polymer
A molecule that is made up of repeating units called monomers.
The simple sugar is the repeating part or monomer in a polysaccharide.
Carbohydrate chemical make up
Carbohydrates all have carbon, hydrogen,
and oxygen. This always occurs
in a 1:2:1 ratio,like glucose
glucose.
carbohydrate functions
PROVIDE ENERGY
carbohydrate examples
There are sugars (eg
glucose) and then complex carbs for example starch, cellulose (found in
cell walls.
what is the monomer for carbohydrates
Monosaccharide=simple sugar
what is the polymer for carbohydrates?
Many monosaccharides join to make
polysaccharide.

-Collagen is a protein that gives the skin elasticity
-Insulin is a protein and hormone that helps your body
regulate sugar levels in your body
-Hemoglobin-a protein with iron
-Structure: makes up muscle, cell membrane, collagen, etc…
-enzymes: make up parts of the body, control
chemical reactions
protein monomers
amino acids
protein bonds
peptide bonds are unique bonds for protein
protein polymer
Polypeptide: Many peptide bonds between
amino acids, the monomers
