BIOCHEMISTRY Part II
CARBOHYDRATES Monomer = monosaccharide (simple sugar) Made of C, H, and O and easily recognized by ring structure but no N like in DNA!!
CARBOHYDRATES MACROMOLECULES 2 monosaccharides = disaccharide 3 or more monosaccharides = polysaccharide such as starch or cellulose Disaccharide
3. Carbohydrates3. Carbohydrates Function: broken down to provide quick energy for cells Example: sugars and starches (pastas, breads, candy etc)
4. Lipids4. Lipids Monomer: Fatty Acids Functions Store Energy Make up cell membranes Used to make hormones
4. Lipids4. Lipids Made up of C, H, O Long and non polar Hydrophobic: does not dissolve in water Examples: fats, oils, phospholipids, steroids, waxes, and pigments found in mayonnaise, ice cream, hot cheetos etc
