Biomolecules

• Biomolecules- produced by living organism, including macromolecules such as protein, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids
• Types of biomolecules:

  • Carbohydrates
  • Nucleic acids
  • Protein
  • Lipids
• CARBOHYDRATES - called sugar generally and comprises by elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen
• Glucose, Galactose and Fructose are example of Monosaccharides
• Carbohydrates classfication:

  • Monosaccharides
  • Dissaccharides
  • Polysaccharides
• Dissaccharides examples are:

  • Lactose
  • Maltose
  • Sufose
• Polysaccharides examples are:

  • Starch
  • Glycogen
  • Cellulose
• combination of two glucose is called Maltose
• Glucose can found in blood
• Another term for Maltose is malt sugar
• C6 -H10 - 06 is monosaccharides
• monosaccharides= mono means one and saccharides is sugar
• dissaccharides= means two sugar
• Polysaccharides= means three or more sugar
