biology macromolecules

makes up most macromolecules

carbon (C), hydrogen (h), oxygen(o), nitrogen (n), phosphorus(p), sulfur(s)

organic compounds

contain carbon and hydrogen atoms

carbohydrates elements/examples

carbon(C), hydrogen(h), oxygen(o); examples-glucose, lactose, starch

function of carbohydrates

store short-term energy and make up cell wall of plants/bacteria

foods carbohydrates are found in

fruits, vegetables, bread, pasta

monomer for carbohydrates

monosaccharides

polymers for carbohydrates

glycogen and cellulose

monomers

join together to form polymers

polymers

large molecules formed when monomers are linked by chemical bonds

polymerization

smaller molecules stick together to make bigger molecules

lipid elements/examples

carbon(C), hydrogen(h), oxygen(o); fats, oils, waxes (greasy)

lipids functions

long-term energy, insulation(transferring heat/electricity), make up cell membranes

lipid monomers

glycerol and 3 fatty acids

do lipids have polymers?

NO

protein elements

carbon(C), hydrogen(h), oxygen(o), nitrogen(n)

foods proteins are found in

meat, milk, cheese, eggs
