Organic molecules
Carbohydrates
- major sources of energy and include sugars and starches
- made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen with a 2:1 ratio hydrogen to oxygen
- plants and animals use carbohydrates for maintaining structure within the cells
- made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen with a 2:1 ratio hydrogen to oxygen
- Proteins
- nitrogen-containing compounds made up of chains of amino acids
- 20 amino acids can combine to form a great variety of protein molecules
- can compose enzymes, hormones, antibodies, and structural components
- 20 amino acids can combine to form a great variety of protein molecules
- Lipids
- water insoluble (fats and oils)
- made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen; composed of glycerol and fatty acids
- provide insulation, store energy, cushion internal organs, found in biological membranes saturated and unsaturated
- made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen; composed of glycerol and fatty acids
- Nucleic Acids
- direct the instruction of proteins
- genetic information an organism receives from its parents
- two types: DNA and RNA
- genetic information an organism receives from its parents
- direct the instruction of proteins
