Other uses = structure, transport, and signaling
Found in = sugars and starches
Composed of = C, H, O
Monomer = monosaccharides = single sugar
molecules
Ex. Glucose (main fuel for cell), galactose (in milk), fructose (in fruit)
Polymer = polysaccharides = larger sugar molecules
Ex. Starch (how plants store sugar), glycogen (how animals store sugar), cellulose (structural support in plant cell walls)
Energy storage = 4 calories/gram
Body can access and break it down easily, thus it is typically the first thing your body will break down to get energy when you need it!]]> 2021-10-28 12:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1851072660 bd1001 https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1851076073 2021-10-28 12:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1851076073 bd1001 https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1851081681 Main function = energy storage (long-term)
Other uses = insulation, protection, and structure
Found in = fats, oils,
phospholipids (in the cell membrane), steroids
Composed of = C, H, O
Monomer = fatty acids
Polymer = triglycerides
Energy storage = 9 calories/gram
When your body runs out of easy-to-access
carbs, it will break down lipids next for energy]]> 2021-10-28 12:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1851081681 bd1001 https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1851087219 2021-10-28 12:10:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1851087219 bd1001 https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1851092820 Main function = no “main function” because
proteins do SO MUCH! They run your body!
Enzymes that control the rate of biochemical reactions
Hormones that regulate cell processes (Ex. Insulin)
Structurally And so much more
Found in = meats, nuts, and dairy
products, but many are made by your body
Composed of = C, H, O, N, P, S
Monomer = Amino acids
Polymer = Polypeptide
Amino acids linked together by a peptide bond
Energy storage = 4 calories/gram
Proteins do SO MUCH besides for the body that they are usually the last resort if energy is needed
Proteins are the most diverse macromolecule
in terms of structure AND function
4 levels to their structure
Form dictates function]]> 2021-10-28 12:13:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1851092820 bd1001 https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1851094522 2021-10-28 12:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1851094522 bd1001 https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1851097084 Main function = informational molecules that store,
transmit, and express our genetic information;
contain the instructions for making proteins
Found in = DNA and RNA
You get them from your parents not your food!!
Composed of = C, H, O, N, P
Monomer = Nucleotides
Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Uracil
These are made up of:
5-Carbon sugar
Phosphate group
Nitrogen-containing base
Polymer = Nucleic acid = DNA or RNA
Energy storage = 0 calories/gram
They are NEVER broken down as a source of
energy!!]]> 2021-10-28 12:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1851097084 bd1001 https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1851098484 2021-10-28 12:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1851098484 bd1001 https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1853743696 2021-10-29 11:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1853743696 bd1001 https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1858512725 2021-11-01 11:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1858512725 bd1001 https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1858513562 2021-11-01 11:50:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1858513562 bd1001 https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1858522685 2021-11-01 11:55:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bd1001/lu1ryqrduwsm2ta3/wish/1858522685
