Important Molecules for Biology (Khan Academy) Link Title
Carbohydrates
-
Also known as...
-
-
EX: glucose: 6 carbons, 12 hydrogens, 6 oxygens
-
-
Put many monosaccharide together which becomes a Polymer which in this case is known as a Polysaccharide. An example of a carbohydrate Monosaccharide is glucose which can make Glucogen when put together (a Polysaccharide.)
-
Lipids
Some are fats
fats have fatty acids, and one gliceride. Triglyceride

-
-
Not very water soluble (don't love water), but some are.

Proteins and amino acids
-
Proteins
Defined: Large biomolecules and macromolecules. Used in every biological creature. Made up of many atoms.
-
-
Amino Acids
Oxygens, Hydrogens, Carbons, Nitrogens, and a variable. There are different Amino Acids, like apples.
ex. Apples
Types: the part that makes the apple unique, the R in the amino acid)

-
-
Characteristics: (the basics of an amino acid: H, N, C, O)
-
-
Seeds inside, in certain shape.(ex: N)

Elements and Atoms
Atoms
Proton: defines the element; number of protons in the element is listed above it = AKA: atomic number; if you change the number of protons, it's a different element; positive charge
Electron: buzzes around the nucleus of the atom; have a negative charge; attracted to the positive charge of the proton so that it doesn't wander off

Vitamins and Minerals
Minerals
-
-
-
-
-
-
Sodium (Na)
Electrical conduction, blood pressure because of fluid control
-
-
Vitamins
-
If what it produce is not organic, it is called a vitamin. Organic mean that there is carbon in it.
-
Vitamin A,D,E, and K are fat soluble
