Biomolecules Biomolecules Biomolecules Biomolecules

Large organic molecules that serve as the building blocks of life and provide structural components of the cell
produce/store energy to sustain life
formed when elements and molecules bond together
carbohydrates, lipids, protein, and nucleic acid

1. BIOMOLECULES

3. Biomolecules
large organic molecules that
serve as the building blocks of life
and provide structural
components of the cell
produce/store energy to sustain
life
formed when elements and
molecules bond together
carbohydrates, lipids, protein, and
nucleic acid

4. MONOMERS
are building blocks, parts
that make up the substance
molecules that can be
bonded to other identical
molecules to form a polymer

5. carbohydrates
contain carbon, hydrogen,
and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio
a great, fast source of
energy
monomer - monosaccharide
comes from two main
sources, starch and sugar

6. The amylose in starch forms helices where
iodine molecules assemble, forming a
dark blue or black color.

8. PASTA LOADING
a dietary practice by athletes that
increases carbohydrate reserves
in muscle tissue by consuming
large quantities of high-starch
foods
recommended foods include
pasta, bread, fruits and fruit juices

9. Lipids
water-insoluble molecules that
contain carbon, hydrogen, and
oxygen
monomer - fatty acids and
glycerol
act as body insulators
great source of long-term
energy
fats, oils, waxes, and cholesterol

11. cooking oil
butter
no, patrick. it's a lipid

12. Proteins
Polymers of amino acids.
Many proteins function as
enzymes that hasten reactions.
Proteins are mostly known for
building muscle

13. meat, chicken, nuts, fish

14. Nucleic acids
Polymers of repeating units of
nucleotides composed of sugar, a
base, and a phosphate group.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
transmits genetic information
from one generation to the next.
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) functions
in protein synthesis.

15. heredity, having a twin,
Genetic disorders, being
unique
