CARBOHYDRATE

• A CARBOHYDRATE IS A PRIMARY ENERGY SOURCE, AND PROVIDES STRUCTURAL SUPPORT.

CARBOHYDRATES DEFINITION

• Have the general chemical formula of C1H2O1

ELEMENTS AND FUNCTIONS OF CARBOHYDRATES.

• ELEMENTS: C1H2O1
• FUNCTIONS: STRUCTURAL MATERIAL AND SOURCE OF ENERGY

Monosaccharides: Glucose,fructose, and galactose

LIPIDS

• lipids are fatty acids and unbranched carbon chains
• Definition: large organic molecules that are nonpolar, and thus not very soluble in water.
• Info: helps against water loss and long term energy storage.

ELEMENTS AND FUNCTIONS

• ELEMENTS: O, C, H
• Functions: protection against physical shock and they are major components of membranes

Phospholipids,fats and oils, triglycerides, and steroids.

PROTEINS

• They help with movement and structural.
• Definition: bio molecules of many amino acids that can provide energy to living systems.
• Info: proteins are nothing more than chains of amino acids.

ELEMENTS AND FUNCTION

• ELEMENTS: C, H, O, N, S
• Function: Helps with movement, and storage.

Monosaccharides: Meat,fish,eggs,cheese,nuts

NUCLEIC ACID

• Nucleic acid is a complex organic molecule.
• Definition:a complex organic substance present in living cells, especially DNA or RNA, whose molecules consist of many nucleotides linked in a long chain
• Info: storing and transports information to the cell

ELEMENTS AND FUNCTIONS

• ELEMENTS: O, C, H, P, N
• Function: store and transfer

Monosaccharides: everything living
