Biological Macromolecules
Lipids
Lipids are groups of organic compounds.They aid in energy storage and insulation.
Fun Fact: Lipids are hydrophobic and don't dissolve in water.
Ex 2: Triglycerides
Ex 1: Fatty Acids
Ex 3: Phospholipids
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are organic compounds made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They aid in providing energy and the metabolism of fats.
Fun Fact: Our brain is carbohydrate dependent.
Ex 2: Fructose
Ex 3: Sucrose
Ex 1: Glucose
Proteins
Proteins are complex molecules made of amino acids and aid in function, and regulation of tissues and organs.
Fun Fact: Proteins exist in every cell in the human body.
Ex 2: Keratin
Ex 3: Amylase
Ex 1: Lipase
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic Acids are complex biomolecules that aid in storing and expressing genomic information.
Fun Fact: If you stretched out DNA from one cell, it would be over 6 feet long.
Ex 2:Messenger (RNA)
Ex 3:Transfer (RNA)
