1
Wake-up 1.Compare and contrast the structure of a carbohydrate and a lipid. 2. Different organisms store glucose in different forms. You discover an unidentified specimen. Upon chemical analysis you find that it is made up of significant amounts of GLYCOGEN. Is it a dog, mushroom, grass, or a potato.
2
Wake-up 1.Explain the difference between energy in terms of carbs and lipids. 2.What are the monomers of the following: a.Nucleic acid b.Carbohydrate c.Protein d.Lipid

9
Carbohydrate Functions #1 Immediate energy source Burn quickly
10
Carbohydrate Function #2 Stored Energy Organisms store what they don’t use
11
Carbohydrate Function #3 Provide structure for plants, fungus, and arthropods
12
Example of a Polysaccharides Cellulose: Provides structure for plants
13
Example of a Polysaccharide Starch: Stored Energy in plants
14
Example of a Polysaccharide Glycogen: Stored energy in animals
15
Examples of a Polysaccharide Chitin: Structure and support for arthropods and mushrooms
16
Lipids Function #1 Long term energy storage
17
Lipids Function #2 Provide Insulation
18
Lipids Function #3 Regulate water movement in and out of the cell (cell membrane)
19
Steroid: Cholesterol Provide structure in the cell membrane. Used to make hormones such as estrogen. Lipids Function #4
20
Proteins Function #1 Make up the structure and function of muscles
22
Proteins Function #2 Provides structure in hair, nails, and skin
23
Proteins Function #2-cont. Provides structure feathers and hooves
24
Proteins Function #3 Blood has hemoglobin (protein) which helps transport oxygen
25
Proteins Function #4 Insulin (protein) helps glucose move from our bloodstream to our cells
26
Protein Function - #5 Enzymes (Protein) fuel every chemical reaction in organisms. Helps form bonds and break things down
27
Proteins Function #6 Help transport substances in and out of the cell
28
Nucleic Acid Function #1 Responsible for an organisms genetic make-up (DNA)
29
Nucleic Acid Function #2 Usable form of energy (ATP)
30
Nucleic Acid – Function #3 Makes Proteins: RNA
