Molecules built around the element carbon (C)

Large and made by smaller molecules.

Organic molecu,es from the food we eat.

A class of marcomolecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, in a 1:2:1 ratio.

Surcose and lactose , consist of two monosaccharides units jooined together.

molecules such as fats, oils, and waxes, and are the main structural componet of the cell membranes of all oragnisms.

make up the protective outer membrane of all cells (Figure above).

A polymer made of monomers called amino acids. Also composed of five elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur.

Composed of an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a side chain group that varies among different types of amino acids.

Biological catalysts that speed chemical reactions by breaking down molecules, and synthsizing new ones.

Composed of five basoc elements, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus. And are polymers composed of monomers called nuleotides.

A three-part unit that consists of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
