Foldable Format
Macromolecule Foldable
General Structure
Nucleic Acids
Proteins

Carbohydrates

3. General Structure Monomer – single subunit of a larger molecule
Polymer – large molecule made of repeating subunits (monomers)
Macromolecules are important polymers found inside cells.

4. Nucleic Acids
Elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Sulfur 
Monomers: Nucleotides
Biological Function:
Store genetic information
Direct the synthesis of proteins
Examples:
DNA (2 Strands)
RNA (1 Strand)

5. Proteins Elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen
Monomers: Amino Acids
Biological Functions:
Catalyze chemical reactions (enzymes)
Structural support
Transport molecules in cell
Protective molecules of cell
Examples:
Enzymes, Collagen, Keratin , Hemoglobin (blood), Antibodies

6. Lipids Elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen (Phosphorus, Sulfur)
Monomers: glycerol + fatty acid chains
Biological Functions:
Nonpolar molecules (Not soluble in water)
Insulation
Waterproofing
Long term energy storage
Make up cell membrane
Examples: Fats, Phospholipids, Waxes, Oils, Steroid

7. Carbohydrates Elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen atoms (1:2:1 ratio)
Monomers: Simple sugars = Monosaccharides (glucose)
Biological Functions:
Energy storage
Structural support
Examples:
Monosaccharides = glucose, fructose
Disaccharides = sucrose
Polysaccharides = starch, glycogen , cellulose, chitin
