Carbonhydrates
Elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
(in a ratio of [c:h:o] 1:2:1)
Function(s): Carbohydrates play an important role in the human body. They act as an energy source (storage and production), spare protein and fat for other uses, and provides glucose to fuel our cells.
Examples: starch, sugar (glucose), bread/cards
Monomers/Polymers: (M) A monosaccharide
and (P) Polysaccharides (or Carbohydrates)
(Chemical Structure)
Biomolecules Project
Examples:
enzymes, meat, eggs, dairy, anit-bodies, collegen, etc.
Presented By: Jessica Seam
Lipids
Elements: Lipids contain the same elements as carbonhydrates (oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon), mostly hydrogen and oxygen.
Monomer and Polymer:
Function(s):
Elements:
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen
(creates the chains of amino acids)
(M)Amino Acids
(P) Polypeptides (aka proteins)
- helps repair and build your body's tissues
- keeps your immune system strong
- critical for building and forming muscle, skin, and bone
- transports substances in and out of cells
- helps fights diseases
- regulates cell process
- controls rate of reactions
Function(s): an energy reserve, regulates hormonestransmits nerve impulses (biological membranes), water-proofer, and transports fat-soluble nutrients.
Function(s):
Examples:
Monomer/Polymer:
- store and pass on genetic information
- essential for making protein
- contains all cell activities
Examples: cholesterol, fats, oils, steroids, waxes
DNA and RNA
(M) Nucleotides
(P) DNA or RNA
There are no monomer or polymer, instead there are two building blocks called glycerol and fatty acids.
Proteins
Lipids' chemical formula also are called/known for being like railroad tracks.
DNA: responsible for storing and transferring genetic information
RNA: directly codes for amino acids and as acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes to make proteins
Polymers+:
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)
Eibonucleic Acid (RNA)
(Chemical Structure)
Nucleic Acid
(Chemical Structure)
Elements:
(Chemical Structure)
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Phosphorous
Enzymes:
"Enzymes are a special protein that functions as a cataylst to speed up a chemical reaction."
They are made of proteins.
"They lower the activation energy needed to get the reaction going so that it can occur more quickly."
