macromolecules

QuestionAnswer
macromolecules large organic molecules, contains carbon, cannot live without them
two main macromolecules monomer, polymer
4 types of macromolecules carbohydrates, lipids, protein, nucleic acids
carbohydrates short term energy, anything sugar based
examples of carbohydrates apples, pasta, bread
structure of carbohydrates like the wall of a plant cell
two types of carbohydrates monosaccharides, polysaccharides
monosaccharides simple sugar 4 calories/milligram
polysaccharides complex sugar, bunched together, starch (potato)
glucose simple sugar with many carbohydrates
glycogen stored form of glucose, made up of connected glucose molecules
what can be used for cushioning fat
lipids used when carbohydrates run out, oils, fatty things

what runs the body proteins
Protein functions a lot of important jobs like keeping you alive
enzymes control fat or chemical reaction
hormones regular cell processes, forms bones and muscles, transports substances in and out of cells
antibodies help fight diseases and a source for food
example of antibodies insulin - in your body is protein
monomer amino acids
polymer polypeptide (protein)
what is the last thing broke down by your body? protein
What determines what protein does shape
nucleic acids primary function is information carrying, store DNA
examples of nucleic acids DNA, RNA - get it from parents, not food
nucleotides building block for DNA
DNA looks like a ladder folded on top of each other
