Compound of Protein

The amino acids are the most important of the compounds because they are monomers that link together to form protein.

Chemical Composition of Protein
The peptide bond that binds amino acids together to form a polypeptide results in the chemical composition of protein. The elements that make up protein are hydrogen,nitrogen,carbon,sulfur, and oxygen.

FUNCTIONS AND EXAMPLES OF PROTEINS

• Storage - albinum
• Transport - hemoglobin
• Regulatory - hormones
• Movement - muscles
• Structural - membranes,hair,nails
• Enzymes - cellular reactions
• Other examples are the four levels of protein structures- primary,secondary,tertiary,and quaternary structures

Compounds of Nucleic Acid

Nucleic acid is composed of long chains of nucleotides linked by dehydration synthesis .

Chemical Composition of Nucleic acid

The chemical composition of nucleic acid is the phosphate group,a five carbon sugar,and a ring-shaped nitrogen.
(Phosphorus,nitrogen,hydrogen,oxygen,and nitrogen)

THE FUNCTION AND EXAMPLES OF NUCLEIC ACID

• Function- they store and transfer important information in the cell.
• DNA and RNA are the two nucleic acids.

Compound of lipids

The compound of lipids are 3 fatty acids to 1 glycerol

Chemical Composition

The chemical composition fatty acids are composed of a hydrocarbon chain and a carboxylic acid group.( Carbon,Hydrogen, and oxygen)

FUNCTIONS AND EXAMPLES OF LIPIDS

• Long term energy storage
• Protection against heat loss
• Protection against physical shock
• Chemical messengers
• Protection against water loss
• Major component of membranes
• Examples of lipids are fats,oils,steroids,phospholipids,waxes, and triglycerides.

Compounds of
carbohydrates
