1 MACROmolecules BIG molecules

2 What are the four groups of carbon compounds found in living things? Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids

3 1. Carbohydrates Made of… Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Examples: glucose fructose lactose Function: Provides Energy Monomer: Monosaccharide Mono = one Saccharide = sugar Glucose Molecule

4 2. Lipids Made of… Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Examples: Fats Oils Waxes Cholestrol Function: energy storage, cell membrane, hormone Monomer: Triglyceride (three fatty acids, 1 glycerol)

5 3. Proteins Large molecule made of… Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen Sulfur Examples: hemoglobin (in blood) Actin & myosin (muscles) Keratin (hair, nails) Monomer: Amino acids (20 total) Function: structure, aid in chemical reaction, immune response

6 4. Nucleic Acids Monomer made of… Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen Phosphorous Examples: DNA (deoxyribo-nucleic acid) Function: contains the info cells need to make proteins (“blueprint” for life) Monomer: Nucleotide (contains sugar molecule, phosphate molecule, & base molecule)
