Biomolecules: What We Are Made Of. Shannon Harris and Mattison Huggins

Biomolecules: The Building Blocks of Life 4 main molecules: Nucleic Acids, Glucose, Lipids, and Amino Acids. The main element in all of them is Carbon. (many other elements make up these molecules as well) All work together to sustain life.

Nucleic Acids: Store genetic information, which build the structure of proteins. The monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides. They are found in living organisms. It is not necessary to take in nucleic acids, because the body produces them naturally. Nucleic acids make up DNA (double stranded) found in nucleus. Also makes up RNA (single stranded) which is used to transcribe proteins.

Lipids Store energy for the body (ex. Fats) Structural components of membranes (ex. Cell membrane) Used as messengers. (ex. Hormones) Insoluble in water and only soluble in non-polar solvent. (ex. Monomers are: fatty acids, glycerol, and oils.

Glucose: The primary type of sugar running through blood vessels. Our body produces and intakes insulin, which controls the body's level of glucose. Starches, alcohol, and dietary fibers contain glucose. Honey Milk Candy Popcorn Raisins Jelly

Amino Acids: Non-essential: Amino Acids the body synthesizes itself. Essential: Amino acids which food supplies to the body. Transports vitamins, minerals through blood vessels. Create hormones, anti-bodies, and enzymes. (These Protect the immune system.) Create Keratin and Collagen: good for hair, skin, nails, teeth, bones, and blood vessels. The basic ingredients to make protein, which supplies the body with energy. Examples of Amino Acids: Beans Nuts Eggs Legumes/Fruit Soy Beef Chicken Fish
