1 CH2OH O C H H H C C OH H OH HO C C H OH

2 Alpha (α) glucose Beta (β) glucose

3 Joining carbohydrate monomers
Glycosidic bond

4 Breaking carbohydrate polymers

5 Amylose structure Amylose is an an unbranched component of starch, formed from 1-4 linkage of α-glucose molecules: The chain of 1-4 linkages so formed is quite long, and may wind up into a helix ( a spiral shape).

9 Cysteine SH CH2 H2N C COOH H

10 Joining amino acids H20 Peptide bond

11 Lipids Lipids are non-polar molecules, so are insoluble in water
Triglycerides are one of the most common types of lipid. They are formed from one molecule of glycerol and three fatty acid molecules. Glycerol is always the same There are hundreds of fatty acids: fatty acids are carboxyl groups (COOH) with a hydrocarbon tail The hydrocarbon tail can can be saturated (all C-C bonds are single) or unsaturated (have at least 1 C=C double bond). It can also vary in length.
