  They are a polymer made of monomers called amino acids used to help living organisms in movement, eyesight, or digestion when they're at work and it keeps them healthy.
              Element it contains
   The elements they consist in amino acids are Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and even Sulfur.
               Common Structure
   A common structure of proteins is made from a long chain of amino acids, each linked to its neighbor through a peptide bond. Each type of proteins are different so they all are unique.
                  Function/needs
The protein's function is to transfer carbon,oxygen, ect. to the living thing's bodies to keep them healthy and provides what it needs through food. We need them for our bodies and without them the requirements our bodies need won't be satisfied and it may fail to function.
               Examples of food
Foods that contains Proteins are:
*meat
*beans 
*nuts
*dairy
*vegetables
*fruits
*fish]]> 2017-09-06 18:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/21mtruong/e5cwjhj1zxzm/wish/185277812 Carbohydrates 21mtruong https://padlet.com/21mtruong/e5cwjhj1zxzm/wish/185277917 - Carbohydrates are molecules that include sugars, starches, and fibers, which can be found in foods such as vegetables.

- Carbohydrates are composed of the elements oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen.

- A carbohydrate's  common structure  is 

- The role of carbohydrates is to provide energy for all living organisms. They can be easily formed into fuel and used for brain function, to do physical activities, and help operate organs in our body. Which is why we need carbohydrates on a daily basis.

- Foods such as corn, quinoa, barley,  whole -wheat pasta, oatmeal, and legumes all contain carbohydrates.

- Two types of carbohydrates are onosaccharides
 , such as gluclose, and

Lipids consist of fats, oils, and waxes. Nearly all fats or fatty acids in anything form ,from butter to human fats are lipids.
Lipids are present in the form of:
-Animal Fats
-Plant Oils
-Various Waxes
-Cell Membrane (Phospholipids)
Lipids mostly consist of:
-Hydrogen
-Carbon
-Phosphorus
The most common form of lipids:
The most common form of lipids is the hydroxide, glycerol, and phosphoric acid.
What is the function of lipids:
Lipids are most commonly used as soaps cleaners or other household items ,but they there most important use is as a means of storing and creating fatty acids, tissue, etc.
Examples of Foods with Lipids:
-Butter
-Corn
-Olives
-Lard based food
-Peanuts
-Coconuts
-Palm
