1. ORGANIC MOLECULES

2. Proteins

3. PROTEIN ELEMENTS: C H O N (sometimes P and S)
BUILDING BLOCKS (SUBUNITS): amino acids (20)
FUNCTIONS:
growth and repair
*enzymes – speed reactions (End in –ASE)
Hormones –insulin, controls blood sugar
Immune System – antibodies and white blood cells
Hemoglobin – carries oxygen in the blood
nails, hair, muscle
last resort source of energy*
SOURCES: dairy products, peanuts, meat, fish (if it had a mama it is a protein!)

4. BONDING OF AMINO ACIDS Amino acids bond together making proteins.
C—N peptide bond forms between amino acids
Amino acids end in: ine or -ate

6. Nucleic acids

7. NUCLEIC ACIDS ELEMENTS: C H O N P BUILDING BLOCKS: nucleotides
Sugar + phosphate+ N base
FUNCTIONS: 1. genetic blueprints
2. transferring information
EXAMPLES: DNA and RNA

8. Carbohydrates
Proteins
Lipids
Nucleic Acids

9. Biomolecule Foldable Things to remember:
Front cover:
Name of biomolecule
Basic structural drawing (polymer)
Within each section include:
Name of biomolecule again
Name of monomer(s)
Chemical components (what elements?)
Function within us
Examples
Additional special properties
Back:
Your name and class block
Things to remember:
Be sure to organize your information in a way that you can use it.
Basic structures for both the monomer and the polymer are needed.
Neatness matters
