VOCABULARY
- Momomer:small chemical unit that makes up a polymer
- Polymer:molecule composed of many monomers
- Carbohydrate:compound made up of carbon,and oxygen atoms
- Monosaccharide:simple sugar molecule
- Lipid:macromolecule made mostly from carbon and htdrogen atoms
Untitled Slide
- Nucleic acid:macromolecule containing hydrogen,oxygen,nitrogen,carbon,and phosphorus
- Nucleotide:subunit of which nucleic acids are composed
- Protein:macromolecule that contains carbon,hydrogen,oxygen,and nitrogen
- Amino acid:compound wiyh an amino group on one end and a carboxyl group on yhe other end
CARBON
- Carbon is the basis of lofe on earth
- Carbon bonds with,hydrogen, oxygen,phopherous, sulfer,ect.
- Carbon poses the ability to bond with its self, allowing it to form chains
- Carbon can form millions of complex chains.
MACROMOLECULES
- They are giant compounds that are found in cells.
- They are made from thousand of smaller molicules.
- Small monomers join to form polymers also called macromolecules.
CARBOHYDRATES
- Made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
- Carbohydrates are used as a way to store excess sugar.
- Starch is another form of carbohydrate.
- The monomers in starch are sugar molicules.
LIPIDS
- They are made mostly from carbon and hydrogen atoms.
- They can be used to store energy.
- If there is only one carbon-carbon double bond,the acid is unsaturated.
- They can contain unsaturated fatty acids.
NUCLEIC ACIDS
- They are polymers assembled from single monomers knows as nucleotides.
- Nucleic acids store and transmit hereditary,or genetic,information.
- Two kinds : Ribonucleic acid(RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA)
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
- More than 20 amino aids are found in nature.
- They are the primary structure of protein
- Multi chain proteins are said to have a forth level of structure
