Molecule without carbon Forms non-living things Macromolecule VOCABULARY Word Definition Picture Organic Chemical Molecule with carbon Forms living things Inorganic Chemical Molecule without carbon Forms non-living things Macromolecule Very big molecules
Macromolecules are the ingredients of all living things.
Macromolecules Provide: Source of Energy Energy Storage Building Blocks of our Bodies Instructions on how to Build
Four Biological Macromolecules: Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids Nucleic Acids
Carbohydrates
Why are carbohydrates importants? Energy molecules OH H HO CH2OH O 2009-2010
Carbohydrates provide energy to drive metabolic reactions.
Carbohydrates Function: quick energy energy storage structure cell wall in plants
Carbohydrates sugars give us energy starches store energy Examples sugars give us energy starches store energy cellulose provides structure in the cell wall of plants
Plants store energy in the form of starch.
What does a carbohydrate look like? glucose C6H12O6 sucrose starch
What are carbohydrates made of? Building block molecules = sugars sugar - sugar - sugar - sugar - sugar sugar
Sugars = building blocks Names for sugars usually end in Glucose Fructose Sucrose Lactose -ose
Glucose Example: Plants/Vegetables OH H HO CH2OH O glucose C6H12O6
Fructose Example: Fruit fructose
Sucrose Example: Table Sugar sucrose
Lactose Example: Dairy Products
Types of Carbohydrates Monosaccharide = 1 sugar Example: Glucose OH H HO CH2OH O glucose C6H12O6
Types of Carbohydrates Disaccharides = 2 sugars Example: Lactose
Types of Carbohydrates Polysaccharides = Many sugars Example: Starch
Monosaccharide =1 sugar Disaccharide = 2 sugars Polysaccharide = many sugars
starch cellulose Polysaccharides energy storage in plants structure in plants cell walls
Polysaccharides make up the cellulose in plant.
Cellulose is used to create the cell wall that gives a plant structure.
Humans cannot digest cellulose.
glycogen chitin Polysaccharides energy storage in animals in liver & muscles chitin structure in exoskeleton & fungi
Animals store energy in the muscles and liver in the form of glycogen.
