3.2 Molecules Flashcards
Fats/lipids monomers
fatty acids and glycol
carbohydrates monomer
are monosaccharides
carbohydrates function
provides energy to the body through glucose and provides structural support to plant cells, arthropods
Fats function
storing energy for long-term use provides insulation for plants and animals
Proteins monomers
amino acids
proteins function
helps breakdown arrangement or synthesis reactions help metabolism
polymers of fats
triacylcrol, phospholipids
examples of fats
palm oil, peanut paste
polymers of carbohydrates
polysaccharides
examples of carbohydrates
brown sugar, powdered milk, peanut paste
polymers of proteins
polypeptides
example of proteins
peanut paste, powdered milk
nutrients
components in food that the body needs to grow, develop, and repair
energy
ability to do work
process of breakdown
process of digestion, enzymes help reaction in the body, starts in the mouth
mineral
inorganic for normal growth and reproduction. An example is calcium
macronutrients
nutrients carbs, and proteins organisms must ingest in large amounts
vitamin
organic small amounts for normal growth and reproduction
micronutrients
nutrients ex vitamins and minerals ingested in all amounts
protein structure
N, O, C, H, , rings
carbohydrates structure
CHO, hydroxyl, rings
nuclei acid structure
C, H,O, N, P,carbonyl, amino, rings
lipids structure
CHO, carboxyl, methyl, branches
