biomolecules, nucleic, lipid, protein

• lipid - Storing energy for later use.
• lipid - Storing energy for later use.
• phospholipids - lipids that fatty acids and alcohol are present, they also contain phosphorous, nitrogenous bases and other substitution groups
• phospholipids - Lecithin and cephalins are examples for
• glycolipids - lipids that contain carbohydrates, referred as glycolipids. They contain as special alcohol mostly called sphingosine or sphingol and nitrogenous base. They do not have phosphorous. Gangliosides and cerebrosides are examples of compounds lipids.
• sulpholipids - a lipids with sulfate groups
• lipoprotein - a lipids contain protein then they are known as lipoproteins.
• Chylomicrons - also known as ultra-low-density lipoproteins (ULDL), are lipoprotein particles that consist of triglycerides.
• Triglycerides - are fat molecules that make up most of your body fat and the fat found in food.
• High triglyceride - levels can increase your risk for heart disease, stroke, and nerve damage. There is a link between chronically elevated triglyceride levels and atherosclerosis as well as insulin resistance.
• • VLDL-Very-low-density lipoprotein - is produced in the liver and released into the bloodstream to supply body tissues with a type of fat (triglycerides).
• Fatty acids - the building blocks of the fat in our bodies and in the food we eat
• •Fats are solids at room temperature and contain saturated fatty acids. Produced only by animals such as lard and butter.
• Example of fatty acids are lauric acid and linoleic acid. At room temperature, lauric acid is solid while linoleic acid is liquid.
• Example of fatty acids are lauric acid and linoleic acid. At room temperature, lauric acid is solid while linoleic acid is liquid.
• Saturated fat is solid at room temperature while unsaturated fat is liquid at room temperature in oil form
• Unsaturated fats are healthier than saturated fats because they help lower cholesterol and improve heart health, whereas saturated fats can increase cholesterol. Both saturated and unsaturated fats can be a part of a healthy diet, though it's important to consume them in moderation.
• Unsaturated fats are found in plant foods and oily fish, and they are usually liquid at room temperature. They're found in: oils from vegetables, nuts and seeds, such as sunflower, olive, peanut, walnut and corn oil
• Calories - The amount of energy in an item of food or drink is measured in calories. When we eat and drink more calories than we use up, our bodies store the excess as body fat. If this continues, over time we may put on weight.
• Calories - The amount of energy in an item of food or drink is measured in calories. When we eat and drink more calories than we use up, our bodies store the excess as body fat. If this continues, over time we may put on weight.
• Wax - is also produced by insects, e.g. the honeycombs of bees and wasps.
• USES OF WAX 1. Wax is used in pharmacy to make soft ointments harder and to prepare lip salves. 2. The technical uses of waxes are substantial, e.g. in shoe polishes and car waxes
• Steroids are another class of lipids whose molecules are composed of fused rings of atoms
• Cholesterol is a sterol because of the presence of alcohol or the hydroxyl functional group. It is found in animal cells, plants also contain small amount of cholesterol
• Studies shown that cholesterol was found to be the most important factor in the formation of synapses, which greatly affect our memory and learning ability
• Cholesterol the most important steroid
• Animals are able to use cholesterol to synthesize other steroids like cortisone, testosterone and estrogen.
• LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called "bad" cholesterol, makes up most of your body's cholesterol....
• •Cholesterol is an essential lipid for humans, but excessive levels of cholesterol in the blood can lead to deposits in the arteries of the heart that leading cause of heart disease
• HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called "good" cholesterol, absorbs cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver.
• HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called "good" cholesterol, absorbs cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver.
• •Proteins - are made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur.
• Amino acid - the simpler components of proteins.
• There are 20 amino acids found in the human protein, only 11 can be synthesize by the body and 9 must be supplied by the foods we eat which are also called as essential amino acids. Adults only need to obtain 8 of them which are valine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalamine, threonine and tryptophan. The 9th amino acid- histidine - is essential for infants.
• Enzyme-other type of protein a type of biological catalysts and galactose. These molecules speed up biochemical reactions.
• Enzyme lactase its role is to breakdown the sugar lactose into glucose
• Hydrolysis - is a reaction in which water is added to a reactant, breaking the reactant into two product molecules.
• Monomer - ia a small molecule that joins with other similar molecules to make a polymer, repeating units of a polymer
• Polymer - is a large organic molecule consisting of small repeating units called monomers.
• Nucleic Acid - ⚫are large biomolecules that play essential roles in all cells and viruses. A major function of nucleic acids involves the storage and expression of genomic information. Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, encodes the information cells need to make proteins. ⚫are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorous atoms. Nucleic acids store and transfer cellular information and transfer energy in all living organisms.
