What is a Carbohydrate?
Carbohydrates
Elements that Carbohydrates Contain-
1. Carbon
2. Hydrogen
3. Oxygen
A Monomer is: Monosaccharides
Structure
Function
the body uses Carbohydrates as a primary source of energy and the energy that the brain uses. they are also broken down into glucose, and glucose is used as fuel for our cells tissues and organs
Function
Examples
There are many different food with carbs but two are bread, and corn.
bread has 15 carbs for 30g or one slice
an ear of corn has about 41 carbs for a cup of corn has roughly 30 grams.
Lipids
Lipids are a large and varied group of biomolecules that are generally not solluable in water. Made mostly from Carbon and Hydrogen atoms.
Lipids
Functions
- Store energy
- Water proofer
- Insulation and cushioning
Function
Elements that Lipids Contain
Structure
1. Carbon
2. Hydrogen
3. Oxygen
No Monomer or Polymer
Examples
There are many different examples of Lipids
Cheese is an example of lipid
Example
Another example of lipid is cooking oil
Protein is large molecules that play a important part for the body.
Proteins
Structure
The building blocks of protein is Amino Acids, which are small molucules, The Amino Acids are also the monomer for proteins
Elements- Nitrogen/N, Carbon/C, Hydrogen/H, Oxygen/O, and Sulfur/S
Chemical Sructure-
Structure
Function-
The Proteins are what the body uses to repair or build the body's tissues, and builds muscles. They also are enzymes which bind molecules to make chemical reactions faster. they act as an immune a function, and are used for energy.
Function
Examples
One example is for building muscle. When you work out or use muscles it creates tiny micro tears in your muscles, that's why you are sore after you do an activity that uses muscles. The Amino Acids then help create new fibers, which heal the micro tears and this is how muscles get bigger.
Example
Another example is enzymes, enzymes are made up of proteins which are comprised of amino acids linked together in one or more chains. Trypsin is an enzyme that breaks down proteins into amino acids in the small intestines.
This is Trypsin
Nucleic Acids
Elements that Nucleic Acids Contain-
Structure
1. Carbon
2. Hydrogen
3. Oxygen
4. Nitrogen
5. Phosphorus
A Monomer is: Nucleotides
Function
- Store and pass on genetic information
- Essential for making protein
- Controls cell activies
Function
Example
There are ONLY 2 examples of a Nucleic Acid.
DNA
RNA
