1 Organic Compounds

2 Carbohydrates Polymer Monomer monosaccharide Function body’s primary
(Macromolecule) Carbohydrates Monomer monosaccharide Function body’s primary source of energy Examples glycogen (animals); starch (plants) cellulose (plant cell wall) Diagram glucose molecule

3 Three Types of Carbohydrates:
Monosaccharide – “mono” means one a single sugar Disaccharide – “di” means two two sugars Polysaccharide – “poly” means many sugars

4 Lipids Polymer Monomer fatty acids & glycerol Function
(Macromolecule) Lipids Monomer fatty acids & glycerol Function long term energy storage insulation (conserves heat) Examples fats, oils, waxes, steroids, cholesterol phospholipids (cell membrane) Diagram

5 Common Lipid Structures
Triglyceride Phospholipid saturated unsaturated

6 Proteins Polymer Monomer amino acids Function
(Macromolecule) Proteins Monomer amino acids Function needed for growth & repair Examples enzymes, hemoglobin, collagen, muscle, hair, nails, hormones Diagram = Polypeptide Chain peptide bond

7 Polypeptide Chain Polypeptide Chain = Chain of Amino Acids = Protein
Peptide bonds = bonds between amino acids

8 Protein Structure

9 stores genetic information & helps make proteins
Polymer (Macromolecule) Nucleic Acids Monomer nucleotides Function stores genetic information & helps make proteins Examples DNA, RNA Diagram Nucleotide:

10 Molecular Structure Of . . .
nucleotide  DNA RNA nucleotide

11 Polymer or Monomer? And what type of molecule?
