Carbohydrates,Proteins,Lipids Nucleic Acids

Proteins buliding block?

Amino Acids 20 different amino acids

Amino Acids

Are chained into a polymer Each amino acid is different some "like" water dissolve in it Some "fear" water & separate from it

Carbohydrates

Building block molecules=sugars

Carbohydartes elements

C,H,O

Lipids elements

C,H,O

Nucleic Acids Elements

C,H,O,N and P(phosphorous)

Proteins elements

C,H,O,N plus sometimes Sulfur

Lipids

Concentrated energy molecule

Water Loving Amino Acids

Hydrophillic try to stay in water in cell

Water Fearing Amino Acids

Hydrophobic try to get away from water in the cell

Nucleic Acids

Inforamation Molecule include DNA and RNA

Perodic Table of Elements

Shows the atomic numbers and shows the mass

Lipids functions

enery storage very concentrated twice the energy as carbohydrates celll membrane insultes the body cushions the organs

Nucleic Acid Functions

genetic material stores information genes blueprint for building protenis transfers inforamtion

Types of sugars

glucose fructose sucrose maltose

Cholesterol

good molecule in cell membranes makes hormones from it too much cholesterol can be bad

Properties of Water

ice is less dense than liquid water Good solvent-dissolves charged plus polar molecules high heat of vaporization

Water

is a polar due to its unequal distribution of electrons

Saturated fats

most animal fats solid at room temperature contributes to heart disease

Proteins

multipurpose molecules

Proteins Functions

normones signals from one body system to another insulin movement muscle immmune system protect against germs enzymes help chemical reactions

Unsaturated fats

plant,vegetables,fruits liquid at room temperature better for you than saturated fats

Functions of Carbohydrates

quick energy energy storage structure

Nucleotides

there are 5 different nucleotides and different nitrogen bases A,T,C,G,U
