Carbohydrates
The elements that make up
carbohydrates are carbon,
hydrogen, and oxygen.
Carbohydrates
Monomers and Polymers
Carbohydrates contain a simple repeating unit which is a monomer. The monomers that carbs are made up of are monosacharride units which make up all starches and sugars. The polymers of carbs are discharrides and polysacharrides. Disacharrides are a class of sugar made from two monosacharride residues. Polysacharrides are made of a number of bonded sugar molecules.
Monomers and polymers
function
Carbohydrates are put into the body whenever you eat or drink something with carbohydrate. Carbs that are digested will then be broken down into glucose to supply the body with energy.
function
examples
Carbs are usually find inside of starches and sugars but can also be found in fruits, vegetables, and dairy. Some food and drink that contain a lot of carbs are potato chips, french fries, rice, and soda.
examples
Nucleic Acids
The elements inside of
nucleic acids are carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen, nitro-
gen, and phsphorus.
Nucleic Acids
monomers and polymers
Nucleic acids are made up by monomers called nucleotides and polymers called DNA and RNA.
monomers and polymers
function
Nucleic acids function to store genetic coding.
function
examples
Some examples of nucleic acid are DNA and RNA.
example
Proteins
The elements inside of
proteins are oxygen, car-
bon, hydrogen, and nitr-
ogen.
Proteins
Monomers and polymers
Proteins are made of amino acids as the monomer and polypeptides as the polymer. Polypeptides are a type of organic polymer made from amino acids that bond together forming parts of or while protein molecules.
monomers and polymers
function
Proteinsare used by the body to for many things. Some of these things that proteins are used for is helping the body grow, heal bodily injuries, and to digest foods.
function
examples
Some examples of proteins are food like eggs, meat, soy, fish, and cheese.
examples
Lipids
Lipids have the same
strcture as carbs, being
made of carbon, hydro-
gen, and oxygen.
Lipids
Monomers and polymers
Lipids are made of monomers called diglycerides and triglycerides and polymers called gylcerol and fatty acids, but the monomers are true monomers because they are formed by dehydration synthesis.
monomers and polymers
function
lipids are mainly used to move and store energy. Lipids are also used to absorb vitamins, cushion organs, and trnasport nerve impulses.
function
examples
Some examples of lipids are fats, oils, and waxes.
