1 + Structure and Function Organic Macromolecules

2 + I. Structure of Carbohydrates a. Composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen b. Take a ring shape in solution c. Building blocks are simple Sugars called monosaccharides.

3 + II. Function of Carbohydrates a. Used for quick energy to complete various cellular tasks b. Carbohydrates are converted into ATP through cellular respiration.

4 + III. Lipid Structure a. Lipids are composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen b. Lipids are linear and contain a Glycerol head and a long hydrocarbon tail. c. Lipids can be either a solid or a liquid at room temperature depending on the number of chemical bonds. d. Are a major component of cell membranes. e. Examples of lipids include steroids, waxes, Triglycerides, and phospholipids.

5 + IV. Lipid Function a. Lipids are used for the storage of energy and insulation.

6 + V. Protein Structure a. Composed of Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Oxygen b. Contain a common skeleton but differ at the R group. c. Made of amino acids d. Shape determines function

7 + VII. Protein Function a. Enzymes lower the amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction b. Collagen is a connective tissue c. Hemoglobin helps to carry oxygen in the blood d. Antibodies help fight infection.

8 + VIII. Nucleic Acid Structure a. Nucleotides are the building blocks of Nucleic Acids. Each nucleotide is composed of a sugar, phosphate group and a nitrogen base. b. DNA is shaped like a twisted ladder which is called a double helix. c. RNA is made of a single strand of nucleotides

9 + IX. Nucleic Acid Function Nucleic Acids store the genetic information of an organism. Nucleic Acids are passed from parent to offspring during reproduction. Nucleic acids store the code that will lead to physical traits.
