Biomolecules & Cells
Biomolecule functions in cell structures
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| is a major part of the CELL MEMBRANE and is involved in protecting the cell and helps to regulate what passes in/out of the cell | lipid |
| functions include storing LONG TERM energy | lipid |
| repair and build body muscle; required for the structure | protein |
| ex: enzymes that control the rate of reactions | protein |
| provides rigid cell wall made of cellulose (plants) or chitin (fungus) | carbohydrate |
| store and transfer genetic information | nucleic acid |
| Synthesizes fats | smooth endoplasmic reticulum |
| Used or consumed during cellular respiration | carbohydrate |
| In eukaryotes, held within the nuclear membrane | nucleic acid |
| examples: DNA & RNA | nucleic acid |
| embedded in the rough ER or free floating, make proteins | ribosomes |
| Near the nucleus in eukaryotes, this organelle makes and packages proteins | rough endoplasmic reticulum |
| made in smooth endoplasmic reticulum | lipid |
| produced during photosynthesis, glucose | carbohydrate |
| made of amino acids | protein |
| MBO, filled with enzymes that breakdown waste | lysosomes |
