Macromolecules
Carbohydrates
Monosaccharide
Made of (CH2O)n or Carbon and Water
Foods like Mono/Di- saccharides = simple carbs( table sugar, milk, candy, soda) Poly saccharides = complex carbs( wheat, pasta, rice, potatoes, fruits, veggies)
The functions is that it's a energy source and a structural suppor
Nucleic acid
Nucleotide
Made of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrgoen, and Phosphorus
DNA is in all living things so everything we eat contains nucleic acid
The functions are that it makes DNA and RNA
Nucleotides has 3 units (Phosphorus, Nitrogen base, and Sugar)
Proteins
Amino acid
Made of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen
Foods like meats, eggs, beans, and tofu
The functions is that it provides structural support, transport, cell communication, and speed up reactions
Proteins fold into unique 3D shapeds and gives the protein a unique function the 2 main shapes are helix and pleat
Lipids
Fatty acid + Glycerol
Made mostly of Carbon + Hydrogen and some Oxygen
Foods like Fats, Oils, Nuts, Butters
The functions is that it creates a barrier in the cell, Makes hormones and cholesterol, and is a energy source when carbs are low.
