Chapter 5
Macromolecules are polymers,
built from monomers
Small molecules MONOMER - glycerol + fatty acid chains, amino acids, nucleotide
-
macro molecules aka larger molecules are called POLYMER - polysaccharide, triglyceride, polypeptide, DNA/RNA
-
-
-
Fats
Saturated fatty acids - have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible and no double bonds solids at room temperature
Unsaturated fatty acids - have one or more double bonds ( more healthy) have double bonds
Usually liquid at room temperature aka oils

Sugars
-

-
Polysaccharides
Starch - storage polysaccharides of plants, consists of glucose monomers
the polymers of sugars, have
storage and structural roles
-

Proteins/ Enzymes

4 Structure of Protein
-
Secondary structure, found in most proteins,
consists of coils and folds in the polypeptide chain
-
-
Enzymes end with /ase, temperature and PH affect enzymes structure (denature) very specific when it comes to connecting to different molecules ENZYME AND SUBSTRATE HAVE TO LOCK IN PERFECTLY
-
Steroids
Cholesterol - a type of steroid, a component in animal cell membranes and a precursor from which other steroids are synthesized
