Macromolecule
Carbohydrate
Made of (CH2 C) n
C = carbon = carbo
H2O = water = hydrate
n = number of unite in the chain
Base Unit = Monosaccharide
Ex: glucose (sugar)
Disaccharaide - 2 monos linked together
Ex: loctose
Polysaccharide - long chain of monos
Ex: glycogen (energy)
Energy source
All carbs are broken down into monomers to use for energy
structural support
Cell wall in plants
Musicle tissue in animals
Polysaccharides. (called complex carbs)
Wheat, pasta, rice, potatoes, fruits, veggies
Mono / D:-saccharides
Table suagar, milk, candy, soda
Lipid
fatty acids t +. glycerol
Made mouthy of C and H
BaseUnit = Fatty acid+Glycerol
Ex: Fats, oils, wax
Energy source when Carbs are low
Creates barriers in the cell
Lipids repel water
Phospholipid bilayer of cell membrane
Makes hormones and cholesterol
Protein
amino acids
Made of C H O and Nitrogen
Base Unit = Amino acids
20 different amino acids
Some your body can make
Some you must eat
Human body is 15% protein
Muscle, skin, hair
10,000 different proteins within cells
structural support
transports substances
Cell communication
speeds up reactions
Nucleic Acids
Made of C H O N and Phosphorus
Base unit - Nucleotide
DNA and RNA (NA = Nucleic Acid)
Holds the genetic information
(genes) inside every cell
DNA is in all living things, and in everything we eat!
Plants, animals, fungi, bacteria
