Macromolecules

by Ashley Garcia

Types of Macromolecules

types of macromolecules

  • Carbohydrate
  • Protein
  • Lipid
  • Nucleic Acid

Carbohydrate

carbohydrates

Subunit of Carbohydrate

Glucose

  • A subunit of Carbohydrate
  • Its a monosaccharide

Examples of carbohyrates

Example of a Carbohydrate

  • Glycogen

-a use for Glycogen serves as a form of energy storage in humans,animals,and fungi

Major use of carbohydrate

  • to provide energy, as carbohydrates are the body's main source of fuel, needed for physical activity, brain function and operation of the organs
  • All the cells and tissues in your body need carbs so it's very important

Major use of carbohydrate

Foods

Foods

Proteins

Protein

Amino Acid

  • A subunit of protein
  • organic compounds containing amine and carboxyl functional groups

Amino Acid

Example of protein

Example of protein

  • Hemoglobin

-measures the amount of hemoglobin in your blood

-Its also a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen to your body's organs and tissues and transports carbon dioxide from your organs and tissues back to your lungs.

Major use of protein

  • Your body uses protein to build and repair tissues its an important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood.

Major use of protein

Lipid

Lipid

Glycerol & Fatty Acids

Glycerol and Fatty Acids

  • A subunit of Lipid
  • the fatty acids are attached to each of the three carbons of the glycerol molecule with an ester bond through the oxygen atom.

Example of lipid

  • Cholesterol

-Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that's found in all cells of the body ,cholesterol also makes hormones, vitamin D, and substances that help you digest foods

Example of lipid

Major use for lipids

  • lipid plays many important roles in your body, from providing energy to producing hormones. You wouldn't be able to digest and absorb food properly without lipids

Major use for lipids

Nucleic Acid

Nucleotides

  • A subunit of Nucleic Acid
  • a compound consisting of a nucleoside linked to a phosphate group ,nucleotides also form the basic structural unit of nucleic acids such as DNA.

Nucleotides

Examples of Nucleic Acid

  • DNA and RNA
  • -the structure of DNA and RNA. DNA is a double helix, while RNA is a single helix. Both have sets of nucleotides that contain genetic information. Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA is a molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to develop, live and reproduce.

Examples of Nucleic Acid

Major use for Nucleic Acid

  • The two main types of nucleic acids in your body are called deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA, and ribonucleic acid, RNA.
  • Its a very important acid

Major use for Nucleic Acid

Food

Any and every living organism!
