Biomolecules

• Lipids- Fats and oils that are made up of fatty acids and the energy storage
• Carbohydrates - Sugars, starches, cellulose
• Nucleic Acids - DNA and RNA
• Proteins - Amino Acid Polymers
• Amino acids - The building blocks of proteins
• Polypeptides - Chains of amino acids joined by peptide bonds
• Biomolecules- are molecules that are made up with carbohydrates, lipids, protein, and nucleic acid.

  Organic molecules
• Lipids - Fats, oils, waxes, steroids, phospholipids
• Carbohydrates - Sugars, starches, cellulose, glycogen
• Carbohydrates- made from aldehydes and ketones
• Monosaccharides- single unit of carbohydrates
• Glucose- the most abundant monosaccharides
• Fructose- sugar from fruits
• Galactose- sugar from milk
• Lactose- galactose + glucose
• Disaccharide- two units joined together by dehydrogenation reaction (condensation)
• Sucrose - a disaccharide made from glucose and fructose
• Lactose - condensation of glucose and galactose molecules
• Maltose - condensation of two glucose molecules
• Starch is the main storage form of carbohydrates in plants and consists of amylose and amylopectin.
• Polysaccharides are long chains of monosaccharides, with many different types including starch, glycogen, cellulose, chitin, and hyaluronic acid.
• Cellulose is a structural polysaccharide found in plant cell walls that provides strength and rigidity.
