• Composition (elements)


  Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
• Function


  Role or purpose
• Carbohydrates


  • Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
  • Monosaccharides
  • Source of energy for our body
• Lipids


  • Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur
  • Glycerol and fatty acids
  • Energy storage, protection, chemical messengers, repel water
• Proteins


  • Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
  • Amino acids
  • Storage, signal, structural, defensive, catalyst, transport, receptor
• Carbohydrate sources


  • Rice, potatoes, cereal, fruit, bread
• Lipid sources


  • Avocados, dairy products, bacon, peanuts, ice cream
• Protein sources


  • Meat, mushrooms, seafood, nuts, vegetables, breast
• Carbohydrates give a steady supply of amino acids
• Carbohydrates are biomolecules of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
• Collagen gives you healthy skin and hair
• Lipids are found in fats and oils
• Dehydration reaction


  When two monosaccharides combine, water (H2O) is released
• Nucleic acids exclusively contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen
• Excessive consumption of saturated fats increases risk of heart disease, elevated cholesterol, obesity, and metabolic syndrome
• Triglycerides are the most common types of lipids that serve as a major source of energy storage, insulation, and protection for organs
• When a disaccharide undergoes hydrolysis, a water molecule is added resulting in a chemical formula of C6H12O6
• DNA is the biomolecule essential for conducting the PCR test for COVID-19
• Tertiary structure gives proteins their unique three-dimensional shape
• Ways to monitor carbohydrate, lipid, and protein consumption

  • Food journal
  • Nutrition tracking apps
  • Read food labels
  • Consult a dietitian
  • Regular health check-ups
• Consuming too much whole milk each day can result in weight gain due to the additional saturated fats and calories
• Proteins with a ring-like quaternary structure are hemoglobin
• When swimming for hundreds of miles

  Lipids provide long-term energy, not carbohydrates
• Monitoring carbs, fats and protein consumption allows you to make informed dietary choices, optimize nutrient intake, support healthy goals, and maintain a healthy lifestyle
