1
New cards

Carbohydrates (Monomer, Bonds, Functions)

  • Polymers on simple sugars (Monosaccharides)

  • Linear and branched glycosidic bonds

  • Store energy, provide structure, cell identity

    markers

2
New cards

Proteins (Monomers, Bonds, Functions)

  • polymers of amino acids

  • joined by peptide bonds

  • support regulation of DNA + RNA

3
New cards

Nucleic Acids (Monomers, Bonds, Functions)

  • polymers of nucleotides

  • adjacent nucleotides joined by phosphodiester bonds create a sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA + RNA

  • store info for making proteins and carry out protein synthesis

4
New cards

Lipids (Monomers, Bonds, Functions)

  • NOT POLYMERS- long chains of hydrocarbons (hydrophobic)

  • carbons can be joined by saturated or unsaturated bonds

  • energy storage, cell membrane, water proofing
