What are biomolecules?
Start Here
Biomolecules are organic molecules that are produced by a living organism.
The four biomolecules that we are describing ----->
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates
Examples of Carbohydrates :
Vegetables, milk, and bread are some examples, but lots of other foods have carbohydrates in them.
Examples
Functions of a Carbohydrate :
Carbohydrates' main functions are :
- Being our main source of energy. (Known as quick energy.)
- Helping with structural purposes.
Functions
Carbohydrates' structure :
Carbohydrates are made up of three elements, that can be described using the acronym 'CHO'. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, always in a ratio of 1:2:1.

Monomer
Carbohydrate monomers are named monosaccharides. That means 'one sugar'.

Structure of a Protien
A protien is made up of 4 elements; Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen.

Protien Function
Function
The main functions of a protien are:
- Control rate of reactions
- Regulate cell processes
- Form skin, bones, and muscle
- Fight Disease
Examples
Examples of protiens include meat, fish, and eggs.
Examples
Lipids
Lipids
Lipids' Structure
Lipids are also made up of 'CHO'. (Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.)
Structure

The two parts:
Lipids don't have a monomer. However, they do have two parts :
(1)Glycerol and (2)Fatty Acids. These are the building blocks of lipids.
Lipids' Parts
Functions of Lipids.
Lipids' main functions are:
- Storing energy.
- Biological membranes.
- Water proofing.
- Insulation and cushioning.
Functions
Examples
Some examples include items like fats, butter, oil, and waxes.
Examples
Nucleic Acid(s)
Nucleic Acids
Structure of Nucleic Acids
Structure
The structure of a Nucleic Acid is made up of 5 elements; Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus
Image of Nucleic Acid Structure
Nucleic Acid Monomer
The monomer of a Nucleic Acid are Nucleotides.
Function
Functions
The main functions of a Nucleic Acid are:
- Store and pass genetic info
- Essential for making protien
- Controls cells activities
Examples
Examples of a Nucleic Acid are DNA and/or RNA
