Lipids

fats, phospholipids and steroids

Elements found in all lipids

carbon and hydrogen

what are the functions of lipids in living things

store energy, and make up the membrane of cells.

Fats

insilation, good for storage, store energy

phospholipids

cell membrane, protects cells

steroids

make hormones, make neurotransmitters

Proteins

break down food molecules, allow animals to move, transportation, part of immune system, provide hormones for growth, communication, builds things in cells, and stores food

monomer of proteins

amino acids

Elements in all proteins

carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen

Polymer protein

polypeptide

protein in milk

casein (80%) and whey

(20%)

Organic molecule

A chemical compound with hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen

Why is carbon important in making up molecules

it has universal strong bonds

Monomer

single part of a molecule

Polymer

combined monomers to make molecule

polymerization

process of building large compounds from smaller ones

metabolism

breaking down food and building energy

catabolism

breaking down molecules

Anabolism

builds complex molecules

four categories that make up living cells

lipids, carbs, proteins, nucleic acids

Carbohydrate monomer

monosaccharide

carbohydrate polymer

polysaccharide

elements in all carbs

carbs, oxygen, hydrogen

structural polysaccharides(animal)

chitin: very tough and natural

structural polysaccharides (plant)

Cellulose: organic compound, complex carb

storage polysaccharide (animal)

glycogen: energy storage, stored in skeletal muscels(75%) and liver (25%)

storage polysaccharide (plant)

starch: soft, white, made of glucose, created after photosynthesis
