1. Macromolecules

2. Macromolecule Foldable
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
Nucleic Acids
Macromolecules

3. Carbohydrates Elements: C, H, O Building blocks (monomers)
monosaccharides (small rings)

4. Types, Function & Structure
Types/Structure
Role/ Function
Monosaccharide
(glucose,
fructose)
Immediate energy, Can be absorbed by organism with out being broken down
Disaccharide
(sucrose,
lactose)
Quick energy, has to be broken down into monosaccharides before it can be used.
Polysaccharide (starch,cellulose)
Longer term energy in animals.
Structure in plants (cellulose)
glucose

5. Lipids Elements: Building blocks (monomers) Types: Function:
C, H, O
Building blocks (monomers)
1 glycerol
3 fatty acids
Types:
Saturated
Unsaturated
Phospholipids
Function:
Long term energy (fat in animals, insulation)
Long term energy (water proof coating)
Part of cell membranes
Real life examples:
Animal fat (butter)
Oils from plants (corn, olive, sunflower)

6. lipids

7. Long term energy
Structure
Cell membrane structure

8. Proteins Elements: Building blocks (monomers)
C, H, O, N
Building blocks (monomers)
Amino acids
Types: 20 different amino acids
Function:
Structure in animals (muscle)
Chemical Proteins (enzymes)
Hormones
Real life examples:
Muscle, skin, hair, nails
Enzymes
