Module 1-5

• Charles law- directly proportional
• Boyle's law- inversely proportional
• Gay Lussac's law- the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature
• Molecule- combination of two or more atoms
• 4 main types of biomolecules- carbohydrates, protein, nucleic acids,lipids
• Carbohydrates- are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen,and most common biomolecules also primary energy source of our body
• Protein- the building blocks of life, made up of amino acids.
• Lipids- fats and oil
• Nucleic acids- DNA AND RNA
• Biomolecules- are molecule that are made up of carbon, hydrogen,oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus
• Biomolecule have a single basic building unit called? monomer
• Menos meaning- single
• Meros meaning- part
• Monomer- a molecule that can be bonded to form a polymer
• macromolecules- large molecules composed of thousands of

  covalently connected atoms.
• Nucleic acid- main information-carrying molecules of the cell
• Lipids - polymers called diglycerides, triglycerides; monomers are- fatty

  acids
• Proteins- polymers are known as polypeptides; monomers are- amino acids
• Nucleic Acids - polymers are DNA and RNA; monomers are- nucleotides,

  which are in turn consist of a nitrogenous base, pentose sugar, and phosphate

  group
• Carbohydrates - polymers are polysaccharides and disaccharides;

  monomers are- monosaccharides (simple sugars)
