    What are the elements
    of Carbohydrates?

    Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen.


    What are the monomers of Carbohydrates?
    Monosaccharides are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO). 
    What are the
    polymers of
    Carbohydrates?

    A polysaccharide is
    the polymer of
    carbohydrates.
    What is the function
    of Carbohydrates?

    The primary function of
    carbohydrates is to provide
    energy for the body,
    especially the brain and the
    nervous system.
    What are some
    examples of
    Carbohydrates?
    Fructose, galactose, ribose, lactose,
    maltose, and sucrose are
    all examples of
    carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are
    found in a wide array of both
    healthy and unhealthy foods—
    bread, beans, milk, popcorn,
    potatoes, cookies, spaghetti, soft
    drinks, corn, and cherry pie.
    What are the elements of Lipids?

    • Lipids are made of the same


    three elements as
    carbohydrates, carbon,
    hydrogen and oxygen but
    there is much less oxygen
    present than in the
    carbohydrates.
    What are the
    monomers of Lipids?
    glycerol/fatty acids are the monomers of lipids
    What are the
    polymers of
    Lipids?
    Lipids - polymers called diglycerides,
    triglycerides.
    What is the function of Lipids?
    Lipids provide energy, protection and insulation for the organs in the body. Lipids are also an
    important part of cell membranes.
    What are some examples of Lipids?

    • Phospholipids.
    • Triglycerides (Fat)
    • Sterols.
    What are the Elements of
    Protein?
    Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, & nitrogen.

    What are the
    Polymers of
    Protein?
    Proteins - polymers are
    known as polypeptide

    What are the Functions of
    Protein, -there are about 4.

    • Enzyme Activity. Responsible for reactions


    enzymes catalyze of nearby substrates.
    • Cell to Cell Recognition. Recognize molecules
    on the surface of other cells.
    • Cell Signaling.
    • Transport Materials.

    What are some
    examples of Protein?
    • Anti-bodies help fight disease.
    • Enzymes in saliva, stomach, and
    small intestine help digest food.
    • Alph-keratin forms hair and
    fingernails.
    What are the Elements
    of Nucleic Acid?

    • Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen,


    Phosphorus.

    What are the Monomers
    of Nucleic Acid?

    • The monomers of DNA are called


    nucleotides.

    What is the Function of
    Nucleic Acid? To store and
    transmit hereditary
    information.

    What is the function of DNA?


    producing the proteins and
    enzymes that every cell
    needs/DNA acts to pass on traits.

    What is the function of RNA?


     RNA is a nucleic acid that
    consists of a long chain of
    nucleotides. The main function is
    to direct the production of
    proteins. This Photo by Unknown author is licensed under CC BY.
