1. MACROMOLECULES
Foldable Notes

2. Carbohydrates Monomer is glucose (C6H12O6)
Made up of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen (Carb-O-Hyd-rate) in a ring
Examples: sugars, starches
Broken down by cells to provide energy
Provide plant cells with structure

3. Lipids No monomer Made up of chains of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
Examples: fats, oils, cholesterol
Provide energy and structure
Phospholipids (lipids with a phosphate head) create the cell membrane

4. Proteins Monomer is amino acids
Made up of chains of amino acids held together by peptide bonds
There are 20 different amino acids; they are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur
Humans can only make 12 of the amino acids – that is why we need proteins like meats, eggs, beans, and nuts in our diets
Functions include antibodies, movements, enzymes, hormones, storage of amino acids, and transport of materials through the blood

5. Nucleic Acids Monomer is nucleotides
Made up of nucleotides (sugar, phosphates, and nitrogen)
Two types – DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid)
Store genetic information, help build proteins
