Adenosine triphosphate

________ (atp): principal molecule for storing and transferring energy in cells.

Stucture

________ consists of a phosphate head and two fatty acid tails.

structural support

(Provide ________, a source of stored fuel, the ability to store and retrieve genetic information, and the ability to speed biochemical reactions .)

Phospholipid

________: All living things membrane are made of phosolypids.

Steriods

________ go under what class of macromolecule: lipids (Cholestrol, estrogen, testosterone)

Carboyhydrates

________: They 're the body's primary source of energy and the brain's preferred energy source.

Deoxyribonucleic acid

________ (Dna): Found in nucleus of cell, DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce.

Polymer

________: a polymer is a substance or material consisting of very large molecules called macromolecules,

Ribonucleic acid

________ (rna): RNA carries genetic information that is translated by ribosomes into various proteins necessary for cellular processes.

hydrogens straight

Saturated fat: Solid at room temperature /covered in ________ tails /butter /tropical oils.

Macromolecule

a molecule containing a very large number of atoms, such as a protein, nucleic acid, or synthetic polymer

Polymer

a polymer is a substance or material consisting of very large molecules called macromolecules,

Carboyhydrates

They're the body's primary source of energy and the brain's preferred energy source

lipids

(fats, Oils, waxes)

Tryglceride structure

glycerol head/ 3 fatty tails

Saturated fat

Solid at room temperature/ covered in hydrogens/ straight tails/ butter/ tropical oils

unsaturated fat

liquid at room temperature/ missing hydrogens/ kinked tails

hydrogenated fat

(also known as trans fats) manufactured fats, where they add hydrogens to unsaturated fat, to keep it solid at room temperature and stop it from going bad

phospholipid

All living things membrane are made of phosolypids

Steriods go under what class of macromolecule

lipids ( Cholestrol, estrogen, testosterone)

What are proteins made of

amino acids

what kind of structures can proteins form

primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary

function of proteins

collagen is a protein that gives structure for our hair, nails, skin/ cellular communication/ helps repair and build your body's tissues

Deoxyribonucleic acid (Dna)

Found in nucleus of cell, DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce

Ribonucleic acid (rna)

RNA carries genetic information that is translated by ribosomes into various proteins necessary for cellular processes

Adenosine triphosphate (atp)

principal molecule for storing and transferring energy in cells

Structural components of DNA

Adenine + Thymine Guanine+ cytosine
