1. Macromolecules Organic (carbon) polymers- (repeating units) that make up living things Monomer Polymer

2. Proteins Proteins- polymers from monomers called amino acids for body structure (hair, muscles, nails)

3. Enzymes Enzymes- Proteins that speed up chemical reactions in the body. Put together or breakdown polymers

4. Enzyme Denature An enzyme will denature (lose its shape) under certain conditions (like temp.)

5. Nucleic Acids -Nucleic acids— polymers formed from monomers called nucleotides -Store genetic information (DNA)

6. Carbohydrates - Carbohydrates—polymers formed from sugar monomers -provide energy for the body (starch)

7. Lipids -Lipids- Used for energy storage, insulation, and to keep water out. Ex oils, fats

8. Saturated Fat Saturated fats –fats that are solids at room temperature (over use can clog arteries) Animal fats

9. Unsaturated fats Unsaturated fat- fats that are liquids at room temperature Fish, vegetable oil (omega oils health benefits)
