carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
What are Carbohydrates
primary source of energy for living organisms
what elements do carbohydrates have
carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
what are the functions of carbohydrates
provide energy source, store energy, and serve as a structural support
what is the monomer name of carbohydrates called
monosaccharides, such as glucose
what are lipids
lipids are a diverse group of nonpolar molecules that are hyrdrophobic
what are lipids monomer name called
fatty acids and glycerol
what are the 3 types of lipids
fats,phospholipids, and steroids.
what do fats do
They serve as energy storage and insulation in the body
what do steroids do
act as hormones
what element do lipids have
carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
what are proteins
has shape that allows it to perform function in a living organism
what are proteins monomer name
amino acids (20 different types)
what are the different structures of Proteins
primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaterny
Primary structure
the sequence of amino acids
Secondary structure
folding paterrns like alpha-helices and beta-sheets held together by H-bonds
Tertiary Structure
the overall 3D shape of a single polypeptide chain
Quaternary structue
the arrangment of multiple polypeptide chain

what are nucleic acids
store and transmit genetic information
types of nucleic acids
DNA & RNA
What is DNA
contains instructions for building and maintaining an organism with double stranded helix
What is RNA
helps carry our instructions for other nucleic acid, single stranded
