Biology - macromolecules
Lipids
-Elements: carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen (CHO) -Food Ex: oils -Monomer: glycerol and fatty acids -Polymer: n/a -Functions: store energy & cell membrane insulation
Carbohydrates
-Elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen - 1:2:1 (CHO) -Food Ex: bread -Monomer: monosaccharide -Polymer: polysaccharide -Function: energy & protection
Proteins
-Elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, & nitrogen (CHON) -Food Ex: chicken -Monomer: amino acids -Polymer: protein (polypeptide) -Function: speed up chemical reaction, body repair, & transportation
Nucleic Acid
-Elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus (CHONP) -Food Ex: n/a -Example: DNA, RNA -Monomer: nucleotide -Polymer: Nucleic Acid (polynucleotide) -Function: store and transmit hereditary or genetic information
