape
tertiay
refers to the comprehensive 3-D structure of the polypeptide chain of a protein.
quaterany
structure of a protein macromolecule formed by interactions between multiple polypeptide chains
Carbohydrate
Carbohydrates - the source of all energy available to us! contain only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. some examples are:chocolate, Acai. Banana, Sandwich and mant others.
complex carbohydrates - Polysaccharides
Starch - also in plants, we can digest
Cellulose - in plants, we can't digest
simple carbohydrates
Monosaccharides - one saccharide = sugar
Disaccharides - two saccharides together = sucrose
Explain the functions of Carbohydrates, Lipids, and proteins;
Lipid
Store energy
lipids are rich in electrons and it contributes to the production of acetyl-CoA which makes it possible to store energy
Hormone production
Stereoid hormones
Those hormones are mostly derived from cholesterol and are structurally similar. one example is the tetosterone
Biological membranes
Separate the molecules who cant enter in the human body by creating a membrane composed of Phospholipids
Carbohydrates
Energy Storage
The structure of glycogen enables its rapid mobilization into free glucose to power cells.
Energy Storage
The sugar molecule deoxyribose is used to build the backbone of DNA.
Energy Production
Cellular respiration is the process by which energy is captured from glucose.
protein
Messenger
Messenger proteins, such as some types of hormones, transmit signals to coordinate biological processes between different cells, tissues, and organs.
Structural component
These proteins provide structure and support for cells. On a larger scale, they also allow the body to move.
Enzyme
Enzymes carry out almost all of the thousands of chemical reactions that take place in cells. They also assist with the formation of new molecules by reading the genetic information stored in DNA.
Antibody
Antibodies bind to specific foreign particles, such as viruses and bacteria, to help protect the body.
Transport/storage
These proteins bind and carry atoms and small molecules within cells and throughout the body.
Discuss how to obtain these three biological molecules;
Carbohydrats
bread, plants
Carbs provide your body with energy
Most of the carbohydrates in the foods we eat are digested and broken down into glucose before entering the vains and blood stream
Lipds
animal fats, plants fats
The functions of lipids is basicly storing energy, signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membranes of plants, animals and humans
Proteins
Meat, eggs, plants
complex molecules that have many important roles in the human body. They do most of the work in cells and are needed for the structure, function, and regulation of the body tissues and organs.
Discuss the dangers of ingesting too many Carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.
Carbohydrates
Weight Gain, Type 2 Diabetes, Unhealthy Fat, Thickened Arteries, Brain Fog
lipids
Heart Disease, Cholesterol and Satured fat raise.
proteins
Weight gain,Dehydration,Constipation, Diarrhea, Kidney damage, Increased cancer risk, Heart disease, Calcium loss, dificulties to breath
