PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Macromolecules
Lawrence Wilson
1. Macromolecule
Large molecules used in all structures and processes
2. 4 types
Proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids
3. Polymer
They are built and broken down the same way
4. Diagram
Add or remove monomers through adding or removing water
5. Table
1. Proteins
20 amino acids
2. Amino acids
3. Peptide linkage
Carboxyl group reacts with the amino group for dehydration/condensation
4. Protein structures
5. Enzyme
- Protein that accelerate reactions
- Lactase- digests milk
- Catalase- protects from oxidative damage
- Amylase- breakdown starch
1. Carbohydrates
- Mono- glucose, galactose, fructose
- Di- maltose, lactose, sucrose
- Poly- cellulose, glycogen, starch
2. Formula
CnH2nOn
3. Roles
- Mono- carbohydrates in the form of simple sugars
- Oligo- used in cell signaling
- Poly- used in energy storage and structure
