BIOMOLECULES

• A molecule that can be

  bonded to other identical

  molecules to form a polymer. Monomer
• Any of a class of natural or

  synthetic substances composed of

  very large molecules. Polymer
• Type of Biomolecules that provides short term energy, some ex are pasta and rice. It is Carbohydrates
• monosaccharide is the building block of carbohydrates
• The most common type of sugar found in plants and animals. Glucose
• monosaccharides has glucose, fructose, and galactose
• Disaccharides has maltose, lactose, sucrose
• Polysaccharides have starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin
• Glucose is a blood sugar
• sugar found in milk, galactos
• glucos + glucose is maltose
• glucose + galactose is Lactose
• Glucose + Fructose is Sucrose
• one of the primary sources of food energy

  for human beings is starch
• A substance deposited in bodily tissues as a stored of

  carbohydrates. Glycogen
• Cellulose is the main substance in the walls of plant

  cells
• Test for Starch is called iodine test
• benedicts test is for simple sugar / carbohydrates
• protein building block is amino acids, are linked together to form polypeptides
• enzymes. Proteins that help

  speed up chemical

  reactions in our

  bodies
• Hemoglobin is essential for

  transferring oxygen in your

  blood from the lungs to the

  tissues
• The test for protein is biuret test
• Lipids, serves as the stored energy

  molecules
• The building block of lipids is fatty acids
• Lipids are

  HYDROPHOBIC and

  do not dissolve in water
• The test for lipids is Ethanol emulsion test
• Nucleic Acid, Lipids, Carbohydrates, and Proteins are the four major macromolecules
