Carbohydrates- Monomers is Glucose and the Ring of Carbons Elements C, H, O,( H2O2)n
Lipids- Monomers Glycocerol Fatty Acid Elements are C H O
Proteins- Monomer Amino Acid Elements are C H O N and sometimes Sulfur
Nucleic Acid- Monomer Nucleotide Elements are C H O N P
Carbohydrates
Quick energy
Proteins
make up hair, skin and nails. Form antibodies to fight of passations. Controls chemical reactions, and forms cartilage bones and tendons and ligaments.
Lipids
are long term energy storage,ex hibernating animals insulation ex blubber.wax/waterproofing,ex earwax forms the cell membrane, ex phospholipids and steroids hormone production, ex cholesterol.
Nucleic Acid
stores genetic info determines who you are.
Monomer
small basic molecule that can chemically bond with others similar or different to form a larger chain-like structure like a polymer. A polymer is a large marcromolecule made up of many smaller repeating chemical units called monomers linked together in long chains or networks. The process to create a polymer from multiple monomers is dehydration synthesis pulling out water between two bonds the opposite is hydrolysis which is adding water together.
