C H O > 2:1 ratio
Lipids
Monomer of lipids`
Fatty acid
Glycerol
C H O N only and sometimes P S N
Protein
C H O N P always
Nucleic Acids
What is the monomer of nucleic acids?
Nucleotides

- sugars
- startches (amylose)
- glycogen
What are the bonds that join carbohydrates
Glycosidic linkeages
Example of lipids

Function of carbohydrates…
Short term energy
Function of lipids
Long term energy
Function of nucleic acid
Store and transfer information
Function of proteins
Catalyze reactions, transport, structure, defense
What bonds are between nucleic acids.
Phosphodiester linkeage
Unsaturated
Fat containing 1 or more double bonds
Saturated
Containing a single bond throughout the whole thing
Carbohydrates structure
Ring
Dehydration synthesis
Monomers—>polymers
Remove a water to do that^
—OH. HO—
Take the 2 h and 1 O to make H2O. The monomers will stick together with oxygen to bind the pieces
Hydrolysis
Add water to two things that are already water
Go back to two separate molecules holding the molecules together
Polymer—>monomer
