Macromolecules
Proteins
-
Proteins contain Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen
Basic Sub-unit Monomer components
R-group: Abbreviation of any group which carbon or hydrogen atom is attached to the rest of a molecule
Amino Group: organic group of molecules that consists of nitrogen atoms attached by single bonds that are attached to hydrogen
Carboxyl Group: a group consisting of a carbonyl group with a hydroxyl group
Diagram of general structure: a type of structure that shows relationships
Peptide Bond: a covalent bond formed by joining the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another
-
Lipids
-
Lipids common elements are Hydrogen, carbon, oxygen atoms, and it can also contain phosphorus, nitrogen, sulfur
Lipids basic components are carbon, oxygen atoms, hydrogen
Phospholipids: surrounding and protecting internal cell components (MoleculeA)
Steroids: reduce production of certain chemicals that will cause inflammation (androgens)
Triglycerides: stores unused calories and provides the body with energy (Butter)
-
Carbohydrates
Functions
Carbohydrates have four primary functions inside the body providing energy, storing energy, build macromolecules, and also building spare protein and fat for different uses.
Carbohydrates contain the different elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
-
Types of Carbohydrates
Di: two units of sugar, in majority of scenarios the sugars are glucose or galactose or fructose. (Maltose, Lactose, sucrose)
Poly: contain many sugar units in very long polymer chains (Starch, Glycogen, and cellulose)
Mono: contains a single sugar unit such as glucose, galactose, and fructose
-
Nucleic Acids
-
Some common elements are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, nitrogen
-
There are different types of nucleic acids, DNA and RNA they both have basic structure and diagram
