1. MACROMOLECULES OR
BIOMOLECULES

2. 4 Groups of Biomolecules:
Carbohydrates
Proteins
Lipids
Nucleic Acids

3. Carbohydrates
Used for QUICK energy
ex. glucose, starch.
Sugar + sugar + sugar = starch

4. Made up of amino acids Proteins
Used for building and repair, transport as part of the cell membrane, and enzymes.

5. ex.amylase, transcriptase, etc.
Enzymes are Proteins that are catalysts – they speed up the rate of chemical reactions.
● They end in -ase
ex.amylase, transcriptase, etc.
Substrate ↓

6. Used for STORING ENERGY Examples: fats, oils, waxes
Lipids
Used for STORING ENERGY
Examples: fats, oils, waxes
Part of cell membrane (phospholipid bilayer with polar heads and non-polar tails)

7. DNA
RNA

8. Nucleic Acids DNA contains the genetic code – It is a double helix
Deoxyribose is the sugar
Made up of nucleotides:
1. Sugar
2. Phosphate
3. Nitrogen Base

9. Nucleic Acids
RNA guides protein synthesis –it is a single strand - ribose is the sugar
Made up of nucleotides:
1. Sugar
2. Phosphate
3. Nitrogen Base
