2c - biological molecules Flashcards
what are the 3 main bio molecules?
carbohydrates, lipids and proteins
monomer for carbs?
monosaccharide ( glucose)
monomer for proteins?
amino acids (21 diff types)
monomer for lipids?
glycerol and fatty acids
monomer for nucleic acid?
nucleotides
elements for carbs
C, H , O
elements for lipids
C,H, O
elements for proteins
C, H, O, N, (somegimes P and S)
elements in nucleic acids
C, H, O, N, P
what is the use of carbs (3 main point)
- main energy source
- to carry chem reactions
- for movement
what are proetins? ( 3 points / concepts)
builiding blocks, polypeptides, amino acids combined
what are the use of portiens (4 points)
- to grow
- to repair damaged tissue
- can be used for energy (emergency, only if no lipids/carbs)
- break down food
which biological molecule if 1st priority for energy useage (list order)
- carb 2. lipid 3. protein
what is teh relation between amino acids and protiens
amino acids combined = proteins
proteins digested/broken down
amino acids = left
what are lipids ?
fats,
