biomolecule groups Flashcards
carbohydrates’s monomers
monosaccharide
glucose
lipids monomer
no simple monomer
some lipids made from glycerol (3C) and fatty acids
Proteins monomer
amino acids
nucleic acid monomer
nucleotide
= phosphate + 5C sugar + nitrogenous base
Carbohydrate polymer
polysaccharide
(glycosidic linkage)
Lipids polymer
trigylcerides, phospholipids, waxes, steroids
proteins polymers
polypeptide (peptide linkage/bond)
nucleic acid polymer
polynucleotide = nucleic acid (phosphodiester linkage)
Carbohydrates example
cellulose, amylose, glycogen
disaccharides: sucrose, maltose
lipids examples
“triglycerides” (olive oil and butter)
phospholipids, waxes, steroids, cholesterol
proteins examples
hemoglobin, most enzymes,
insulin, keratin, ion channels
nucleic acids examples
ATP (triphosphate nucleoside), DNA & RNA (nucleic acids), NAD (a di-nucleotide)
are carbs polar or non polar
polar
lipids polar or nonpolar
non-polar
carbohydrates functional groups
OH groups
carbonyl group
