Presentation Transcript

  1. Carbohydrates Biomolecule composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen in a ratio of 1:2:1 Composition Monomer Function Amino acids held together by peptide bonds Used by cells to provide energy Examples Monosaccharides - Glucose -C6H12O6 - Fructose Disaccharide -Sucrose • Polysaccharides • Starch • Glycogen • cellulose

  2. Lipids Large biomolecule composed of Carbon, Hydrogen with a small amount of oxygen Used as energy storage, insulation, protective coverings and cell membranes Glycerol and Fatty Acids Cholesterol -HDL -LDL Fats

  3. Proteins A large complex polymer composed of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and sometimes Sulfur. Provides structure for tissues and organs and helps carry out cell metabolism Amino Acids • Regulates metabolism • - Enzymes change the rate of chemical reactions. Hair Finger Nails Muscle Hemoglobin (blood) Immunity (antibodies)

  4. Nucleic Acids Complex biomolecule composed of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Phosphorus. 3 Parts - Simple Sugar - Phosphate Group - Nitrogen Base DNA codes for the making of proteins  enzymes Nucleotide DNA forms the genetic code that determines how an organism looks and acts DNA RNA
