1 Biomolecules Molecular basis of life

2 Polymers “mer” means unit “mono” means one Monomer-one unit “poly” means many Polymer-many units Polymers are made of many monomers

3 Biomolecules Four majors types of Biomolecules Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids

4 Carbohydrates Monomer-simple sugar like glucose Stores energy and provides structure Simple Sugars Glycogen Starch – in plants Blank

5 Candy Question What are lipids?

6 Lipids Used to store energy One gram of fat contains over twice the energy of one gram of carbohydrate Important categories Fats, Oils, Waxes Steroids Phospholipids Structure Glycerol molecule + 3 fatty acids

7 Proteins Monomer-amino acid Provide structure and help chemical reactions Enzymes-speed up chemical reactions
